Development Watch: 400 Bedford Avenue

400-Bedford-Avenue-0809.jpg
It's unfortunate that the building that stands at the gateway to Williamsburg's main commercial thoroughfare should be designed by Henry Radusky but the die is cast so let's just hope for the best when this six-story, eight-unit development at 400 Bedford Avenue is unveiled. GMAP P*Shark DOB

You can see the back of the building from the bridge, and it doesn't look so bad. No Fedder boxes (yet anyway), decent balcony railing and the brick isn't the typical yellow. It appears to be rather basic, but a step above contractor-designed buildings. It also is probably not designed for the Hassidic community as the balconies all line up and the Hassidic housing they are offset for Sukkot.

I wonder if Radusky reads Brownstoner? Does he understand he's building crap and is just in it for the money? Or does he think his buildings are like, real architecture and is somehow managing to get rich by passing on his gift to all of us? If it's the former, he's a greedy scumbag; if it's the latter, then he's, well, a dimwit.
