Development Watch: 277 Gold Street

At this point, while its sibling at 257 Gold Street is a little further behind, 277 Gold Street must be about ready to open for business. Since we last checked, there's a banner proclaiming the existence of a website for the rental building at www.bklyngold.com, but it's just a placeholder where you can submit your contact info; nothing juicy like layouts and prices just yet.

This looks like The Edge's shorter, fatter sibling.

Excellent. This town still has a massive housing shortage.

This must be the worst possible location. Right next to the BQE onramp and the projects. No public transit or retail in area.

No retail??? It's right across from Mickey D's!!! What more could you want?

You just described half of Williamsburg.

and all of Dumbo

Granted McD's is not ideal but the building looks pretty good from the outside, I think. They just need a good supermarket down there!

Posted by: lowintheheights at August 25, 2009 3:32 PM

I am sue that the building will be in talks with Whole foods when it comes to market and the deal is imminent :)

Posted by: brickoven at August 25, 2009 3:49 PM

supposedly whats-his-name is going to build the supermarket on Myrtle. Although the wide-street Tillary may create some psychological barrier it really isn't that far from Willoughby avenue entrance on Flatbush for the subway.
Are those other new buildings along Flatbush including retail at street level (Oro, Toren, Avalon)?

Posted by: Petebklyn at August 25, 2009 3:54 PM

I think they have retail spots that are empty Pete. The fact is that nobdoy lives in the area still except the 35 poor bastards that live in the Forte

Posted by: brickoven at August 25, 2009 3:58 PM

Forte is south of Fulton. not really so close to these.
And even if 1/2 units occupied when finished that is still lot of retail customers. And there are other people living in area - Univ. Towers, Kings-whatever, another one and some of the projects.

quick walk to york street F, plenty of retail that way and down flatbush and at fulton mall all of which are close. mega supermarket on myrtle next year, plenty of retail in oro and avalon eventually as well. some of the posts here are either ignorant or idiotic or both.

Yeah, jeez, McDonald's and a giant storage warehouse should be enough retail for anyone.

Posted by: zinka at August 26, 2009 12:02 AM

zinka - not everyone lives in your world where everything needs to be next door and across the street. did you know that it takes more than 10 minutes to walk to any subway stop from the center of park slope?

Posted by: BrooklynLove at August 26, 2009 8:00 AM

Sure, but those 10 minutes aren't along a virtual superhighway with an unforgiving streetscape. They're along historic tree-lined streets with lots of people around and lots to look at and shops and restaurants.

You're going to reply by saying that once these people move in, further development and retail will follow. And I just don't think that's true anymore when it's this hard to get credit. Marginal projects aren't going forward anymore.
