Advertising Begins for Big Boerum Hill Development
A banner has gone up on the large, under-construction development with frontage on Boerum Place, Atlantic Avenue, and Pacific Street announcing that it will be called 225 Pacific. So far, the condo's website says the following: "225 Pacific is a welcome addition for buyers who are looking for well-proportioned, functional and fashionable one, two and three bedroom homes. Designed to reflect pre-war architecture, it is built to blend the best of the traditional form with the conveniences of contemporary amenities. This elegant five story building will feature available parking spaces, a fitness center, storage and bicycle room, public roof top area, private roof top cabanas and a virtual doorman." Corcoran's going to be handling the sales.

A "virtual doorman."

"feature available parking spaces" - as opposed to what feature unavailable parking spaces?
Surprised they are marketing it as 'BoerumHill' location.

what on earth are going to go into those enormous street level units with the gigantic windows? A Mercedes showroom? An acquarium?

Well, it's in Boerum Hill. Boerum Hill goes east from Court Street.

Yeah, I walk by this all the time, and can't figure out what's going inside (based on the outside dimensions). It's not a bad looking building, though.

They should forget the condos and make the whole thing into a parking "amenity". They would make money hand over fist.
Nobody drives in NYC, but everybody needs a place to park.

From what I see on detail on outside of building, they do seem to be imitating old style and working well.
The big windows on street level I'm sure is commercial space..at least along Atlantic.
I'm not a neighborhood boundary policeman or fanatic...but maybe Boerum Hill to you and thats ok...but not a location so universally called that. Many would say east of Smith.
And since a block that also abuts Brooklyn Hts, etc. just surprised.

the site is neither in Cobble Hill nor in Brooklyn Heights. it is in ANHOD (area near house of detention)

Boerum Hill goes to Court Street.
And I respectfully disagree that this imitation old style is "working well". The cast stone brownstone looks more like half-eaten red velvet cake and the brackets at the cornice are straight out of a Sheepshead Bay olde-timey McMansion catalogue. I walk by this thing frequently and it keeps getting uglier by the day.

The facade materials look kind of cheezy, but 3 BR apts are a great idea. Definitely Boerum Hill...it usually goes to State St...and up to COurt.

I've found many descriptions of Boerum Hill going to Court St, and just as many that have the boundary at Smith. I've also seen some that consider Boerum Place the cut-off. I guess you can call it whatever you want. I'm looking forward to seeing these completed; the other day I could see the kitchen/living room areas, because they didn't have tint on the windows. I think this will be better than most newer projects in the area.

oh well, I gotta get some eyeglasses then. Not that really nice finish like the new places around corner on Dean/Boerum.

5 stories at Atlantic & Boreum in Downtown Brooklyn - what a waste!
Posted by: fsrg at September 23, 2009 2:03 PM
better than that gas station.
Posted by: Petebklyn at September 23, 2009 3:23 PM
I miss my gas station, and my mechanic.
A lot.

I think you can find him on Facebook. Ask to be his friend. But don't dare post a link here.
