Development Watch: 433 3rd Avenue, Now and Later

433%203rd%20avenue%20plus%20rendering.jpg
Lately work's been picking up on the 3rd Avenue site between 7th and 8th streets where a 27-unit rental is planned. The building's developer forwarded us the above rendering and said the design is going to see a few minor adjustments, but this is basically what the project will end up looking like. The architects on the job are SLCE.

The sky in the rendering is gloomy - and the building is awful, retail space or not.

the design seems to try and evoke the tenement buildings that were torn down to make way for this project.

OK all you design geniuses out there, I will give you a clue: square windows in a rectangular facade makes for ugliness and visual discord. You want to stick with rectangular proportions, next you want the proportion of each masonry opening to be related to every other opening and to the geometry of the facade as a whole. It is called design. Pick up one of my builders guides. Please.

prediction: this area of brooklyn is going to be as expensive as DUMBO someday due to the blighted industrial wasteland feel, big spaces and musicians, bands, artists, etc...

This doesn't look so bad to me.

I got a job in the high upper west side (96th st)and have to drive to into harlem sometimes and I was surprised at how nice and swanky all the new buildings are. While most have alot of glass they are sleek and have nice lobbies and overall seem expensive. This is in stark contrast to 4th ave which everything new is ugly and cheap looking.

this place looks like a holiday inn.
