Find Old-style Wburg Loft?

I'd love to find an unrenovated big old industrial loft in Northside Williamsburg. The developers who get hold of these buildings make them so slick, take the oil-stains and patches out of the floors, sheetrock the ceilings, etc. I drooled over 330 Wythe but it's just too far from the subway. How to find a place in an unfinished state???

I want to buy. Maybe a one-or-two story garage or little industrial building? Is the red tape impossible to convert to a house?

modsquad,

thanks! I was having a bummer night until i read your response. hahahehe snort hahahehe.

loftydreams, Only a couple decades late on the idea. Maybe you could find a former Fire house??

Industrial building... 30% down, 25 to 30k for the environmental. If you can handle that, then the red tape starts.

I just posted something about a hovel. Just need a small space. What are the smallest residential buildings in Brooklyn? It sounds like you might have to just buy a small piece of land and build custom.
