Although this project at 252 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill has been stalled out forever (we took a look back in the summer of 2006 and plans were finally filed—and then disapproved—this past summer), it’s good to finally get a look at what it is ultimately slated to look like. Designed by Chelsea-based Kossar & Garry Architects, the brick-and-glass structure should ultimately house 66 apartments over seven floors and 96,000 square feet of space. Waddya think of it?

BTW, there will be a shallow reflecting pool on the roof. odd but true – i have seen the plans. The bad news is parking under the building with entrance on Pacific! narrow street – not sure how they plan to pull this off…

That was really lame. Especially since everyone knows the House of Detention is currently inmate-less.
hello all,
I am an inmate at the house of detention and am using a laptop of a c.o. who was nice enough to let me. i think it is a good idea to use this new building as homes for baby mothers because it is really expensive to take the train or a cab to downtown brooklyn from east ny or brownsville projects. if my sons mother lived across the street, then i could see my son more. someone asked about retail store – i think that they should put a drug treatment program there because many inmates coming out of jail need to stay off drugs. if this was there, then we could all live together in peace. i also support the ratner stadium because i want to take my son to a game after my bid is up. remember, god loves us all. peace.
Actually, even though they’re only a few blocks apart, I’d say the this building’s location is dramatically different from 110 Livingston’s location. Twice as much traffic, more noise, etc.
Besides, it’s nowhere near as pretty as 110.
Much better than the gas station (or an empty lot) though. And I’d disagree with the previous poster who said the location is mind-blowingly bad for residential. It’s convenient, the back side is already nicely residential, and the immediate area is becoming nicer everyday.
really not all that different than the location of 110 livingston, which did alright.
Most heinous spot to live–all the Brooklyn Bridge traffic honking and screeching as they turn left on Atlantic Ave. EEEEK! one of the least friendly locations ever for pedestrians (and those with lungs). The building is “eh.” It’s ugly but it’s what is going up these days. The location is mindblowingly bad for residential, though.
ugly but so what. The days of beautiful mansions and brownstones are over. People want to live here and guess what? It turns out that ugly buildings provide the same amount of shelter as pretty ones.
oh, and who ever made the “baby momma” comment is a complete asshole
verr nice. i like.
When was this a community garden? It was a gas station and car wash.
