Development Watch: 184 Eagle Street
Rather (too, some might say) close to McGuinness Boulevard, this 7-story, 24-unit residential building is providing more action than this sleepy stretch of Eagle Street has probably seen in a while.

Rather (too, some might say) close to McGuinness Boulevard, this 7-story, 24-unit residential building is providing more action than this sleepy stretch of Eagle Street has probably seen in a while. It’s too early too tell what it’ll look like, but at least the developer is going the big-window route. What do you think the price per square foot will be for this baby when it’s done? Any chatter in the nabe?

Actually the parking on Eagle is not bad. There is alternate side of the street but not until 11:30 am and its usually easy to find parking.
I lived at 155 Eagle for 22 years, and whichever end of the street you are at, you are going to hear traffic. You get used to it, though. If you want quiet, move to rural PA where I live now. That is, if you don’t mind the bullfrogs on the pond, the peepers in the evening, or the roosters crowing all day long. Take your pick!
Sad to see all the old buildings coming down, even the ones that weren’t so great. We had sunlight due to the lack of tall buildings, these seven story new construction buildings will darken up the streets and apartments for the rest of the residents.
Eagle Street is very convenient to the G and the 7 train. And the walk across the bridge is quite pleasant. It was one of my favorites. I watched them build the Twin Towers from the Pulaski Bridge, so I’m glad I wasn’t still there to see it come down from that vantage point.
Nice Catholic Church – Sts. Cyril and Methodius – on Eagle Street.
Parking is horrendous. You have to move your car, and you’re always looking for a spot. I’d forget owning one and just take the subway.
This one’s on aptsandlofts as a rental – it’s starting to rent in July.
I lived at 182 Eagle Street for 13 years in a house that was 3 houses up from the Polasky Bridge/McGuiness Blvd. The truck traffic noise from the bridge wasn’t any louder than it was near Manhattan Avenue. If someone lives a block away from McGuinnes Blvd, they couldn’t possibly hear any truck traffic.
Also, the nearest entrance to the G train is on India Street, not Greenpoint Avenue, but a short walk either way. I used to walk from Eagle Street to John Ericson JHS and that was (if it’s still there) across the street from McCaren Park. It was easily three times the walk but not a bad walk at all.
But, when all is said and done, I wouldn’t want to live on McGuiness Blvd either. And someone brought up the subject of parking. I remember circling the block many times to find parking spots. Dupont, Eagle, Freeman, Green, Huron and India streets don’t have any more parking spots either.
700 or 800 psf, no way, not at the top end of greenpoint.
its well within waft-distance of the sewage works just two blocks away on the other side of Mcguiness. Plus its nearest station is greenpoint ave on the G. Nevertheless, I’m sure there’ll be a few hapless buyers signing contratcs under the impression its williamsburg.
BTW there is another new building on Eagle near Franklin.

Quiet street????? It’s ON McGuiness Blvd for goodness sake. And just 2 blocks off the bridge. McGuiness Blvd has lots of truck traffic all day long. The ground shakes when the big trucks come rolling by. I know, I’m a block off the Blvd.
Maybe rents will put up with it for a year or two, but to buy into? Not for me. I passed up a nice brick house on the Blvd EXACTLY for that reason.
