Tuscan Townhouses Have Risen
In October, we showed you the rendering of the Radusky-designed townhouses at 91-99 King Street in Red Hook that were described as “inspired by Tuscan architecture.” Well, behold them. And behold their listings: 93 to 99 are on the market (does that mean number 91 sold?) for $1.3 mill, boasting a roof deck, three stories…

And behold their listings: 93 to 99 are on the market (does that mean number 91 sold?) for $1.3 mill, boasting a roof deck, three stories and this description:
Exclusive loft style carriage houses encompass modern day living with old world charm. Sixteen foot ceilings and extra large windows allow airy natural light to fill this flowing space. The unique balance of a recycled brick façade and contemporary state-of-the-art finishes add to this unprecedented design. Enjoy the sunset over NY Harbor and Lady Liberty from your private terrace or roof deck.

this is directly across the street from the PJs.
What does it mean when a picture makes you want to cradle yourself and whimper softly in the corner?
Babylonia.

There’s a crazy building like this in Jackson Heights on 75th St. between 37th Ave. and Roosevelt. Really sticks out. It has not been fully rented since construction was finished around early 2007 or so. I always thought it was Mexican-style (or ancient Roman). In any case, they don’t seem to use an architect or any blueprints. Just put in windows mathematically, like Fair Isle knitting patterns. I guess it could be worse. But it looks strange.
$650 per sqft
Nokilissa–exactly! They’re very similar to mansions found throughout the middleast in some walled off compound, except they’re usually constructed out of concrete block.
I still think they’re pretty bad.
The surroundings in the rendering made me chuckle, too.
ENY – true…but there’s an ugly building in the rendering and an ugly building in reality.
The similarities are uncanny!
Yup ENY, reality sucks!!!
There’s no fire hydrant, telephone pole or street signs in the rendering, and there’s no cobblestone street in the photo.
