Closing Bell: Beach Escape in Bushwick
Bushwick BK brings us the “Ocean Blue Residence,” a new development in Bushwick renting units from $1,000 to $3,000. Despite the checkerboard exterior – which the developer deemed a “piece of art” – the theme is carried on with blue walls, blue lights, and murals on every floor of blue oceans and skies.

Bushwick BK brings us the “Ocean Blue Residence,” a new development in Bushwick renting units from $1,000 to $3,000. Despite the checkerboard exterior – which the developer deemed a “piece of art” – the theme is carried on with blue walls, blue lights, and murals on every floor of blue oceans and skies. Some neighbors like it, others don’t, but the once-run down and abandoned building has become a neighborhood attraction. The developer plans to continue the checkerboard theme on another building at Greene and Wyckoff. Next color scheme: lavender.

haha – sassy!
was it in real bushwick or fake north hipster bushwick
DH,
I used to date someone in Bushwick in 2000 and went out there 3-4 times a week for months.
Wasn’t that before you were BORN?
😉
Interesting, if kind of ugly, but it shows a sense of humor. Still, I’ll take my “old dark brownstone…full of dusty antiques” over this any day 🙂
i think it’s cute when 11217 talks big about neighborhoods he’s too scared to walk through hehehe
ah okay – i thought you had your bushwicks confused and were doing your typical n brooklyn smackdown
i think the facade rules – theres a few wacky renos of bldgs in greenpoint and williamsburg that are fun.
how many of you have actually been out to this part of bushwick (besides mopar) ?
I LOVE it, why doesn’t everything have to be bland?
My point is that while it’s rather ugly, it’s not like this is Brooklyn Heights or something.
ANYTHING built on these empty lots are typically an improvement over what was there.
yes 11217 – southeastern bushwick is pretty rough around the edges still – what point are you trying to make?
Lovely neighborhood indeed.
