Steel Rising at Metropolitan and Roebling

We spotted a schematic drawing on the construction fence at 291 Metropolitan Avenue, formerly the site of a one-story garage on the very busy corner of Metropolitan and Roebling in Williamsburg. The foundation was in and the steel structure for the five-story, 27-unit brick building was just past the first story when we stopped by a few weeks ago. Click through to the  jump to see.

BuzzBuzzHome found a couple renderings for what the finished building should look like, as we reported last week. The project is supposed to be completed by the end of this year, according to the sign on the construction fence. What do you think of the look?
