Development Watch: 120 South 8th Street Almost Ready
We happened to bump into the builder of 120 South 8th Street last week as we were on the street snapping a photo. It turns out that the 66-unit building (which replaced these two 19th-century structures) should be ready for move-in some time in October. Not surprisingly, it’ll be a rental.

Well, what about people who call themselves stroller mom?
soulless can also mean new, clean and air conditioning. think that south williamsburg is pretty cool. if you have kids there’s a new charter somewhere around there. PS 84 isn’t too far.
1500 for a brand new studio is cheap. i know more than a couple of 20 somethings spending that or more as a share in a 2 bed in wburg, so dirty is correct on pricing.
jmz is great. i walk there from n. wburg all the time to catch that train. comes constantly and you can get a seat. i work in soho, so i walk from the bowery stop. relaxing commute.
also, you can walk home over the bridge – it’s super close.
moto, dressler, diner, marlow and sons… all great. DOC wines is there and SOMA gym – which is big and new. good location i think.
The building has no visual charm or personality, hence “soulless”. Shouldn’t need explaining. But if Don Cornelius had built it, I bet it would have had plenty, ENY 🙂
The black building of death on Union went rental I guess.

Don Cornelius made a lot of money, and clearly had plenty of “soul.”
Obviously, I have to rethink my life and career choices.
I think $1,500 for a nice studio is reasonable. Especially in that area of Williamsburg. I personally like South Williamsburg more than the North now. Would actually be interested in checking this out once it becomes available.
BJW – I live up on the northside near the park, I just find the vibe down there a little more relaxing. Broadway is probably my favorite street in the nabe, and the JMZ is more convenient to my work. The side streets between Broadway and Division are pretty green and leafy too – not bad to take a stroll on. I’d also go out on a limb and say this area is better served by *real* supermarkets and banks.
Different strokes i suppose
anybody else notice there is a Stop Work notice on this building?
