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.

i love reading what others consider to be “reasonable”
$1500 for a studio seems fine, as long as the building ends up being decent. Went with a friend to see a pretty crappy ground floor studio (more of a faux 1BR actually) on the same block a few months ago – went for ~$1150 I think, so I think they can get away with a couple hundred more for a much nice place. dirty_hipster any particular reason you like this location? It’s a bit of a walk to everything (except the Marcy stop), no?
11217 — that just shocked me… $1,500 was presented as a glorious deal (in Williamsburg). From my poking around at housing options, there are plenty of apartments all over Brooklyn for $1,500… from very nice studios to 1-bedrooms to bigger (in less desirable areas)
$1,500 a month happens to be outside of my “living alone” price range… but DEFINITELY not even close to what I would consider a good deal…. in ANY borough, and especially not on picturesque South 8th Street.
It’s definitely not reasonable, Ty. I have no idea how so many people can afford such prices on their own, but clearly it happens. Those are facts.
Yeah… $2,300 a month for a studio. That also seems really reasonable.
haha – i see a 11217 fan club in the near future
Clearly you don’t read enough of them. But thanks for registering to give me a shout out!
Hey 11217,
I’ve seen quite a few of your comments lately, and I have to ask, are you just a bitter old guy or what? Is anything a positive in your eyes?
Well at least it doesn’t have floor to ceiling windows and juliette balconies.
