20 Bayard: Website Ready, Building Not
The partial stop work order at 20 Bayard Street aka Karl Fischer Row hasn’t stopped the project’s web developers from staying busy. When it’s finally done, the 80,000-plus-square-foot building is scheduled to have 64 apartments and 45 parking spaces. As the flash intro to the new web site that launched on Fridaydoesn’t let you forget,…

As the flash intro to the new web site that launched on Fridaydoesn’t let you forget, the sales pitch is all about one thing: the views. No pricing info has been disclosed yet. Any guesses?

Imnotyourdaddy is right… why keep saying how “ugly” the new construction is when most of williamsburg is hideous – aluminum siding, grandma awnings, wires everywhere, gross AC units. it’s not like williamsburg has this awesome housing stock. it’s only the old brick commercial buildings that are nice. most houses are shite.
a lot of people will want to live in a nice, new clean space overlooking a park.
No anon 5:33 is correct. Bayard is angled north directly toward greenpoint and that streatch from Meserole North is zoned for towers.
Anon 5:33 – YOU need to get out your map ! Lookin WEST from Bayard is CLEAR and NOT going to change -its a NYS park. Franklin has no impact on their views (and they are NOWHERE NEAR close to building anything on Franklin yet). As for Kent, Zoning laws prohibit anything > 6 stories (thats why N.8th by Halstead is only 6 stories and not 29 like Northside Piers)
I wasn’t being sarcastic either… the treatment plant is pretty cool 😉
At least these buildings aren’t aluminum sided.
The views will change – these buidlings abutt McCarren park, but their line of view of the city crosses the east river, and they’re buidling high rises all along kent and the lower part of Franklin. So get out your map dreadnappy
I think the new waste treatment plan is pretty cool (and I’m not being sarcastic this time).
But you don’t have to go that far to find a good looking building – across the park, the “wood” building at the corner of Lorimer (?) and Driggs is looking nicer every day.
It’ll be interesting to see how it looks after a few years of weathering, but so far, I like what I’m seeing.
yes, they are indeed ugly…. but come on people… we’re talking about WIlliamsburg right?
Next to the waste treatment plant in Greenpoint, these are the best looking thing for miles!
I freaked out the comments with my characters. What I meant was:
arrow to left UGS arrow to right
What I love is in the actual photo, that tiny little building sandwiched between the two on the right. God bless those snarly souls who just say no.
I should go offer to paint him a giant sign on a sheet to hang on his facade that says:
<-- UGS -->
