235 Gold Street Revealed
The rough details of the Lazerian family project at Gold and Tillary in Downtown Brooklyn—somewhere between 377 and 500 apartments, depending on whether you believe the DOB filings or the NY Sun—haven’t been a secret for a while.

The rough details of the Lazerian family project at Gold and Tillary in Downtown Brooklyn—somewhere between 377 and 500 apartments, depending on whether you believe the DOB filings or the NY Sun—haven’t been a secret for a while. The look of the building has, though. Until now. The 12-story design by Avinash Malhotra Architects feels similar in style and scale to Avalon Christie in Manhattan, doesn’t it? Note the Golden Arches at left. Big Mac, anyone? It may be a while before we see the real goods—things haven’t been exactly flying along on-site.
Development Watch: 235 Gold Street [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
Keep building them. I love this. More choices, only short sighted losers (most probably bitter loser Brooklynites – read white trash fat lards) would be against this.
The rendering kind of ignores the BQE ramp right next door unless I am totally misunderstanding the vantage point. Also – I am not pointing out like the trolls who often post that EVERYTHING in Brooklyn is the projects – that this is kitty corner to the actual Walt Whitman houses and only one (albeit long block) to the Farragut houses.
Top dollar!
I have no idea if the tile business was profitable or not (and nor do you I suspect) but the point is successful or not from an architectural standpoint (which is what 10:16’s post was about) this building is far superior to what was there
This is gonna be so awesome!
Living right across from the firehouse – hot! (just not so quiet)
Across from McDonands – I’m lovin’ it!
Traffic – Jammin’!
BQE – on two sides!
Tards.
Mr. B’stoner: thanks for posting another condo for us to rip into. Gabby’s stuff has been boring lately, and I’ve been jonesing for some vitriol. Do more toxic development sites and class warfare, love that stuff too. Still, nothing beats a condo dustup to get the anger-wheels spinning. Keep it coming.
That’s pretty damn good, 10:11. Nice one!
what was there before was a profitable tile/granite business.
whats your point 10:21?
500 apartments? Who are they building all this housing for? The Mcdonalds was sold to a developer.No big macs from there. Slated to be condos.
10:16 this building will not be visable to people entering Brooklyn from the Manhattan Bridge; but even if it was….
What do you expect a residential building built in 2008 to look like(much less one built next to the BQE, a McDonalds and a storage facility) please provide an example of a residential building built anywhere in the last 10 years that you find acceptable
And btw no matter what this building looks like it is a vast improvement to what was there before
