BK Developers: What Are They Thinking?
Biking around the South Slope last week, the horror of this ground-floor design at 245 16th Street jumped out at us, which is really saying something on a block that has its fair share of ugly new buildings. The strangely angled modern window juxtaposed with the traditional-style interior wood railing is a real head scratcher….

The strangely angled modern window juxtaposed with the traditional-style interior wood railing is a real head scratcher. A quick perusal of this developer’s other designs shows that this one’s not an aberration. In all honesty, we can’t understand how anyone could have such bad taste. This stuff is horrendous and, project by project, ruining the landscape of the neighborhood.

you park slope people are funny. you choose to live in an area with dollar stores and low income people who live in hideous boring 100 year old homes with aluminum siding but criticize this?
most of the west south slope is crappy. big deal.
I thought this building looks similar to the one on 12th Street. The 12th Street building truely sucks….. You would have thought that any new building on this block would have been an improvement over what’s existing, but in this case, certainly not!!
Hope the future owner looks good in the buff.
damn, that is some seriously ugly design. mindblowing bad.
11:08 did Zeldin take advantage of undocumented laborers, too? Thanks for shedding light on the builder of monstrosities.
That Trump photo really bugs.
and looking through his past projects, i see that he is responsible for one of the most disgusting departures from context in a borough brimming with them at 480 State St – lovely block except for his POS.
lol how long until someon tries to skateboard up that thing?
“Some small property owners do their own design and hire contractors to do the job.”
10:19am, this is not some small fry guy. This property was the first to win their BSA vesting appeal after the rezoning of the South Slope. Mark Zeldin, owner and scumbag is also the great guy bringing you the triple mint POS across the street at 226-230 16th St. across the street (another great design http://tinyurl.com/26v7hu ). Working through SWO’s and violations on that one.
Then there’s 18-20 Jackson Pl. Remember the building that collapsed in July 2007…made the papers, the blogs? Mr. B, link here? Same great fellow who attempted to bribe a neighbor on Jackson Place who just so happens to be a Community Board member. And he’s still harassing the adjacent property owners as I type this.
And then there’s his property on 19th St. with it’s SWO due to undermining of adjacent properties.
What a gem of a guy, and such a great addition to the South Slope.
Blast this sucka Mr. B.

P.S. Brownstoner, congratulations on getting money from Donald Trump (ad appears on the right as I write).
Too bad we all have to see his face, though.
