Development Watch: 160 Schermerhorn Tops Out
It only took about three months for the Schermerhorn House at 160 Schermerhorn Street to top out at 11 stories. Half of the 190 units will be for low-income residents and artists while the other half will be for the formerly homeless. Strange bedfellows for the new owners of the fancy 14 Townhouses next door….

Some More 411 on the “Schermerhorn House” [Brownstoner]
I love that this project was paid for privately minus 500K, yet there are about to be 4 billion dollars worth of luxury condos and an arena built within a mile of here with taxpayer dollars.
There are 8 million people in New York City. So you didn’t even pay 1 penny to help build this development.
You don’t think low income people are worth 1 cent.
That says it all.
7:38 is George Bush.
I 2nd 7:46 PM. Brooklyn is such a white trash wasteland.
You disgust me, 7:38.
Why would anyone pay the high cost of living in New York City if they don’t appreciate the arts? The arts are what have MADE this city. Without them, there would be no New York City. Not realizing that means you are even more stupid than I though.
You might as well move to Ft. Meyers and get it over with.
doesn’t sound ridiculous at all.
artists have been housed in the carnegie hall towers for years, and there was recently OUTRAGE that they were being displaced to make room for an expansion by that venue.
just goes to show what a difference a river makes in terms of support for the arts.
brooklyn is so backwater.
“Half of the 190 units will be for low-income residents and artists”–come on. You have to admit this sounds completely ridiculous, the “and artists” part of it.
Your analogy is pointless and moronic, asswipe, I mean 7:37.
WITH CITY MONEY, 7:33. Even if it’s $1 dollar, it’s my tax money. And I have no interest in subsidizing artists at the expense of ANYONE else who doesn’t have the luxury of deciding to dedicate their oh-so-special existence to art.
Hey 7:30….why offer homes in retirement communities to only those 55 and over? And hell, why can’t nursing homes start taking in low income children? And what’s with those halfway houses? They really need to start taking in wall streeters so they can save some cash.
Housing for college students? Fuck them. We need to start putting some Lawyers in there. They are strapped for cash.
You are an idiot.
