We haven’t checked in with The Edge development on the Williamsburg waterfront since last April because, well, there really hasn’t been that much to report. Things are starting to heat up, however. The foundation work for the first phase of the project, which will include 575 market rate and 350 affordable units, is underway; a second phase could include another 500 to 600 apartments. Interestingly, Greenbuildings NYC reports that the developer, Douglaston Development, is shooting for a Silver LEED certification, which is extra sweet considering that part of the project includes a brownfield remediation. As Curbed notes, the project’s website now includes the best rendering to date of the two high-rise and two mid-rise buildings along with the news that the sales office will be opening in March 2008. This will be an important bellwether for the market. Should be interesting to watch.

  1. “I just bought a 2bd/2ba/1ho and I’m thrilled with the news that they’re finally building this. My only reservation is how high or low the ceiling height will be. If it’s anything below 10′ then it’s no good to me. I can’t ever move here or trade up here but for others it might not be an issue.”
