Development Watch: 165 Havemeyer Street
Not mincing words, blogger Brooklyn 11211 calls this nine-unit new building at 165 Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg “soul-deadeningly ugly’ and we’d have to agree.

“It boggles my mind, that all it takes is a cheap price and someone would then be interested in a total piece of crap.”
If my memory serves me correctly, a few years ago, 5th Ave in Park Slope was a ‘piece of Crap’. Cheap prices and people were interested.
You do know how markets work, correct?
um those are bike racks not balconies tybirg. it’s an amenity!
*rob*
As I mentioned before with regard to a certain big ol’ 4th Ave place… WHAT THE HELL is with the “balconies”??
These are just stupid. I appreciate that they even *thought* about providing a balcony, but how about one that is actually a balcony?
Seriously, What’s the difference between this and if they had simple put an iron fence in front of the door?
Hey now. Let’s be fair. That building is going to be BEE-YOO-TEE-ful once there’s a huge 25 by 6 sign for a liquor store or laundromat to cover up all the brick between first and second floors.
I’d probably buy one for the mere fact that its only 2 blocks from Walter Foods.

Let’s not bash Hasids for this- have you seen their buildings? This is far too plain and definitely built for those looking to live in trendy neighborhoods who before the crash would have bought anything in said neighborhood at any price because, hey, its trendy and proved they were oh so hip.
