Development Watch: Northside Piers Part Deux
The second, and better-located, tower at Toll Brothers’ Northside Piers project on the Williamsburg waterfront is almost all glassed up, according to this photo we snapped yesterday.

hey borninbk — how do you like it? I’ve had my eye on that place. love the new park. I used to live on N8th, when the park was a scrap heap, and I endured the glares of evil hipsters when, for a short period, I had commute to work in a suit on the Bedford L platform. Do you get any hating for living in a hi-rise? I know the right answer is “you don’t care”, and I trust that you don’t… but I’m just curious…are the hipsters over themselves yet?
All the snarkiness aside, I really hope all the planned projects for Kent Ave get built/filled with occupants (one way or another)
in 5-10 years – kent ave will be quite bustling
Started building early ’09. As a point of reference, I entered into contract in NSP1 when the entire tower was glassed up. From there it took an additional 14 months to close. This building is denser too, so unfortunately, like I said before no dice on the TCO anytime this year.
didn’t they start building the thing about a year ago? It looks over half done to me. Maybe TCO’s on the lower floors latter part of the summer.
I think they are sleek. Very sleek.
Also – no matter what they tell you they will build tower 3. The question is when. They own the entire plot of land already so to not build something would be foolish. Costs for building high rises like these are between $200-$300 / square foot so as long as they can clear that hurdle (assuming the land is already owned) then these puppies are going up. However, knowing Toll Brothers they like to be ambiguous about when they will start building if only to entice buyers into purchasing an unobstructed but ultimately obstructed view.
Live in Northside Piers 1 and I don’t know whether they’re pushing Northside 2 units or what have you, but there will be no TCO by middle of the summer. The inside of this thing is totally bare – i.e. no walls yet so I think a TCO is at least another year out and I’m being conservative.
How can you call them sleek with bits sticking out of them?
It is popular to hate these towers, but aesthetically I really like them. the design is very straight-forward and sleek. I suppose being next to the Edge with those punch-out windows and unappealing facade helps. Forte is pretty ugly, as is oro. The Toren is one of the best looking buildings I have ever seen. But overall, I think these towers are great looking.
I heard the finishes in tower two are a bit nicer than the first tower.
In their sales office, they have a plastic model rendering of a third tower that will be built southwest of tower 2, and directly west of tower 1. I guess market conditions will determine whether that 3rd tower ever gets built, but it looks like it will have a big impact on light and views for a number of units in the other towers. I don’t have an interest in these buildings, just an observation.
