Development Watch: 277 Gold Street
The Lalezarian family’s ambitious rental project takes up almost the entire block of Gold Street between Tillary and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. We say almost because there was a self-storage owner who refused to part with a building in the middle of the block. We checked in on the Concord side of the project…
The Lalezarian family’s ambitious rental project takes up almost the entire block of Gold Street between Tillary and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. We say almost because there was a self-storage owner who refused to part with a building in the middle of the block. We checked in on the Concord side of the project a month ago when it had yet to top out; the Tillary segment, however, is much further along. In fact, when we biked past this weekend, it was completely glassed up save for a few windows on the top couple of floors. Wonder when these are going to hit the market.

I’ve walked through there a million times. Don’t see the big deal. Walk with some confidence and you’ll be fine.
You are a girly man then, BO?
the projects on Gold make Faragut look like canyon ranch. I dont know the name of the project but dont try to walk through it on Gold
Christopher: I have a feeling they won’t be charging 1BBP prices at this location. At least I hope not.
Which projects? Faragut?
As much as I love Brooklyn, the quality of life downtown and parts of BH/CH/FG can still be seriously affected by crimes such as muggings and burgulary. Or at least that’s the way people perceive it. My litmus test for a neighborhood is whether I would feel comfortably having my most petite female friend walk from the nearest train station after dark.
How do you define ‘one of the worst projects in Brooklyn’, brickoven? I have lived around the corner from Farragut Houses for 5 years and never had a problem. I believe there are other neighborhoods in Brooklyn, East NY, and Brownsville for example who have a worse reputation for problems with projects than the Farrgut Houses, next to DUMBO and Vinegar Hill.
Its 4 blocks away Einstein with the projects in the middle of the two.
While 1 Brooklyn Bridge Park may be just as close to the BQE (they have started to rent some of the unsold units) as this one, I don’t see a big upside to that corner. At least 1BBP has the water and the views. These have a crazy intersection, the highway, and a hike to a decent subway (F at York is the closest).
It’ll be interesting to see how it does…
99 Gold is a half a mile away from here. It’s in Vinegar Hill.
This is firmly in Downtown.
2 blocks from one of the worst projects in Brooklyn. I looked at a place in 99 Gold when it first opened and this area was bad.
