A tipster sent us this article and rendering showing a luxury rental building planned for 410-416 Tompkins Avenue in Bed Stuy. The rendering has been circulating on private email lists and Facebook groups for days, and local residents and preservationists had few kind words for the design.
“I must say the cracked looking windows is weird,” said one.
The plans call for 35 units on four lots, currently home to three two-story buildings. It will be called Hancock Manor, said the story. Last year, developer Vasco Ventures paid $2,625,000 for the properties, according to public records.
The rendering is one of several to appear lately that has local preservationists and residents concerned that the booming pace of development may be threatening to change the character of the neighborhood, one of the largest areas of intact 19th century row houses in the country.
What do you think of the design?

which part offended you?
I totally agree MM. This building truly disrespects the neighborhood!
no need to give out an address, just look for the ugliest building on the block. in fact building address is Da Crack House, Ugliest building on the block, Tompkins Ave, brooklyn NY
Nothing wrong with tasteful modern which this is not. have lived all over Europe and this would not be considered tasteful anywhere. The architect of this 410 Tompkins must be this developer’s relative…
It’s a rental building, and will most likely fill up immediately. Why? Because the vast majority of renters don’t really care about the exterior.
Cuz I is articulate and non-confrontational. Also, nobody likes you. 😉

lol!: “it is just collage, one seemingly put together by a thirteen year old goth raver wannabe from Bulgaria” so accurate.
that was the funniest and spot on comment yet! thanks for the laugh. needed it after looking at this design. not going to sell out in months and will go for low price. these developers are ruining the hood that they are investing in. don’t the get that?
