New Development: 195 Humboldt Street
At 195 Humboldt Street, the signature mix of glass, metal and mezzanines screams “Scarano” and, sure ‘nuf, it is. This East Williamsburg development is relatively small, weighing in at four stories and about 14,500 square feet. Given the ceiling heights you can bet there are some sizeable sleeping lofts at the rear of these apartments….

Given the ceiling heights you can bet there are some sizeable sleeping lofts at the rear of these apartments. As far as we can tell, there have been no Stop Work Orders or other buildings violations to date, so maybe the relative remoteness of this one has allowed it to elude detection. Or maybe the mezzanines are actually on the up-and-up. On a related note, the photog who posted this shot on Flickr notes that it is next door to a youth hostel, but our cursory Google search yielded no info. What’s the deal?

yeah, i agree with the other poster.
14,500 sq ft seems a little big, can that be right? must be a typo
it looks like an ordinary 25 foot wide lot ( according to propertyshark it is a 25x 100 foot lot)
scarano will always = evil
And PS., word on the street (for a while now) is that Developers Group dumped Mr. S a while ago. Who’s gonna be the next rising star?
Or falling? Guess that depends on your prof. cert. status, no?
We all keep calling them “windows…”
It’s GLASS. The majority of this facade (if like the one in our ‘nabe) is a curtain wall of glass, so no “windows” just more HVAC…who needs breezes and outside air when we have iconoclastic luxury condos.
3…2…1…BLAST OFF!
(and, my 2 cents, more rocks thrown the better)
Being an old time Brooklynite all those front facing windows make me very nervous. We have replace more than one window that was broken by some rock throwing punk. I wouldn’t feel very safe, particularly on a rough block.

These are great but the ones around the corner that already has a c/o is my first choice in littly Italy Williamsburg.

I HAVE SEEN THE OTHER PROPERTIES, the duplexes have loft spaces that are only 5’9″ high, with staircases that are othing more than fancy ladders. They count this space and the landing of a third floor access to the roof as living space and as a “triplex.”
Dumbest use of space by far, they could have made kitchen ceiling 8 feet instead of 11 or so to make room in “loft area.”
so what happens if I want to put up my favorite purple curtains cause I like walk around my pad in the nude?
