New Development: Fusion on 20th Street
We spotted this new development on 20th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue last weekend and didn’t have to even go online to know that it had Mr. S written all over it. The formerly empty lot, which the developer bought in late 2004 for $1.3 million, now has 10,000 square feet of residential space…
We spotted this new development on 20th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue last weekend and didn’t have to even go online to know that it had Mr. S written all over it. The formerly empty lot, which the developer bought in late 2004 for $1.3 million, now has 10,000 square feet of residential space on it spread over eight one- and two-bedroom apartments. Despite the banner on the exterior, the building has not hit the Corcoran site yet. We were able to deduce, however, that the agent handling the listing will be David Perez, who’s also the master of ceremonies over at The Simone. How’s the nabe feeling about this puppy? The block is rather, ahem, eclectic to start with, so we’re fine with the Scarano glass front; we just wish they’d stopped at four stories, as the building permit indicates. GMAP P*Shark DOB
FUSIoN = like when your old neighborhood Chinese restuarant starts serving sushi… because, hell they don’t even have to cook it, and they can charge double.
yes all the floors are double height.
We suspect that what appears to be two stories from the outside is really a double-height living room with mezz in the rear…
Realtor: “Real estate is always a great investment, 2006 was the third best year ever!”
Buyer: “What else could the first year of the downturn be just after the peak of the biggest bubble in house prices in the history of mankind?”
Realtor: “Huh?”
Buyer: “And 2007 will be the 9th best year ever, 2008 will be the 17th best year ever, 2009 will be the 41st best year ever…”
Realtor: “Look at me I’m cute!”

seems like the definition of story is a bit loose. but they had their foundation in before r6b, so anything goes i guess.
can’t wait for people to move in!
anyone have an idea of what the new building a couple of doors down is going to look like?
“we just wish they’d stopped at four stories, as the building permit indicates.”
Question: How can they build 7 stories up before the setback if the permit was for four stories?
What am I missing? Are those upper floors double-height single stories? Compare the rendering on the banner to the actual building!
Brooklyn needs more developments like this one. Many more.
Beautiful building! Beats a Fedders anyday of the week. The scale is fine, and best of all, it replaced a vacant lot! This really is the perfect development.
