Development Watch: Preview of 639 6th Avenue

One thing not included in the promotional shot above: The bountiful views of the BQE.

Looks like some of the buildings in Setagaya, Tokyo
Eryximachus, who are you? scarano or locicero?
hey, i live in the hood – you can see great harbor views from the bridge on 6th avenue that crosses the Propspect Expy, so the top 3 apartments should have killer views.
Hopefully, a fireball will come down from the sky and incinerate all those disgusting wood framed houses in the south slope. The south slope should be twice the density of the north slope at minimum – and that will take some serious demolitin.
May the gods help us.
At that point I don’t think you’ll be able to see the harbor at all. The highway is pretty much at it’s highest point there and the docks are just beyond it. Not to mention the Home Depot. It’s possible the top floor will be able to see it but I’d be surprised. Definitely from the roof.
south slope is fringe in a very good way.

depending on your opinion, couldn’t south slope be considered fringe?
My first impression was the same: it looks European, I agree this reminds me of the fringe of Paris, Dublin, etc. We could argue wether or not this should have been built there, but at least it looks nice, nicer than most of what is built in Brooklyn these days. Not only the Fedders houses, but also most of the new “luxury” buildings in NYC are ugly, or boring at best. This city is 20 years behind Europe and most major cities in the world for current architecture. What a shame.
