Squeezing In at 179 Monroe Street
On this fairly modest stretch of Monroe Street, a five-story Karl Fischer-designed building is rising, wedged in between a pair of vinyl-clad two-story houses. (Pictured above is the similar house that used to sit on this lot.) It’s hard to argue with the fact that the scale of the building looks pretty ridiculous (then again,…
On this fairly modest stretch of Monroe Street, a five-story Karl Fischer-designed building is rising, wedged in between a pair of vinyl-clad two-story houses. (Pictured above is the similar house that used to sit on this lot.) It’s hard to argue with the fact that the scale of the building looks pretty ridiculous (then again, the building to the far right is the same height, so maybe we should be saying the small houses look ridiculous!); on the other hand, we’re tempted to give kudos to any developer doing anything better than a Fedders special in this neighborhood. What think ye? GMAP P*Shark DOB
There only 3 units left in this amazing building. As construction nears an end people are getting a better sense of how nice the units are and what a great deal they’re getting! Please call me if you’d like to see the inside of this wonderful building. They’ll all be sold soon! 917-488-0422
Will the zoning show it is approvable?
My sympathy is to you anon 10:22 of how you think.
Mr.B showed us a photo of the old house that seems like a cow house and say it’s a shame?
I have sympathy for the person that grew up in this house, however once they sold the house it’s over.
Perhaps you should go travel a bit in the area and not in Dumbo therefore you’ll see the character of these neighborhoods.
This property would defiantly improve this block
My sympathy to the person who grew up in the original house. I can imagine how painful it must be to see your former home replaced by that atrocity. It is a shame that the character of so many Brooklyn neighborhoods is being ruined by these trashy building and money grubbing is at the bottom of it.
Shadow,
It’s interesting – It doesn’t look much as Scarano.
I live in Greenpoint and few blocks from my house at Meserole street there is a house by Fisher that seems very similar to this one.
I don’t see here Mezanine flors, and
I don’t see here Staco.
Lets get to the heart of the matter. That pesky audit REVOKE pending on the filing. Amazingly it is not even a Robert Scarano job. Although it looks like Mr Fisher has run out of ideas and has lifted Scaranos plan. How do you spell interlectural property?
I own a new 3 family Fedders (or rather Friedrich) house 3 doors down and I am happy about this project. The house it replaces was a dilapidated vinyl sided eyesore. I do wish the contractors put a little more thought into aesthetics of some of the new homes, but I’m still pleased when I see new contruction. We can’t save every old building. My Friedrich is relatively nice.
I don’t undrstand what’s the intent of this debate.
Any place here, you can see developments some nicer than other. Here we see a developer that decided to built a housing for specific target market. I assume that he blieves that there are enogh buyers who like his project. If he compile with the code and regulation why should we say what is wrong or right. I thought we live in a democracym you don’t like it don’t buy it. Personaly i think it’s a nice building. Look at the light that comes to the apartmentsn and who knows what’s the view from the top apartment.

These are not fedders holes –
This is P-teck hitting.
Go learn some design before you jump to conclusions.
