Development Watch: 120 South 8th Street
For some reason, we’d missed this tower going up at 120 South 8th Street in South Williamsburg until last weekend. Which is hard to believe, since it’s going to be a 66-unit, 20-story building. The developer purchased the site in 2005 for $6,850,000. So far, it looks relatively unoffensive. GMAP P*Shark DOB

Inoffensive?
And in such a charming location! I’m buying three!
Neglecting other costs, $6,850,000/66 units = $104K/unit on about a 30’x40′ footprint. What’s the construction cost per square foot on your typical condo project?

good thing not in Carroll Gardens. 55′ is too tall. there would be protest wall.
is that the best we can hope to achieve for our new buildings now? unoffensive?
I am pretty offended by this house.
BTW – because of the topography/geography of Williamsburg, this building is prominent from the Northside.
Unoffensive in a 16-stories-taller-than-anything-around-it sort of way?!
This was the site of an old and pretty messed up house that the 4 Boro Preservation group tried to have landmarked. I think the claim was that it was a Federal house, which it might have started out life as. You probably have a post on that somewhere in the archives.
any new project in this part of town that has right angles and no unnecessary faux-fancy adornments or puke-colored bricks qualifies as unoffensive in our book!
