Alloy Development’s concrete-clad townhouses at 55-57 Pearl Street in Dumbo are almost finished and looking good. The five modern townhouses have been in the works for nearly a year, and they hit the market with renderings for $4,100,000 a pop back when the corner site was just a garage. Now they’re all sold out, according to the development’s website.
The five-story homes share a facade made of one-foot-deep concrete ductal fins. The ground floor facade will be wood, but it hasn’t been installed yet. Each house will have four bedrooms, three baths, a one-car garage and private outdoor space.

I work in Dumbo and have been watching these go up. I can’t understand of why anybody would design or buy a home that looks like a 1970s Brutalist government office or a data center. One floor is basically all glass with concrete ribs. The others have itty bitty arrow slit windows and ribbed slab facades. Simply ghastly..
I find that if you are going to cast aspersions, you should at least be able to spell them.
It’s not gutsy since it is simply a 70’s retread. No new ground is being broken here. It’s a good home for the photophobic I guess.
