New Development: The Absolute Launching on Myrtle

The 35-unit development at 111 Steuben Street, hereafter to be known as The Absolute, is open for business. Or at least it will be soon. A large banner proclaims the condo’s new name and it now has a page on the TDG website. There are no prices listed yet, but we’ve got it on good authority that prices for the mix of one-, two- and three-bedrooms will range from about $380,000 to over $1 million. We think this is a pretty good looking building, especially for an area that’s seen its share of crap recently. How ’bout you?

It really isn’t good looking. It is green tinted glass and looks like a circa 70s library in the UK, or a state school, or the offices of Werhnam Hogg (The Office). If you don’t believe me:

depressing. Absolutely nothing like One Prospect Park which has the sheets of glass, not the glass squares fitted into a frame.
Ugly outlook from the windows as well! watch the crawl up myrtle each evening. And around there are the depressing rusty bird-caged windows favored by the Hasids.
Ugly ugly ugly.
I don’t like it! Looks totally out of place on this particular area of Myrtle Ave. You have the C-Town across the street and some odd old-ish strip mall type action happening on either side of Myrtle. When I fist saw it, I thought it was part of Pratt-U like the library building right across the street. They look like the same designers got their paws on them. Too much office building-like to be residential. Some concrete here and there would have warmed this up some.
Those $380,000 apartments will be worth $280,000 in three years. Oh wait, its on the G? Make that $240,000.
Pretty good looking building? Huh?

like the port authority garage
I think I found the rest of it: http://bstoner.wpengine.com/brownstoner/archives/2007/08/glass_construct.php
Come on now, if this was 10 stories taller it would look like so many of the residential fish-tanks that have proliferated over the last few years. Not that much worse than On Prospect Park, is it?
1:03, No Meies would be disgusted by this monstrosity. This is a really sad attempt @ the finite element styling of an office mini tower. Where is the elegance and creativity? Schizen!
Mr B, while I really dig your work I have to say you’ve got this one totally wrong. You didn’t like the Kodachrome bldg but think this pile of crap is good??
this looks like a cheap knock-off of a 1960’s SOM office building.
This is going to be residential?
They have lost their minds!
It looks like Port Authority offices.
