Verdi's Sales Like Its Architecture: Ugly
The Verdi, a 14-unit development at 80 Adelphi Street in Fort Greene, definitely falls into the “What Were They Thinking?” category. When we scratched our head over this place back in September, two units were allegedly in contract. Now, four months later, there are just three. Is this over-the-top eyesore bound for the rental pool?…

I smell a contest brewing — c’mon Bstoner!
Wow. See what can be built next to your house when your neighborhood isn’t landmarked?
Glad I don’t have to walk past this thing to get to the train.
“They really needed to recess the balconies into the building envelope to make this work.”
Had the same thought, minus the “make this work” part. This patient requires more surgery.
Charlie Brown’s christmas tree?…lol. Now that’s fugh up.
Sweet fancy moses! That thing is ugly..
My thoughts when I look at this building is…It may be a great design sitting in the wrong place. If this building were sitting somewhere near all the new high tech development taking shape around BAM than maybe it would have a better shot. But on this street it looks like Charlie Brown’s christmas tree.
If this design weren’t so tragic it would be f-in hilarious.
It’s so South Florida circa early 1990’s. Has this architect even worked since the 80’s & 90’s or is this his comeback and he’s stuck in a timewarp from his heyday? I can’t even imagine what this architect was thinking. If they could at least remove the round things it would be better. And what’s that tacky rickety wood lattice structure attached to the front of the building?
11:54 — I nominate 370 12th Street, the hulking stucco moth, as well as its single-winged sibling a few blocks further south. But this one is up there, too.
It’s ugly but intersting or at least memorable. “I live in the Martian building”
I have said it before, ugly sells. Whether its cars, clothes, or art.
