Forte is fine, The city needs more rentals, so I welcome it.
We own a house in Brooklyn and love Brooklyn, but strictly with an eye on investment, I believe Jersey City is a good place to strongly considering buying in. If JC weren’t already higher priced than we could afford for a house, that’s where I’d put my money next. The huge corporate office buildings being built there mean great amenities coming, because they will have to service and feed those who work in those buildings as they can’t hop over to the next neighborhood to eat, like offices in parts of Manhattan can do. It also has an interesting vibe and aesthetic, JC does. Part industrial warehouses, part townhouses, and part skyscrapers now too. All this is IMO of course, and I’m just sharing that opinion.
tilsit havarti anyone?
All new buildings suck. Landmark everything. I love vacant lots. Buck Fush. Free Mumia.
I am a pompous ass!
the forte looks just fine. Why all the hate? What buildings do you guys like anyway? Non-stop idiotic criticism of buildings that are far from ugly. You guys really need to find some joy in life, LOL
You guys are jealous becuase we have high lucrative buildings in Ft Greene. If peeps want to live there, why not. maybe they made lots of money in Wall St. My buddy makes lots of money as a lawyer. I like it, it’s classy, modern, great vues. Big deal, brownstones are too old. He advised me to buy a Forte apartment, the broker said flip it to make more $$$.
Jersey City has $3 million brownstones–check this one out:

Actually, Jersey City has plenty of historic architecture from the same era as Brooklyn. Obviously that last post was from some moron who must have lived near the Mall. Brooklyn has a storied history of being a bigger dump than jersey city in many ways. And I should know, I’m from here. But all you sucka’s think you’re moving to paradise don’t even have a grasp on the pollution that makes our city so desperate for any new construction to make us forget about the past. Corcoran has you and your childs lead level’s fooled by the thousands.
