220 Riverside Coming To Brooklyn

[comncense]

So these would be rental residences? IF this happens to get built, I'd really consider moving from my place Downtown. I just hope they don't price it at a ridiculously crazy price point. i.e. The Strand.

I don't think this is meant to be a "cheap" building....I'd bet that these will rent for $1-$1.50 per square foot....which means that a 1 bdr might rent for as little as $750 and a 2bdr for as much as $1200...I'm sure the view will play a role in that.

what's a crazy price point for you?

A crazy price point for me is like $1,300 for a studio. I pay a little more that for a 1 bdr downtown right now and paid about the same on a mortgage on a new house before I moved Downtown.

I haven't been on in a few days and I see this AND the "Flager Line" (great name) on the front page... The best news so far this year! I'm super excited for both projects. I hope more projects start to come back to life.

The architects appear to be Studio9...

I'm sure glad that THIS:

Then turned into THIS:


Then turned into THIS, much better use of the property density given the water feature asset, and most should get river views instead of being a parking lot:

The first rendering was the old Brooklyn Park proposal next door. That site will probably become a mixed use office development .

What is the parcel across Magnolia Street?  It looks to be part of the design.

x2?

[thelakelander]

Not for sure but it looks like retail bays.

For this to take off there's going to have to be a lot of (noisy) stuff going on at street level.

What's the deal with the address change? The project was originally 200 Riverside, now 220 Riverside but in the same location.

[thelakelander]

Looking at the site plan it appears that this project doesn't include the entire site.  The 200 block appears to be the portion that will remain undeveloped initially.

[jcjohnpaint]

probably a better chance of the project getting done this way

And stay tuned for some other major Riverside Ave/Brooklyn news $$$...

I saw that. I'm cautiously optimistic about this.

Very cautiously optimistic, here. This is a golden opportunity. Let's not mess this one up. Key: making the ground level stores high volume.

you mean like big-city developers (from Miami for example) looking at the old Brooklyn Park site?

It's too bad they aren't building condos at this site. A friend of mine just moved here and she's been looking for a condo in the Riverside/Avondale area and there are surprisingly few choices if you want any kind of view, affordability or construction after 1990. Hopefully the next phase will include a tower of condos.
