NEW YORK | 462-490 Kent Avenue | FT | 18/24/29 FLOORS | 5 Towers
Some positive news on a derailed, pre-recession project. This was one of the three developments mentioned in the Dnainfo article. The others are 420-430 Kent Ave and 145 and 155 West St. (thread up for this one). ;) This project is on 462-490 Kent Avenue just to avoid confusion. :)

Nice. Looks pretty bulky. Could probably support an excess of 500 units (both towers). More towers like this the better to supply units to a much needed market.

Nice!

Love it! Although Williamsburg desperately needs better transportation / subway access. The L at Bedford at rush hour is already well over capacity.

I like this proposal. I just happened to walk by this site yesterday after I got off the East River Ferry at South Williamsburg, right at Schaffer Landing. I like how the infill is coming along in this area, which for too long has had too many empty and under-utilized lots. The under-construction Ostoon across the street from this proposal, along Kent, is looking good, as are other under-construction sites just east of this.
Obviously there is the yet-to-be-built giant domino complex to the immediate north of the Williamsburg bridge, but what I'm really curious about is what will eventually happen to surrounding area below the Williamsburg Bridge along South 5th and South 6th, This area has the potential to be a mini-dumbo. The bridge itself, along with the irregular-shaped blocks in the street grid created by the merging of streets as the southern grid of Williamsburg collides with the northern grid, give this area a lot of character. If the right architecture continues to be built in the trapazoid created by the river and and the BQE (on the west and east), and between S. 3rd and S. 9th (on the north and the south), this area under the Williamsburg bridge is going to be quite spectacular in another decade, and very unlike any other specific area of North Brooklyn. As for subway access, much improvement is needed, of course. But this development won't hugely impact L traffic. This is much closer the JMZ, which itself needs much improved service as this area, and the areas to the east toward Bushwick, get built out. |

Anyway, I'm know I'm getting off the specific topic of the 420-430 Kent proposal, but if Williamsburg and the rest of the Brooklyn waterfront is to reach its full potential, something like this will be needed. |
There's been some somewhat serious talk about a light rail line that would run from Red Hook up to Astoria along the East River waterfront. Nearly the entire stretch is booming with development and subways are sometimes 10 or more blocks inland.

Great use of the land. Long time coming, but they bounce back. Along the coast, Brooklyn, Queens, and even the Bronx waterfront, parcels are being bought for affordable housing. Keep an eye on certain parcels adjacent to Harlem on the East River. Two large scale parcels that will include 1000's of units and another, in the South Bronx, with the potential for 3k units.

That is really nice! It gives me high hopes that the Luv Gov will deliver something really nice for his Hudson Yards projects.

Bill de Blasio Official Calls Eliot Spitzer Housing Development ‘Offensive’
Ross Barkan 06/16/15 Quote:

A question of economics here. De Blasio's being selfish. Waterfront views should not be affordable, and the land is prime space. If he wants affordable housing, focus on increasing the projected goal, incentivize developers, continue to modify the zoning in the outer boroughs near transit lines, and they will make room for it.
