Parking makes sense if car commuters are gonna start avoiding downtown. Park up here and take the train into Manhattan.

I always found DoBro or any of the proxy neighborhoods a nightmare to park if one is looking for street parking. Just finding a non-metered parking spot is very difficult. Queens a lot easier, but this section of Brooklyn is crazy. And when you do find a spot, there's always a damn fire hydrant, and the ticket Gestapo are always out, giving out those $125 parking tickets.

Yeah train all the way or even Uber. Just a massive headache if you drive in this area with your own vehicle.

Or just pay for parking, but its a ripoff.

When I use to see clients in the city, the company would always pay the parking tickets, because its the cost of doing business. So yeah, sometimes you were kinda forced to block the hydrant or park on the edge of a bus stop or the street cleaning side. I swear you only leave it for 10 minutes, and a nice orange envelope is waiting. Sometimes you'd get lucky, but them ticket maids are always out and about. Even in Queens, near some single family homes, they just pop out of the woodwork.

Chicago is literally all parking garages. Every single building is either a multistorey parking garage or has a parking podium in its base. It's almost comical how many parking lots there are compared to NY.

I don't think NY even has a single building with a parking podium at its base. Maybe that ugly ass Hilton in midtown? Huge windowless bunker of a base.

A different perspective. From the BQE. Very dominating.

Night view of 85 Jay. 6-2-2020. Can really get an appreciation for a block sized development.

Front & York Tops Out At 85 Jay Street In DUMBO, Brooklyn



Quote:
Construction has topped out on Morris Adjmi Architects’ Front & York, a 1.1-million-square-foot residential project at 85 Jay Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Developed by CIM Group and LIVWRK, the 21-story structure spans a full block and will yield 728 apartments with prices starting around $950,000.

Recent photos show the two residential towers completely formed. Meanwhile, installation of the brick masonry curtain wall and grid of industrial-style windows is progressing on the podium. White-colored panels vertically divide the fenestration, breaking up the monotony of the envelope and offering a nice contrast with the dark-colored bricks. Most of the podium is already covered, while the final assembly and settling of the concrete floor slabs and columns around the crown and roof parapets of each tower are nearing completion. Work has yet to begin on the large ground-floor arches, a key aspect of the architectural design.

Sales for the residential units launched last September. Home are available in one- to four-bedroom layouts and come with 10-foot-tall ceilings, Gaggenau appliances, Caldia marble countertops, backsplashes made with natural stone sourced from Marmi e Graniti d’Italia, and satin nickel Waterworks fittings. Master bathrooms have Bianco Bello marble stone tile walls, radiant-heated gray river stone bathroom floors, and custom Morris Adjmi Architects- and Waterworks-designed fixtures.

Amenities are set to span a whopping 150,000 square feet and include one of the city’s largest private parks designed by Michael Van Valkenburg Associates, a roof deck with a swimming pool, a Life Time facility with a full-size basketball court and fitness studios, and a full-service salon. There will also be a private chef’s kitchen, a cafe and coffee lounge, a library, a children’s playroom, a teenagers’ lounge, a game room, and a screening room. Rounding out the offerings are a full-time doorman and 24/7 concierge service, private underground parking spaces, a porte-cochere and driveway, a mailroom, a laundry room, and basement storage.

Front & York is expected to be fully completed sometime in mid-2021.
