I saw that in print yesterday, and I was going to post it myself, but they (The Real Deal) didn't have the latest volume online! Good looks! -
This was an interesting bit of the article:
"....Still, much of the land was snapped up by real estate professionals about a year and a half ago, though there are some landowners looking for developer consultants to help them develop, he said. "It's kind of the second generation of land sales," Brody said. "Either people are going to try to flip them, or it's already to the end-user, the developer."
So has anyone seen a list of the parcels of land that remain available for development? -
BTW, this was a perplexing nonsequitur in the article that's also pretty loaded, right at the top:
"Once a highly diverse slice of Brooklyn, the neighborhood has seen a hodgepodge of development styles."
Anyone want to venture a translation?
My take: Over the next couple of years a lot of prosperous people will move into PH, but for all the money that they'll spend, they won't be getting charming Park Slope streetscapes. -
well, what it seems like is that you'll get a lot of incongruous structures placed next to each other..
ie brownstones on one block, auto body shops on the next, then a modern structure like the washington, or a converted hospital-cum-loft-rentals, etc.
as long as you are realistic about it and not expecting 120 year old elm trees providing you with natural shade and slate sidewalks buckled by the
trees, then you shall be just fine. -

I feel the exact opposite: not enough!
Theres something going on around the corner from the Jewish Hospital on St Marks between Classon and Franklin; I think its the same developers who did the hospital.
Its apparent theres a ton of housing being put in place... now when do the store, bars and restaurants come??
Anyone know anything about when that building on St. Marks will be finished? -

Did anyone see this on Curbed.com?
Great listing of current projects planned for the area (although I guess not a full list). At least I now know what is going in across from me. I also find it interesting that such a small portion of this is rentals. I Guess rentals are a thing of the past.

I was walking by the old laundromat on Underhill and St. Johns a while ago and started talking to the owner about what he was doing with the building. He said that they are planning to convert it into a 10 story, all glass, condo building.

that sounds like the stupidest idea ever.
every time I walk by that washington condo building at dean and washington I notice that they've just installed new windows and the windows are smashed again. I don't think a glass building would last very long on 'crazy lane' -

I'm looking at Dave. I hear hes crazy. -
Subject: smashed windows
do you think neighbor-hoodies are breaking those windows, or they're from general construction causes? -

Actually they hoist stuff up there everyday - if you walk by there between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. they have a police car that sits there and controls traffic while they hoist - I have heard glass breaking around that time so maybe blame it on the hoisters. The people working on the place are real nice and they have someone who patrols it at night. -
do they really have someone who patrols the perimeter at night? wow. that's nice to know.

Did anyone notice the boundries of PH in the real deal article? They put the border at Bedford Ave. It just keeps growing and growing and growing...
-
Guest was me above (laundromat comment) .. sorry about that. Anyway no, I wasn't kidding. I was secretly hoping for a bookstore or coffee place, or something like that. It's such a great space, and we are seriously lacking on Underhill. Maybe a daycare? I don't know, but I was bummed when he told me. Maybe he was kidding. :?

Today's Curbed has a piece from Setspeed with a map showing all the developments going up in the neighborhood.

two new brownstone in scale buildings going up between dean and pacific on carlton. saw plans for the one on dean and it's beautiful, modernistic but looks like it will blend in and make the street more upscale.

Subject: clinton ave
there's also what i believe is a 6 story condo going up on clinton ave bet fulton and atlantic, if they get their permits straight. -

Any pictures of these places online? I've looked myself but haven't been able to find anything. I'm very curious. -

You're kidding, right? :?
No, I'm afraid not. My son saw the blueprints. :shock:
The footprint will be expanded somewhat, encroaching on the sidewalk :!: -
Me above.

May I ask why you wrote encroaching instead of making the sidewalk less wider?
Why are you guys (Those who have issues with new development) defensive about all this development. I'm pretty sure that the city of NY have gone over the design of this new development have given it their blessing. If it takes up too much of that unused sidewalk, then maybe you should try using an alternate route.
You're posts, such as:You're kidding and I'm afraid not are sending negative connotations throughout this neighborhood.
If you guys want to protest some issues, stick with bicycle lanes and subway ridership incentives.
Or maybe this is all master-minded by Ratner (He always seems to be the center of every DH subject).
Soon you'll think that the late Lucille Ball's teeth chattering-Japanese espionage story was true -

Okay...I'll bite. So Guest, I wrote "you're kidding" because I live down the block from the place in question and I find it a bit hard to believe that someone would convert (or rather, just demolish) a 2-floor building to put a 10-story glass condo building in its place. I think it's a little random. And what would you know about my writing of "you're kidding" sending "negative connotations" through the neighborhood? Have you done a street poll? Was there some sort of survey in the mail that I missed? I think if you actually asked anyone they might be more inclined to say "you're kidding" too because that proposed project just does not compute.

Well I just don't get why it doesn't compute?
I'm sorry that I missed that fascist letter in the mail that says we have to build by the laws of the unqualified (Such as yourself).
WTF, look across the river. That borough has been doing well with the integration of both large and small scale edifice.
It seems that everyone is talking crap and it manifested via Ratners Gehryville.
I welcome any development, as long as it doesn't affect our laws and constitutional rights.
When a neighborhood is developed, the results affect everyone. The 77th precinct will have to, inevitably, patrol PH more often than their lazy asses have done in the past.
Again, the suburbs welcome anti-urbanists small scale romanticists (Such as yourself) -

Well, Guest, I wouldn't know anything about the suburbs being a born and bred Brooklynite, so I might have to take your word for it that it is some sort of utopia I should consider. Wanna pay for my relocation while you're doling out the advice? And my point was that there was no letter in the mail, so I was curious about how you were so sure of how people being concerned about out of control development was causing a backlash amongst local folks. And speaking of Manhattan, I frankly don't give a fuck about what they're doing across the river because I don't live there for a reason. If I wanted my view to be like this:

,
then I would've scraped my money together and been across the river already. I have no problems with developments in scale or even on a main thoroughfare, but yes, I will be pissed when something will be looming down on where I live in the middle of a residential street.
Howdy, Stranger!
