This one goes well beyond my usual faint praise of “nice looking” and gets my highest grade for architectural excellence: this is a truly “artistic looking” building. I like that term because it gives a particular work of Architecture the same status as a work of ‘Art’ - and that is something special. The term sounds a bit silly or trite; but I do mean that as high praise. I want to make a pilgrimage out to Brooklyn to view it in person: but I am in lockdown.

11 Hoyt looks great in the sunlight…wonder how delayed closings will be given Covid construction impacts.

I wouldn’t imagine very long. It’s not as if construction on the superstructure was delayed as with other projects around the city. Looking at you, specifically, One Seaport.

David, welcome. Probably not too long assuming people have already put down their deposit etc. The tricky part of course will be punch list.

This building was substantially completed before the Covid19 shut down. I believe about half the building is already ‘in contract’ - so this project has not been too adversely affected by the pandemic.
I like the look of the interior build-out. I see concrete slab ceilings; with drop sheetrock soffits around the perimeter by some of the windows.
I see those curvy design features on the facade; have created on opportunity to do some nice deep window seats. This is a well designed project: inside and out.

What exactly my fetish (and millions of others too) for looking at, and the appreciation of, the ‘aesthetics’ of a new building is something I do not fully understand; but the likes, dislike and preference are surely ever-present.
The ‘look’ of this building, is exceptional - fine design in every sense of the word as it applies to Architectural Design. Why I find those wavy, protrusion and general color and texture so artful is anyones guess; but this IMHO is GREAT Architecture.
I assume all the functional aspects of the Architectural Design was well done too; as we all know Architectural Design is both form & function.
One ‘function’ I know is well designed into this building are the window seats that are formed as a feature of the interior apartments as a result of those wave forms on the exterior of the building.
The ‘Gangs’ alright in my book.

Is that Buttermilk Channel?

It looks like it is taken from in front of the central RR terminal at liberty state park so it is mostly Hudson River with Buttermilk to the right of the pic/out of frame.
I took a similar (but not as good) shot a few weeks ago from there
