I believe they didn’t release any renderings because the awful design

Yeah I was/am quite surprised by the blandness of this one, seems more fitting for LIC since all their buildings are boring. Brooklyn definitely has the more “stand out” architecture in terms of differentiation and use of colors.

@TKDV @Alemel It’s beyond parochial.
In the Greek of the New Testament, the word paroikia means “temporary residence in a foreign land” and comes from the Greek word for “stranger”: paroikos .
Is it too late to send back to LIC?

I don’t understand this building at all. Of all the places to put a blank wall, you put it on the side facing the Manhattan skyline?! That’s the view everyone wants! (Trust me, I used to live very nearby, with that view, and cherished it every day!)
Don’t tell me they had no choice. They could have just set back from the property line a few feet on that side. Surely it would have been worth it to get so many apartments with spectacular panoramic views. I just don’t get it.

Not only that, but look at the placement of the rooftop pool and deck – on the other side from Manhattan? I understand the roof facility has windows facing that way, but you could have still seen the skyline from inside from across the roof deck. Are they anticipating a pencil tower on the two little lots they couldn’t acquire? Ha

So much diversity and then you look at LIC and it’s so blah, that’s why this one belongs in LIC. The concrete wall sticks out so much, so they better commit to putting those random stripes from the render on the north side (and I’m assuming the same motif will be on the south side as well)

Oh no, the blank wall looks even worse with the weird striated texture they put on it. They should’ve just put the panels they were showing on the render…

They stopped trying with this one a long time ago.
