Our ideal ’hood
Construction junction
9. Two Northside Piers
Kent Ave between North 4th and 5th Sts, Williamsburg, BrooklynExpected: Early 2010
Current site
What it brings to the neighborhood: Besides providing more housing for the well-heeled, the 30-story condo with 270 apartments will include a public pier, set to open this fall, that will let even the less affluent enjoy a view of Manhattan. This is the second building in Northside Piers, the first residential development in the former warehouse district on Williamsburg’s waterfront.
What it takes away: Many current Williamsburg residents say the rise of towers like this one along the river is obscuring their view of Manhattan. They also worry that the influx of condo dwellers will mean fewer seats on the already-crowded L train.

The Rockaways is experiencing a major redevelopment and for N.Y standard, is very cheap to rent and buy.
How are they even allowed to represent projects like the way this is depicted? The looming fake illustration makes the building look like it's in the middle of some suburban corporate campus, not the insanely dense and cluttered Queensboro Plaza area. That rooftop deck will seem cozy with the clatter and squeal of the #7 train 50 feet away. More absurdly placed, cheaply built habitats for Bloomberg's lemmings. I hope the building offers a permanent supply of Kool-Aid in its lobby Sub-Zero.
No mention of Atlantic Yards?! Really?!
