Brooklyn's Latest Project: 200 Riverside

[KenFSU]

Are they using nearby parcels for parking or was there a garage in the plans?

Adjacent 8-story, 450-ish spot garage, with rooftop gardens and dog park.

Nice! I was worried about the black SUV. Is there retail on the ground floor?? Sorry I feel like this would have been discussed already but I didnt see it and my internet isn't working properly right now.

Black SUV is probably already lined up for a spot in the garage

And yep!

12,500 SF of retail is the plan.

I hope the building is larger than the current fencing would indicate.

I am hoping it is just going to be used for the ground clearing operations.

This looks amazing.  Starting to look like real critical mass.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up but it look like a false alarm.  Just noticed the equipment being used to do a an exterior weather-proofing project at 220 is being stored inside the construction fencing.  Don't know why they would deliver a port-a-potty for a project that is only supposed to take a few weeks but that looks like what happened.

A few weeks is a long time to "hold it".

  Well, it isn't like they are on-site 24/7 without access to a bathroom.  We have 3 common-area bathrooms.

Ahh, I saw this photo earlier but couldnt tell if there was a parking garage in there. So there will be retail on the ground floor of the garage?

Here's another look from a different angle:



and the proposed ground floor plan:

Somewhere, in a remote location in Brooklyn, the owner of a black SUV is nodding his head and smiling.

It's an OSHA requirement and most building owners don't want dirty construction workers in and out of the restrooms in functioning facilities.

Thanks Lake/Ken,

So I guess the answer is no. But at least it is tucked away on a less conspicuous street?

[Kerry]

I guess it is an OSHA thing but all they are doing is re-caulking the windows and doors and they spent almost a month putting down new floors and no port-a -potty.

Yes, the garage would be located in the back of the site. No need to integrate retail into it at that location.
