Brooklyn's Latest Project: 200 Riverside

fieldafm · March 22, 2018, 10:01:51 AM

On a project like the Shipyards, the type of remediation that is required will be largely dependent on the future use of the land. Open space, residential uses, midrise apartment buildings, high rise office towers, etc all require different forms of remediation. It wouldn't really make sense to move forward with remediation efforts until the future uses of the property are in place and you are ready to break ground (both metaphorically and physically).

Finally getting started. Port-a-potty delivered yesterday and construction fence going up now.

Nice!

BOOM.

Free ride is over for that black SUV that I see using the lot to park every day

This is exciting! I was wondering when it would start as I was driving through Brooklyn yesterday.

I'm excited to see what Brooklyn and Lavilla will look like in twenty years if multi-family housing construction continues.

Truly encouraging news but does this really mean construction on the apartments is imminent? Not a lot of buzz about this since permits were applied for. Any word on an actual start date? Will there be a leasing office opening soon? Really hope actual groundbreaking is starting soon but for all I know this could all just be to have port-a-potties for the convenience of drivers of black SUVs.

This really is exciting with the level of density this project has. Maybe if a hotel or something actually goes in behind the "Unity Plaza" there may be enough density to make the retail work there.

Wonder if they'll bring back the live construction cam.

I'll let everyone know as soon I see anything else happening - like dirt turning. The port-a-potty guy said he was scheduled to drop off a second one over the weekend. We got an email a few days ago telling us to remove our cars and trailer immediately.

Confirmed.

Kerry is the black SUV guy

I used to park my black SUV there a couple years ago. I assumed that's what that lot was for.

Sorry KenFSU, I'm not the black SUV guy, or the white trailer guy. LOL. I do live at 220 Riverside though.

Construction dumpster delivered this morning.

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

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