170 North 5th Street Development Sells
170 North 5th Street first showed off its unique facade in September of 2009. Then, nothing. But a sale that popped up on ACRIS this month may mean the building is getting a reboot. A company listed as UA2 K&Q Acquisition bought the site for $8,672,393.09. After a little digging seems like the buyer is…

they look like the cheapo dollar store version of Lincoln Logs to me. williamsburg truly is trying to win the spot for the ugliest neighborhood in america, isnt it?

I like the outside of this bldg as well!

haha – there’s a new building down the block from here just west of Berry that got tagged – building did a bad job of washing it off and now it has a graffiti scar

I like the building, more so in person. Too bad they almost took down another building in the process (off frame to the left – it is now getting what looks to be a pretty ugly new facade).
i like it, it will look a lot better when it’s weathered in like a lot of newer buildings. totally clean looking buildings look akward in nyc.
