Development Watch: W'burg Double-Shot
The building on the left (aka the Muse Condos), located at the intersection of Woodpoint Road and Kingsland Avenue, is signature Scarano. We’re not sure if this prop was part of mezzanine-gate or not, but it’s jam-packed with the square-foot enhancing structures.

The building on the left (aka the Muse Condos), located at the intersection of Woodpoint Road and Kingsland Avenue, is signature Scarano. We’re not sure if this prop was part of mezzanine-gate or not, but it’s jam-packed with the square-foot enhancing structures. To quote the man himself: “At only four stories high, the three double-height stories fill the volumne of the 60′ high building envelope, allowing for dramatic loft-like interiors with floor-to-ceiling glass.” Interestingly, the Scarano Architects website puts the completion date at October 2005 but the front door wasn’t even finished when we passed by last weekend. The building on the right, at 226 Richardson, is a recently-completed 10-unit condo building. Priced at around $500 a foot, six of the units are already sold; the remaining units are all on lower floors. It’s gotta be Scarano but we can’t find it on his website. DOB records show that the architect is Gene Kaufman Architects.
Update: Wow. They’re asking $600 a foot at the Woodpoint Road building! Guess it’s the high ceilings.

does anyone know anything about The MUSE condos? When they will be done? Any info would be helpful.
I think it is nice to create higher spaces where there is a limit on the building height that can’t be used in the number of stories. These higher ceilings mean more space and less crowding. right? and people are buying these places, right? so can someone explain what all the negativity is about? what did i miss?
The Woodpoint building is all well and good if you want to pay over half a million to live right next to the projects.
Wake up. It was always the high ceilings
I went to the Grand Opening Party last week of this building on the left and there had to be at least 40 people there when I arrived. I’m going back this Sunday for a second look. The interior design is awesome and the finshes are not “Graham Ave” type. Very cool building!
That Chinese restaurant is disgusting. It stinks to high heaven — like they’ve been using the same frying oil forever. My friends used to live in the back house two doors down and I’d plug my nose everytime I’d round that corner. Nasty but nice building . . .
heh! I drive by that first building quite a bit. And I always have to laugh because just in/out of frame on the left is the skankiest, most bustassed looking Chinese restaurant ever.
Agree, Janelle, that Luxe looks nicely done.
Nice
