Development Watch: 305 McGuinness Boulevard
There’s a Karl Fischer project going up at 305 McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint. The 40,000-square-foot residential development will have 38 units and 22 parking spaces. The design is remarkably unsplashy for Mr. Fischer. With the brick and the relatively modest heights, we dare say it looks almost contextual at this point. Once those big windows…

The design is remarkably unsplashy for Mr. Fischer. With the brick and the relatively modest heights, we dare say it looks almost contextual at this point. Once those big windows are in there, it may do a decent job of echoing some of the industrial loft buildings in the nabe. What do you think the appetite for this location will be? GMAP P*Shark DOB
The developers are lucky to have a steady stream of idiots willing to shell out big bucks to live in these eyesores.
I didn’t know you could stack shit that high!
Um, this is hardly news.
At least to those of us who live here and know how big of an armpit this stretch of road is. Whoever would buy a condo in this building needs to get his/her head examined.
Also— this is *NOT* the only “new” Karl Fischer building going up. There is another one and it is far worse (and by “worse” I mean uglier and more out of context) than this one.

no it will not be a temple (re 1:35).. still residential… units should be starting 650K range last i heard… my condolences to anyone purchasing in that hell hole.. i can point out 101 deficiencies from the outside… and if you saw the rough…
Good luck selling high end, or even medium end on McGuiness Blvd. It’s loud, dirty and the ground underneath you shakes when the big trucks go by in the morning.
2:53 – jeez Louise, right something useful/
1. This isn’t journalism – it is a blog.
2. Better if he never wrote about it?
3. Can you direct us to another similar site (maybe one that you run) so we can compare?
You don’t get out, much, from your hood Mr. B. This POS eyesore has been in this state for well over 2 years.
Nice to know that you’re out there conducting your due dilligence as a journalist
wow, Condos on McGuniness Blvd. (one of the ugliest streets around) if you told me this 10 years ago I would never believe it.
I can’t believe anyone would actually ever PAY to live on Mcguinness. I don’t think I could even hack living there for free. It’s got to be just about the grossest stretch of road in nothern brooklyn.
While it would certainly be nice if it developed into a strollable boulevard of sorts as mentioned above, I highly doubt any amount of development will make it so. It seems destined to be little more than a thoroughfare, and I fear the majority of development that is likely to happen there is going to be car-centric, not unlike fourth avenue down south.
