Development Watch: 580 Carroll Street

In the five weeks since the Board of Standards and Appeals told the developers of the Enrique Norten-designed 580 Carroll Street that their application for a zoning variance had been denied, the major development has been progress in front of the Carroll side of the project. (The building also fronts Garfield Place.) Judging from the work that’s been done, it looks like the developers are moving ahead with their first design, which involves front gardens and wooden boardwalks, rather than appealing the BSA’s decision and trying to build three additional townhouses. Thus, the project is probably going to look like this, instead of like this.

the only thing that sucks about buildings like this are the type of people they attract as buyers. not really the kind of people i like living around. 🙁
*rob*
a bunch of people need to break into these sort of in development sites and throw parties! im surprised that this never seems to happen, especially with the totally stalled development sites. the big ass one 4th ave has a 24 hour security guard watching it tho :-/ but he looks dumb as a box of rocks so maybe it wouldnt even matter
*rob*
glad people are finally starting to say good things about this project. I think it looks great.
Funny, it’s actually the beachy feel and the greenery out front that I find surprisingly appealing.
I haven’t seen the actual building Pigeon, but I do love the rendering. I don’t mind different. Norten is extremely talented in my opinion and I like his work very much. I see nothing wrong with the beachy feel of this place and having that greenery out front like that would be spectacular in an urban city like ours.
If it turns out anything like the rendering I’d be very pleased with it.
I do think that this place will be very appealing to buyers…especially those from Manhattan who know the Norten name well and will be looking for something in PS a little different than the usual brownstone or crap condo on 4th Avenue.
Just my opinion. I love brownstones and will probably always want to live in one, but I also like this very much.
The pudding is in the floor plans. If these are one or two bedrooms with one exposure then it’s just meh.
be rude- it’s very clean looking. I’ll give you that. Maybe it will look better to me than it does in the rendering where it looks more like a windblown beach house.
But I have not seen the building in person.
Have you, 11217?
I’m with you, bxgrl – to me, the renderings look ugly and out of context.
