Market Slump? Not At The Mill Building
If the Brooklyn market is heading into a slump, one buyer at Williamsburg’s Mill Building didn’t get the memo.

If the Brooklyn market is heading into a slump, one buyer at Williamsburg’s Mill Building didn’t get the memo. Earlier this month, someone stepped up to the plate to pay a cool $2 million for a 2,173-square-foot unit on the sixth floor of the building at 85 North 3rd Street. (The apartment does have a terrace too.) The sponsor had held this unit as well as a smaller one next to it (#606) until a couple of weeks ago. Both were snapped up at asking price in a matter of days. This happens to be one of our favorite condo buildings in Williamsburg, so we’re sure it’s a sweet pad, but $920 a foot? Yowza. How’s that common roof deck coming along, anyway?

Maybe you should be secure enough with your decision to live in Williamsburg not to have to stick up for it with such fervor.
No one deserves to be beaten and I don’t really find your “kick me” comment amusing.
With all due respect even if that were true, I doubt that there is a rash of UNREPORTED beatings. The ratio of reported crime to unreported is a pretty constant thing, so I highly doubt that there is some epidemic that is going unreported.
Maybe you should stop taping signs to your buddy’s back that says “Kick Me”.
A lot of these beatings go unreported to police.
My friend was jumped not long ago outside the Lorimer stop and he didn’t report it.
1:35 – I’m pretty sure all those people who got the unprovoked random beatings deserved them, like you.
Funny, you must know something the NYPD does not.

Crime is down significantly in every category save one and robberes are up 4.8%, but in absolute numbers that is exactly 14, year to date.
Sorry, but you are completely wrong.
I’ve heard that also, 1:35.
Literally all my Williamsburg friends have moved to Bushwick, Prospect Heights, Gowanus/Park Dope or Clinton Hill.
And planting young sapling trees is not the same as living in a neighborhood with thousands of 100 year old mature trees.
It’s the difference between buying a brand new home in a new subdivision in suburbia or buying something in one of the more established areas.
It’s a matter of choice, but I much prefer the latter.
I live in Williamsburg. I’m young and a writer. The place is too expensive, too ugly, and all the new amenities basically appeal to the people who can afford million dollar condos. It’s either ghetto crap or rich people chow.
Crime is on the rise… the kids from the south side and eastward into Bushwick are getting really aggressive. Beatings and muggings are surging. Who the hell wants to be here, especially at these prices?
Tons of people I know are leaving. It’s not worth it anymore. Of course, tons of rich people are moving in, so the imbalance will probably only be greater. I hope they realize it’s slowly getting less and less safe to walk around at night, even around precious West of BQE Bedford Ave. I’m talking random, unprovoked beatings unsafe, the kind you don’t get in Manhattan.
I never understood the appeal of Williamsburg. That place is ugly!

But that is one of the things that is easy to change.
I am moving into the Mill Building.
Either petitioning the City to plant trees or putting them in planters in not a big deal.
I think that with all of the development going on, all of the new owners/residents will push to beautify their blocks.
They would have to be crazy not to.
