These days it’s hard to find new construction that isn’t tainted by the evil wizard wand of “condo doucheplex,” especially in Dumbo. BUT, I stumbled on this snazzy industrial renovation out there and thought, “Hey! Not bad!”
Show me your weirding way:
- From the Front Street side the sky appears bluer.
- Rendering of the lobby. That guy on the right will greet you each day while walking full stride at you, the wind fluttering through his coattails, his collar rising higher ever so slightly as he barrels toward you.
Studios ($3333-3490)
- When I bezerked in here a while ago when it was still a construction zone, I didn’t wantonly barge into any of the studios at the time so all I have are these floor plans. This is the first type of configuration. 633 sq/ft at $3333/m seems halfway livable.
- Here’s the second type. 660-672 sq/ft for $3490/m. That’s 30-40 more square feet! Just imagine it!
- And here’s the third type. 837 sq/ft for $3490/m. Same price, thrice the spice (no idea what that means… just felt like sayin’ it).
Studios + Home Office ($3672-4323)
- Again, I flailed on finding any of these coveted studio+offices so you’re stuck with a line drawing. Deal with it. This is 704-734 sq/ft for $3672/m. Long, lean, lots of closets and room for three plants!
- This is type two, similar to the above but inverted. 786-805 sq/ft for $3958/m offers you room for two Lay-Z-Boys and a sofa.
- The last of the studio-hicans+office. This one seems like a one-bedroom to me but technically it’s not. 1065 sq/ft at $4323/m feels like 1br land, alas…
One-Bedrooms ($3854-4271)
- Now we’re getting into the meat! I did manage to snap a few shots of these guys AND you’ll get to see the difference between mine and some very glamorous shots from the developer. This bad boy is 672-673 sq/ft for $3854/m.
- I’m no architectural genius but I’m pretty sure this is a shot of the living area depicted graphically in the previous floor plan drawing. Mind you, the sofa in the drawing is replaced by a sectional in the photo.
- Reminding you again that I’m not a genius, it seems evident that this is the kitchen of that 1br we’re speaking of. Menu chalkboards optional.
- Heheh.
- All the bathrooms in the building, as far as I’ve seen, look (or will look) like this. Nize.
- I kinda think my photos are more fun, no? Like the aftermath of a nuclear winter or something… but still nice.
- This is type B of the 1brs and I for sure know I saw these first hand. 723-801 sq/ft at $3880 is what we dealin’ with.
- Here’s the living room and there’s that column. Great for hanging weapons or displaying your collection of decorative plates from the US Presidency. Floors coming soon.
- Can’t say I don’t like the tall windows in the bedroom though I’d prefer a different shade of chartreuse for my across the street neighbor’s exterior.
- Oh man, KITCHEN RAMPAGE!!! Looks like the set of Prometheus.
- Type C has another 30-40 square feet than the other guy. 836-878 sq/ft for $4010 gets you a smidge more room for your flat screen.
- Wild guess as to whether this corresponds to the floor plan but if it does, now you can see what the bedroom/living space will look like with floors installed. Yay.
- Type D here. You’ve got a that little Time Bandits entrance hallway and considerably more square footage. Noting my non-architectural genius (and quite possibly a rare disorder giving me the inability to read floor plans too good), I think this unit has windows on either side somehow. 945-960 sq/ft at $4271/m is what it be.
One Bedroom + Home Office ($4453-5755)
- Here’s type A of these nifty numbers. 856 sq/ft for $4453/m gets you it.
- Feeling pretty confident that my Sherlock Holmsing of this building got me into the corresponding unit to the respective diagram. This be the living room and through that door be the bedroom.
- You may not have as much fun looking at photos of closets as I do taking them. Regardless, these are the ones in the bedroom.
- This bathroom is what it feels like when the tub and toilet switch places.
- Another angle on the living space peering into the kitchen behind the column and the home office with SKYLIGHT way down the end there.
- A closer look at the kitchen. Envision a fridge.
- The blue hue in this photo is from the natural twilight pouring in from the skylight above. There’s also a decent closet in here. Don’t mind that ladder, just don’t walk ‘neath it.
- GLORIA! I understand there are more of these ceiling light ports in the top floor units.
- Definitely did no get to see Type B first hand. 965-971 sq/ft for $4245/m gives you the option to beds in both the office and the bedroom but you’d have to enter through one of them. Zoinks.
- I vaguely remember seeing one of these Type C’s but opted out of taking photos due to its unsightly mid-construction appearance. 1072 sq/ft at $4070 keeps you sprawlin’ and ballin’.
- The mirror of its sister, Type C, Type D has the twin bathrooms and offers 1140 sq/ft for $4844/m. Double rad.
- Sort of just adding these on toward the end because I couldn’t rightly tell you which floor plans they correspond to. Almost certain it’s the living room of one of the one bedrooms.
- Same room, different angle, better light, and please don’t paint that wall.
- At last, we’re at the end (phew). This is the 2br “Jolt Cola” special: “All the sugar. Twice the caffeine.” 1245-1270 sq/ft for $5999/m and not one penny more!
Additional features may include:
- 14-foot ceilings
- Exterior brick walls
- Exposed original columns and beams
- Oversized 10-foot windows

If you’ve made it this far, it’s probably worth it for you to email me to set up a viewing.
Good night and thank you.
