Development Notebook: Going Up on N. 9 St. in Burg

January 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Despite all the abandoned construction sites around Williamsburg, there are still plenty of projects under construction from huge ones like the Edge on Kent Avenue, to small ones, like the one above, which is 196 N. 9 Street. It will be a four-story building with six units from Frank S. Smith Architects.

    Way too much overdevelopment over there, I used to work on North 9th and Driggs and I would walk around that neighborhood on my breaks and it was a nice quiet place with still family homes around, then I went over there for the first time in a couple of years and was saddened to see all that gone and now everywhere I could see I saw boarded up lots and a bunch of bored looking construction workers wondering around the place.
    And If all those places get bought or rented how are they going to fit all these people on that one train stop??
    I just don’t get it.
