Speed Part I: Finger Building Flips Bird in Slow Motion

Brooklyns Slowest Building

We thought we’d take a look at two opposite ends of the construction speed spectrum on this summer Saturday (skipping the far, far, end, which is completely stalled buildings) and bring you the super fast and the super slow. Compared to the breakneck pace of construction of some projects, like Northside Piers, which you will be able to see in a post above, progress on Williamsburg’s Finger Building has been almost glacial. It’s hard to remember that the crane for the thing showed up two years ago this summer and that, two years later, it’s not exactly close to finished. Just worth noting.
