Cold water blues at the Arris Lofts – Another dissatisfied customer.

It’s always great to learn from the mistakes of others. My Fiance and I will need to take all the necessary steps to ensure that our condo is properly inspected before we move in.

Agree with the post above. I don’t live in Arris, but if the above is true it must be hard enough living there without rumors and inuendo about blatent inaccuracies.

That last one was me.

hey people – first off, thanks for the positive feedback that’s embedded in these comments. Secondly, the “hooker” reference is a joke. It might not be to some, but to liQcity it is. If that’s not clear, then…

Thirdly, if you’re worried about future Arris buyers being detracted, then that hooker comment is the least of your worries. What’s more worrisome is the article that was linked to twice in the entry which refers to a severely disgruntled buyer. I’d love to hear in the comments from Arris dwellers, what’s going on in the building?? Are others having the same kind of problems as the person who wrote into curbed?

And lastly, how hot are the concierge staff & doormen? Are any of them single?

Naw, just trying to scare away the yuppies.

liQ sounds like a tool with a hidden agenda. i live at arris, if i had to do it all over again, today, i would still choose to buy there and that is the bottom line. didn’t buy for investment, that is out of my hands, if lic grows and other buildings demand a premium, so will arris, perhaps more so because it is so unique and so close to numerous transportation options. the curbed bs is just that…total bs…on both sides pro and con, just acting like children. one thing i would say, which we have all heard before in every new construction building, is that the execution should have been more timely. construction delays are par for the course in nyc, only to get worse. otherwise, my apts is awesome, the area has been great, it still amazes me how easy it is to get to manhattan and i’m discovering brooklyn more now with easy G train access. really quite cool!

so liQ – reveal where you live and what you do for a living and why bother doing a blog?

ahahaha – I came around to recognizing C-town but it’s still too far, and doesn’t feel worth the travel. The Garden is much more worth the energy, but hey – I admit to never visiting that C-town bc of previous experience with others. I’ve amended my institutionalized lament to Vernon/Jackson & QW so there.

Sticks and stones you know – I am who I am and that is my business – I’m just a ‘tool running a shitty and unknowledgeable blog’ so you know everything already. My identity is not that difficult to figure out… but clearly there are some crazies out there (and here) so I’m not handing you my picture and phone number.

Interesting to note that I found being called a hipster the most insulting of the insults. sheesh.

I’ve lived in the upland LIC community for 18 years. I have liked the Arris since it’s inception. I have not been inside so I can not be a judge on the interior, in any respect. Hookers used to be on my block, and they left condoms, I haven’t seen any over near Arris, so I am hesitant to believe the comments about hookers. There may be some trickle down from Queens plaza, but I digress. What I really want to comment on is that I would have moved there just for the train yard! And the open sky, and the respect for the original architecture. I still think it is a unique building…..but IF I was a resident I would be fighting to down zone around that area as quick as you can over there. Bloomberg has been pushing to put a stadium on the Sunny Side Yards for quite some time. I would truly cry if that happened. even though I’m 13 blocks away. Also with the arrival of the Japanese hotel……many will loose their piece of mind and views. As residents I would urge you to familiarize yourselves about what can be done around you in terms of development. And down zone to protect what you liked about moving there. As I fear it will not be anything close… to what you purchased if Bloomberg has his way. (it could happen without you even knowing, and don’t let any one from city government tell you otherwise.) You may convince yourself that it is good for your property value to encourage development, but when you can’t stand to live there, and realize you have been sold another bill of goods by city planning. It will feel worse than the feverish pitch of the worst of what can be called blogging. It would be nice if quality of life, and community were at the forefront in of development. Remember they eventually will do something with the Sunny side yards. Please protect your area and lobby now to prevent development on the Sunny Side Yards.
