‘The L Haus’ condos deliver some spring green to the Pulaski Bridge

good job

Cool! Great News.

that intersection is the worst. but you can get burgers at jackson ave. steakhouse on the way home.

How long before someone buys that Getty station and starts doing something with it? Jackson may rival the water front in number of new buildings soon.

The Getty gas station is for sale……no one’s bought it yet though it seems.

Supposedly they are asking $7.5 Million on the Getty station.

I’m taking bets on how long it takes for a death. The danger at this intersections is not a CB2 issue, this is a city planning issue. I know a student who did a study of this site for worst picked development site. That’s who you should contact. And got an A+. My husband wishes that the building would stay this color green, can’t say that I agree.

You can practice crossing by playing frogger

the developers of Hunter’s View have been trying to get the city to change the traffic pattern at that crossing to make it safer to cross. The bridge under the Pulaski is definitely the way to go and is well lit at night.

Is it even possible for a private developer to dictate traffic patterns? I thought these changes emerge from DOT’s neighborhood-wide impact studies. Any changes there would have a ripple effect on the bridge, tunnel approach, and other intersections.

A study concerning this crossing has been underway for quite sometime (before the buildings other than Hunters View were even under construction). The concern is not just for the buildings but for people exiting the bus when it comes over the Pulaski Bridge. It is truly a dangerous crossing for anyone who has to
to get to the other side of Jackson Ave.

i ride my bike under the polaski quite frequently. i think once those new building are finished the underpass will be plenty safe. there are always a lot of cops around too because the enterance to the tunnel is right there

Not with the tax abatement expiring in July. That should slow things down in LIC. Significantly.

I disagree #27. It’s not just about price/sf. It’s about developers’ incentives to continue building… on top of the loss of the abatement, any dev project around here has to go through a costly remediation…. there are other factors that could grind things to a halt around here. LIC owners have drank the koolaid and many are holding out for ridiculous asking prices….

On qualifying for a 421 Tax Abatement – does the development property just need to be purchased with some sort of preliminary plan submitted to the City or is there a higher bar?

If the qualifying threshold is that low, I think there will only be a lull in development in a couple of years. By that time LIC will most likely be on its way to being considered Midtown East.

here’s to the hope that the building will attract hot lesbian chicks watching the “L” Word in the screening room…..YES!

29 – don’t be so naive. The developers would have to ask lower prices if taxes weren’t abated. The developers benefit the most from tax abatements. However, abatements are good in that they incentivize developers to build new quality condos where it otherwise would not be financially sensible. The changes to 421-a are going to be a definite drag on development.

The prices should be lower because of the location.
