A few points on One Hunters Point.
So this building on Borden Ave, One Hunters Point. Let’s just say I live near the construction site. According to the website and the hype etc, the condos seem like they’ll be the standard lux coming through LIC—perhaps even decently constructed. The developers had an extra obstacle to deal with while erecting the building: the Mid-town tunnel runs underneath part of the lot. They couldn’t build directly on the tunnel (someone’s thinking), but close enough that plans were scrutinized, and one can only hope this means intelligent engineers were actually hired. Of course, that has nothing to do with the interior finishings on the apartments.
I know they went around the block trying to buy everyone’s air rights…they definitely managed to get some since the building is 12/13 stories… and they got them at a steal if the $100/sf rumor is true.
