The Spencer

Each unit comes complete with private outdoor space, a garden, balcony, terrace or private roof deck. All residences will also have use of the common roof deck with panoramic NYC skyline views.

Oversized windows

Outdoor space for every unit
Common roof deck with amazing NYC skyline views

Wide plank hardwood floors

Exposed brick
Stainless steal appliances

Hmm?

Looks a bit blah, if you ask.

Oh, I didn't know that's what he meant.

Yeah I dunno, maybe it's different in person, I'll find out one day.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited about the "stainless steal appliances..."

Thats a very real possibility. 180 Montague also looked pretty crappy in its renderings:

Following its completion however it became one of the better buildings on the Brooklyn skyline.

Maybe they're partnered with an alarm company?

It's not too bad in person. Contextual, I guess.

[Gulcrapek]

The Spencer isn't too bad in person either.

It looks like all the other new retro garbage in Williamsburg. While walking, I swear I was passing by the same construction sites over and over.

These are one of the few that actually look interesting. Many of the others have these hideous balconies, low-budget brick, and that hulking box look.
