    The Spencer
    201 Spencer St Brooklyn, NY 11205
    The Spencer is one of the first new residential buildings in the historically designated area of Clinton Hill, and is a benchmark in excellence for all that will follow. The dramatic pre-war façade invites you into luxuriously appointed loft-like one-bedroom and duplex units where construction and amenities are of the highest standard. 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.

    Amenities
    Keyed elevators to each unit
    Oversized windows

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

    Central air & heat(HVAC)
    Wide plank hardwood floors

    Exposed brick
    Stainless steal appliances

    Granite kitchen countertops
    Maple kitchen cabinets

    Blue stone baths

    (Nine floors)

    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.

    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.

    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.
