Sleek, Modern Condo Development Begins Taking Shape in Greenpoint

Aug. 5, 2015 — A common refrain among New York apartment dwellers is that there's never enough space for anything: not enough closets, not enough cabinets, not enough counters. But that won't be the case for anyone who snaps up a condo unit in 170 West Street in Greenpoint. New York YIMBY got a first look at renderings for the six-story project designed by StudiosC Architects. According to the real estate trade publication, "although 170 West was filed as two buildings, it will look like a single, 70-foot-tall structure." So just how big are the units? All 15 apartments will be divided over 22,770 square feet of residential space — that's an average of 1,518 square feet each. YIMBY adds that "there won’t be any parking, and the developer likely filed the development as two buildings to sidestep the city’s parking rules, which would call for seven parking spots in a 15-unit building."
