Discussion about
We are interested in buying a condo along the Williamsburg waterfront, but we have heard that some buildings (like The Edge) have planned construction that will obstruct their views. What buildings and lines should we be looking at?
I think now that the only plan is to put up another buidling on Edge sight, where they now have the smorgasburg. The other building that is going up is plainly in view. So if you want the Edge you want to be facing directly onto the Manhattan skyline. The units facing north will lose their views if I remember correctly.
new Edge building will be built between N6th and North 7th on the existing empty lot (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=11211&hl=en&ll=40.72093,-73.963369&spn=0.000875,0.001321&sll=37.6,-95.665&sspn=41.974385,86.572266&hnear=Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Kings, New York&t=h&z=20)
it is the lot of the original Smorsburg location. Sand north and east facing lines will loose the view. Apparently work in starting in 2014 for completition in 2016
Not really at the waterfront if they can build a building closer to the water.
