Cool views from up there.

wow, i can't believe the changes to Fulton St since I lived in Brooklyn.
|
Just an FYI, Fulton Street has been a "retail" street for over a century; if the data is still true, it's actually the third-highest grossing retail street in NYC http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/16450...e-Brooklyn-NY/. What's actually happening is that the type of retail that's been there for years is being replaced by more national chains in at least the mid-range, with of course hopes to move up to higher-end retail to play off of the markets in the surrounding and gentrified or increasingly gentrified neighborhoods: Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Ft. Greene, Clinton Hill, and Downtown Brooklyn itself.

You're welcome and The Brooklyner is gross and can't be hidden with other stuff soon enough.
|
Nice photo tour! Next time I'm in NYC I plan to spend more time checking out Brooklyn.

lots of amazing pictures.

Nice pictures. Downtown Brooklyn looks pretty nice.
|
Has Downtown Brooklyn ever looked so good? Incredible.
|
i like the Brooklyner... what's wrong with it?
|
When I was apartment hunting last year I looked at the Brooklyner. The views from the building are spectacular, but it's the classic example of the Manhattanization of Brooklyn.
|
Downtown Brooklyn has some really nice gems I never noticed before. Love that shot of all of the people jam packed on the street in a manhattan-esque vibe.
One thing I love about these cantilevers in new construction is how they preserve neighboring lowrise structures... but then again with all of this grotesque podium obsession in a lot of modern architecture it might not really help much :/ http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8519/8...dd9f7e39_z.jpg Various (Boston, NYC) 051 by city_simmons, on Flickr |

Nice job, nice to see Brooklyn thriving!

Not your grandfather's Brooklyn.

It's starting to look too clean for my liking.
