From Curbed:Late last week the ribbon was cut and the curtain dropped on the 13-unit building's Cor-Ten steel facade, designed by RSVP Studio. Developers and dignitaries were on hand for the unveiling, which included a donation to a local arts group (East of East is across the street from P.S. 1 and has embraced an artsy vibe) and the announcement that 25% of the building is already in contract.
Why would they make a new building look like the rusting eyesores they are trying to rid the neighborhood of? Can you imagine bringing people over to see your new place? "I live in THAT building. Isn't it gorgeous?"

I bet there really a pretty penny too because they get the beautiful smell from the Standard oil Newtown Creek toxic soup. Hope they dont complain about the large train yard behind them which would be hilarious.
Very rustic building on a well maintained road. One of the amenities is the loads of free rats all over that block.
Is brown rusty water dripping down the windows when it rains?
Hipsters just LOVE living in crap houses, makes them feel "More connected to the people"
Very Third World looking, then again, this country is heading down that road.
I don't get it either - it ugly and doubt 25% is in contract - not F**** way babe.
No bank is going to provide buyer (sic) with a load to purchase this Crap! LOL!!!!
Never mind the fact that cor-ten is popular now. All you're doing is making surface aesthetic judgments. Typical of this website.

You mean A political Yuppies love living in crap like this. Hipsters can't afford nor want this rust bucket there grandpa.
This was built on an old gas station that stood there for 100 years, just like the rest of the pathetic crap around this thing in that neighborhood. Across the street is a new food market that was built on top of another old polluted gas station with apartments above it. Heaven knows what kind of cancer mold will develop in there.
It's this type of abomination that has destroyed the neighborhood from a family-oriented working class area to an unsustainable, now-deteriorating eyesore. In two years, anyone that is clueless enough to buy into this now, will lose their shirts and further inflame the foreclosure mess.
