Admit it, you're lusting after the comingsoon "impeccably renovated" condos coming to 166 Montague Street. After picking up some slightly overpriced groceries at Garden of Eden you've looked up and got a little dewy over the promised ALL VIKING kitchens splashed on the scaffold signs surrounding the historic Franklin Trust building. Brownstoner tells us that the finished apartments will go for something in the neighborhood of $1200/sq foot. So do you have the wanderlust?

Is there any reason to think the constant complaints from 180 Montague residents of street noise (delivery and garbage trucks) at all hours will somehow dissipate at 166?
I can’t get over how the entire West side of that building is devoid of windows. I mean, think of the sunset and water views! Such a shame they don’t have windows and I doubt the LPC would ever allow them (not to mention that they’re probably lot-line windows that could some day be covered over.)
I like how on the scaffolding the illustration is not just a drawing of a lobby — it’s a drawing of the future.
$1200 a square feet is crazy. Plus it is so loud over there and its not the best looking part of BH. If you move to BH I’m assuming you want a street with some trees.
The Bossert building (Jehova Witness owned on corner of Montague and Hicks) is being sold for 100 Million to be resold as fancy shmancy apartments. There goes the neighborhood!
zOMG, more wealthy white people, how will poor Brooklyn Heights adapt to the scourge?
At 5:30 I walk past that corner every morning to go to the gym. And it is one of the least desireable corners in the Heights. There are the guys unloading stock at the side entrance of the Rite Aid, to the coffee vendor who dumps his grease on the sidewalk (look for the patch of sludge as proof during the weekends), the commercial garbage trucks, and huge 18 wheelers. Even though I think it’s a beautiful building, I can’t imagine walking out my front door to smell that chinese restaurant and the density of both cars and foot traffic.
If the nice old buildings were still there so you could look out on that rather than the roof of Rite Aid, that might help.

However, if you live in Manhattan, this part of the Heights would seem practically deserted.
