It came out rather dull in the end. The cubes were supposed to be more articulated. That was how it was supposed to achieve its edgy look.

7 January 2013: Missed the best shot: Some units are move-in ready.

9 February 2013: OMG I snapped it by day! Very conservative vs the renderings & esp N-Blox--which imo would've sold well had they launched it in 2011.
I wonder if 59 PM will step in to rescue Neilas' other projects?

FYI: It's dead, financially. They need financing.

30 March 2013: This project reminds me of some of the hipster W'burg lofts--black brick, groovy overhangs, put on hold during the 2008 bust and now being completed, graffiti included.
They hyped this project as being next to Grappa...but grabba this--it's now Isabel and you know when a realtor is opening a bar the market is "slow."
You could be hanging around Wythe and N10th for all I care:
Would you stop here?

That's funny, a Nissan Cube appropriately parked in front of Cube Lofts.

It was last Saturday--do construcion worker types usually work on the day before their big "high holy day?"

I like it. Has a very Williamsburg vibe to it, graffiti included.

Neilas have good taste in choosing architects. Unfortunately, their poor acumen translates into few of their projects becoming reality.
On a side note hopefully the neighbouring property can somehow (eventually) compliment this building, and not resemble the cheapo stucco job to its west.

I think the currently building fits in well with the area. not as stunning as the renderings but not bad at all. I think they were wise to go with the darker windows even though it takes away from the look of the rendering to offer the residence a bit of privacy. and I know someone who just moved in this week, the first occupant, so it's finally in the finishing stages.
