This is 524 Manhattan Avenue, which is located at the edge of what we call the Tahoe Triangle near McCarren Park in Greenpoint. The area has been an epicenter of new development, getting a number of condo projects from Tahoe Development that have gone on the market with names like Manhattan Avenue Condo and Northpoint Tower. 524 is on a triangular block that includes a Robert Scarano building (the wood paneled one on the left) and a condo called Loftology. The new building will be 12 stories tall and have 14 units. It will also presumably block a view here and there from its predecessors on the block.

Hmmmm … it’s taller that 5-6 stories right now. My guess is that it might go as high as Loftology next door. Anyone know who’s developing this and who might be selling the units?

So I checked a little and this is not a Tahoe Development project. I called them and they said to contact the contractor to find out who’s behind it. The name of the contractor is Super Yuen Construction Corp. Anyone know anything more?
