Development Notebook: 268 Wythe Coming Along

January 9th, 2009 · No Comments

The building at the corner of Wythe and Metropolitan Avenue, across from the utterly pedestrian 80 Metropolitan is coming along. 268 Wythe is one of the more creative and interesting buildings going up in Williamburg. We won’t be sure until the scaffolding comes down, but it’s one of the rare new buildings that we actually think we’re going to like a lot. We offered a preview of it on Curbed a while back. It will be seven stories and have 13 units. It comes from MDIM Architecture, which is producing some very interesting buildings. We’d rather see a lot more of them and a lot less of the work of some the hacks decimating the cityscape in Williamsburg and other nabes.
