Greenpoint Gets Twin Condos, Complete With Pool, Trees, Spandrel Glass
The ultra-modern, ultra-chic architects at Meltzer/Mandl are conquering Brooklyn, one warehouse- to- condo conversion at a time. First came the curvaceous Vanderbilt in Clinton Hill. Up next? A pair of "strikingly modern" apartment buildings, with 130 units, at 110 Green and 133-137 Huron Street.
The concrete and glass condos will be "contextual with the scale of the surrounding buildings"--Meltzer and Mandl sure know how to sweet talk--yet the firm promises to bring dynamism to the defunct Greenpoint manufacturing district.
As for that vibrancy, there will be a 360-foot window of colored spandrel glass, plus 16 new trees, a public roof terrace and pool. Spandrelific! read more »
The full release, as always, is after the jump.

Two lucky Clinton Hill warehouses are about to turn into two six-story condos (plus a 60-foot inner courtyard, plus a shiny pool.) The curvy Vanderbilt Apartments, designed by Meltzer/Mandl Architects, will be made of clear and "colored spandrel glass."
According to the designers, all this luxurious shine will set "the benchmark for future new construction in Clinton Hill." Enjoy!
