Curbed Cup 1st Round: (8) Tribeca vs. (9) Downtown Brooklyn

In the other corner, we have Downtown Brooklyn. After winning the cup in 2011 and making it to the finals in 2012, DoBro failed to make an appearance last year, but the completion of 388 Bridge Street—the tallest tower in Brooklyn—has put the neighborhood back in the running. Many other big residential projects are on the rise, including the next tallest tower, and the mixed-use City Point development hit a few milestones. The ever-popular SHoP Architects also nabbed a commission in the ‘hood, and the neighborhood also saw a push for more green space, though it’s still waiting on more restaurants.

Piet Boon: The Master Creator

piet-boon-portrait-by-jesaja-hizkia

The Oosten is one of the most diverse residential projects I have ever seen. The 7 different residence types are all spacious and light, even the smallest unit. And perhaps more important: I love the fact that it caters for every possible wish and budget. Some even have gardens. The amenities and the level of services offered, is simply mind blowing. The Oosten is one of the most enviable places to live. Williamsburg represents the somewhat romantic image I had in my mind of how America looked like in the past. It very much reminds me of the charm of the Meatpacking District. -Piet Boon

Hamptons: The Most Sought-After Condos in Town

A kitchen at Harbor’s Edge in Sag Harbor.

Harbor’s Edge, 15 brand-new flats, lofts, and bungalows, each facing the water. Keith Green of Halstead Property (2 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 771-5317) is charged with selling these units, and he keeps hearing a familiar refrain. “‘We’re downsizing and it’s just too much for us to keep a big house in the Hamptons,’” Green laughs. “So this is a lifestyle decision. Condominium living means that when you arrive for your long-deserved weekend, you have a single responsibility and that is to turn the key.”
