I don't know why, but I love to read posts about poor doors, the projects, and supportive housing. Seriously speaking, if I had to go through a "poor door" to an apartment on the 72nd floor, evenly laid out and with amazing views, I wouldn't care But I know that lottery apartments in poor door buildings come with views to a brick wall, no W/D, and less than standard appliances.

Well I can objectively say you will get in unit w/d and decent appliances but it might just be in a weird a** layout and you can only go as high 31. I really hope they prove me wrong.

There were other lotteries with weird layouts as well: 57 VIA and even The Summit have those interesting layouts for both market rates and not. But I do agree that Brooklyn Crossing’s apartments and layouts are beautiful so I wouldn’t blame you if you don’t go through with it

Yeah, I’m curious to see how this plays out but I’m definitely NOT running to pay an additional $400 a month in rent. Lifetime should be at BC next year, the only amenity I care about.

I haven’t toured BC, but based on images others have posted of their visits, I would not trade BC for BK Tower. But if you do… ask if your lease can be reassigned to me lol

While I don't think it's that bad, I find the apartment layouts more offensive

Looking at the exterior of the building, it does seem like something bad is going to happen lol
