If someone would have told me that I would be witnessing the creation of a city 9 years ago, Im not sure I would have understood what they were talking about.
When I first moved to Brooklyn, Carroll Gardens I saw the potential that the area had, including the GOWANUS canal.
ORO was the first residential tower at that time, and it was barely out of the ground..I knew however that that would make an awesome investment property, however once they came to market the market had collapsed. The people that bought doubled their investment. !!! Some tripled it…then the next tower arrived and so on and so forth.
That area down on Gold and Tillary is clearly an extension of Manhattan BUT that’s not exactly what they would have referred to as the new city…
I visited today the 550 Vanderbilt Ave development showroom, which is part of Pacific Park.. NEW BROOKLYN NEIGHBORHOOD.
The city that I am watching them build is here inside of Brooklyn, the new parks, the new towers, the stadium , the developments that encompass these mammoth developments…the esplanades in Gowanus, In Bush Terminal, Sunset Park..Greenpoint, Williamsburgh … endless development.
I was way too young or rather not even born when Manhattan was being built, the city we know today is not the one of yesteryear. Brooklyn is following suit, The old Brooklyn is gone, and gone for good, the NEW Brooklyn has arrived and continues being built…it will have a skyline, it will have water front it will have all the nooks and crannies that Manhattan has.
From Dumbo, to Sunset Park, I have been fortunate to see with my own eyes how, a city is built. I must say its quite impressive … now that I know the signs I hope to use my visionary skills and seek out the next future city …and start investing there. Keep your eyes open …its coming sooner than you think.
