A Kitchen
Every loft in Roebling Lofts is equipped with a kitchen that is not only beautiful, but also delivers true gourmet functionality. Every one is equipped with an induction range: this delivers the heat response of a gas stove, with the cleanliness of electric cooking.
The Elevator
We’re scrambling to open the third floor for occupancy. Final inspections are progressing well, and we’re hoping to make an exciting announcement any day now. In any event, on Friday, June 9, our elevator passed its state inspection, and we’re now free to use it!
Electricity and Bathrooms (360 view)
Electricity is now on in the building, so we can turn on the lights and photograph a bathroom (finally!!!). Our first tenants will be able to move in very soon!
Flooring, the Final Frontier!
The last big construction step before we can move people into Roebling Lofts is that we need to install the finish flooring. Second through fourth floor units get strand woven bamboo on the entry level. Installation started today. It won’t be long now!
Like Nice Fixtures?
The importance of nice plumbing fixtures is often underrated, since they’re something you use every day. A beautiful fixture delivers continual, small doses of pleasure. Two of the three HHG developers are architects, which has allowed an obsessive level of attention to the smallest details, including the fixtures.
Like Exposed Brick?
Of the 138 units in Roebling Lofts, 12 have at least one complete wall of exposed brick: four Manhattan units, one Lindbergh unit, and one Wright Bros Unit (all of which feature a brick wall across the whole living area); plus six Neversink units (brick in the entry-level bedrooms).
Finishing Up the 3rd Floor
If you’re following us closely, you know we’re opening up the north end of the 3rd floor first. A lot has to happen before we can do that, but then again we have a couple of hundred people working on it. The signs of completion are everywhere as you walk through the building.
Yin and Yang
Finishing work on the fourth floor is moving rapidly to completion! Most of the units on the second floor are 2 Bedroom/2 Bath units which fall into either the “Lindbergh” or “Wright Brothers” floor-plan types. It seemed appropriate to name these top-floor units after two of the most famous aviators in history, both of whom […]
GWB, You Beauty!!
For weeks, construction has been racing ahead, unfortunately too often behind those ugly temporary windows. Finally, the window factory has caught up, and most windows on the third and fourth floors are in, which means we can show the lofts under construction behind them. Here’s my personal favorite, the GWB. Located on the NW corner […]
Looky, looky!
Wonder what it’s going to be like when we’re done? So do we! We took construction photos of two actual 3rd floor units: 1) Brooklyn I (top) and 2) Manhattan I (bottom). The ceiling, spiral stairs, and window (including the view) are real. We then photoshopped in the finished floor and the sun shade, and […]
