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.
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 … Read More
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.
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.
January 4, 2017, we’re opening a temporary Leasing Office in a trailer on-site. We anticipate the first lofts will be occupied in March of this year. How is that possible? Well, behind those temporary windows there’s a LOT going on!

Construction is continuing at a rapid pace. Finish work on the third and fourth floors is blazing along behind temporary windows, with sound insulation and sheet rock going into most units. Framing on the second floor is just a month or so behind.
Wondering what Roebling Lofts and Center will be like when they’re all done? Here’s a sneak peak thanks to our architects and cutting edge virtual reality technology: the same basic CAD models used to design the complex helped generate these 3-D views.
