Williamsburg's New Look N. 5 Street

Those who remember the old wasteland look of N. 5 Street in Williamsburg (which requires thinking back all of about 24 months) might take note that the street's New Look is quickly coming together. The fences are down and the new streetscape is taking form. (Part of the new streetscape, on the other side of the street, is the vast construction site of the Edge development, which should take shape by next spring or summer.) The dark red brick structure is Palmer's Dock, the affordable housing portion of the Northside Piers property.
