POLL: Is Sleepy Sheepshead Bay Set to Undergo a Building Boom?
On Monday, 6sqft revealed renderings of a new tower in Sheepshead Bay, the once-sleepy waterfront community that’s almost as far out as Coney Island. Its 331-foot height may not be news in most of the city, but here the residential tower will be four times taller than almost anything else in the area. Not only does this set a precedent for future construction, but it’s certainly gotten the ears of developers looking for the next frontier. And with condo units expected to start at $700,000, this building may also spark the interest of average New Yorkers looking for a chance to get in on the luxury game. So, could Sheepshead Bay be the next ‘hood to blow up?
