megan01+FollowBrooklyn’s $525M bet: What’s next for Williamsburg?A $525 million construction loan just landed for Williamsburg Wharf, putting Brooklyn’s waterfront transformation into overdrive.

A cluster of new towers, tons of apartments, and fresh retail right on the East River. It’s a huge win for local jobs and the economy, but it also raises big questions about affordability and how the area will change. Is this the boost Brooklyn needs, or will it push out longtime residents? Let’s talk about what this means for the community. #RealEstate #Brooklyn #Williamsburg00Share
