199 Mott Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 199 Mott Street by Carter Horsley

This very handsome, 8-story residential building at 199 Mott Street in NoLiTa was erected by Alfa Development, which is headed by Michael Namer, whose other projects include Village Green at 211 East 11^th Street and Village Green West at 245 West 14^th Street.

The building was completed in 2012 and has 11 condominium apartments.

Kutnicki Bernstein was the architect.
