Jiggaman Condos: Realer Every Day

No, seriously: The Jay-Z-backed L’Eau Condominiums in Northern Liberties? Not an urban myth! How many times do we have to tell you?

Casting an eye beyond the [New York] city, Dawanna Williams discovered the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia, a kind of sixth-borough Dumbo [Ed.: Woof!] that has drawn artists to its warehouse conversions and new construction. With rapper/ producer Jay-Z as an investor, she is well underway constructing a 24-loft, eight-story condominium designed by the Philadelphia firm EM Architecture on a site with views of Ben Franklin Bridge and a block over from the 11-story American Lofts building designed by Winka Dubbeldam.

Ohhhhhh, brudder.
