Real World Brooklyn Location Moves to the Top Floor of Peir 41 - Red Hook
August 7, 2008
Due to construction permit issues at the BellTel Loft, the staff of Real World 21 Brooklyn have decided to move the cast to the very top floor of the Pier 41 which is in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, which is one of the boroughs of New York City. Filming is due to begin next month in September. The actual location of Pier 41 is 204 Van Dyke Street. This building is very new, but has had some difficulty finding occupancy, so this is a perfect fit for the cast of rowdy partiers.
This location has been used before, as seen in the movie Hitch. This will be the first reality TV shot at this location.
Stay tuned!
Belltel Lofts Brooklyn

So here it is… the soon to be Real World famous Belltel Lofts:
Yeap, MTV has announced that cast members will be living here in our very own Belltel Lofts at 365 Bridge St., Brooklyn, New York 11201. The penthouse should be amazing as it has five full bedrooms, bamboo floors, two terraces and a giant roof deck. We have heard rumors of a Jacuzzi so the standard drunken hot tub sex will remain a fixture for this series.
Real World Brooklyn - Belltel Lofts
July 9, 2008
The location of the 21st season of MTVs hit reality TV show will be at the amazing 27 story Belltel Lofts on Bridge Street in downtown Brooklyn. The cast will be living in the spacious (by New York standards) 6,000 foot penthouse on the top floor. While massive for New York, and even Brooklyn where prices are similar to Manhattan (but you get more space), it still is the smallest location for the show. Smallest yes, but as per usual for New York, it is also has the largest fee to the tune of $6 million!
We can only imagine how the current residences feel about this taking place is anyone’s guess… but I imagine some are excited and some are terrified. The owner of the building David Bistricer has publicly stated that measures are being taken to reduce the impact of the real worlders to to the normal residences.
Considering that there is a rumor that Puck from Season 1 may be the doorman for the building, makes me think that minimizing the disturbances to the neighbors and other residences will be impossible.
