We’ve gazed at the 300,000-square-foot Newswalk building (mentioned twice in yesterday’s commentary) countless times from the Atlantic Avenue side but never really stopped to stare at the wacky Dean Street side of the project that put Shaya Boymelgreen on the map as a developer in Brooklyn back in 2000. The conversion required a zoning change for three city blocks. As we were still living in that other borough across the river at the time, though, we’d appreciate a little history lesson on the conversion. Who designed it? How controversial was it? And has there been much turnover at the 150-unit building recently? What kind of price per square foot are the apartments commanding?
