A reader who recently went into contract on a place around the corner wrote in to ask if we knew what was going on with 138 Seeley Street. The plans call for a 12,253-square-foot, 3-story building with nine units. The one thing that jumps out at us is how long this project has been dragging on. The first application for a new building was filed in March 2003 but the application shows that the permit was only granted in April of this year. Given that the photo on Property Shark shows the site in a state of partial construction (one story of framing less than the photo above taken last week), there must be some story here. Another vote of no confidence: The architect is none other than Van Brody, he of the unbridled ego and aesthetcially-challenged designs. Any neighbors care to weigh in on this baby?
