It’s been a year since the owners of Carlton Mews, the church-conversion-plus-new-townhouse development in Fort Greene, received the green light from LPC but other than a little clearing not much has happened in the meantime. According to a well-placed source, the project is “on life support” right now, presumably a victim of the current financing environment. What a bummer it would be if this didn’t happen. Update: A tipster emailed to tell us that the original owner of this site sold the development rights to the current developer but held onto the land. The result? If the deal doesn’t go through, he ends up keeping downpayment for development rights and still owns the land.
