Since we last checked, there’s a banner proclaiming the existence of a website for the rental building at www.bklyngold.com, but it’s just a placeholder where you can submit your contact info; nothing juicy like layouts and prices just yet.

Sure, but those 10 minutes aren’t along a virtual superhighway with an unforgiving streetscape. They’re along historic tree-lined streets with lots of people around and lots to look at and shops and restaurants.
You’re going to reply by saying that once these people move in, further development and retail will follow. And I just don’t think that’s true anymore when it’s this hard to get credit. Marginal projects aren’t going forward anymore.
zinka – not everyone lives in your world where everything needs to be next door and across the street. did you know that it takes more than 10 minutes to walk to any subway stop from the center of park slope?
Yeah, jeez, McDonald’s and a giant storage warehouse should be enough retail for anyone.
quick walk to york street F, plenty of retail that way and down flatbush and at fulton mall all of which are close. mega supermarket on myrtle next year, plenty of retail in oro and avalon eventually as well. some of the posts here are either ignorant or idiotic or both.
Forte is south of Fulton. not really so close to these.
And even if 1/2 units occupied when finished that is still lot of retail customers. And there are other people living in area – Univ. Towers, Kings-whatever, another one and some of the projects.
I think they have retail spots that are empty Pete. The fact is that nobdoy lives in the area still except the 35 poor bastards that live in the Forte
supposedly whats-his-name is going to build the supermarket on Myrtle. Although the wide-street Tillary may create some psychological barrier it really isn’t that far from Willoughby avenue entrance on Flatbush for the subway.
Are those other new buildings along Flatbush including retail at street level (Oro, Toren, Avalon)?
I am sue that the building will be in talks with Whole foods when it comes to market and the deal is imminent 🙂
Granted McD’s is not ideal but the building looks pretty good from the outside, I think. They just need a good supermarket down there!
