This is weird. On Tuesday at the quarterly gathering of the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable, when questioned about his plans for the former Revere Sugar Factory site in Red Hook, said clearly (and we’re staring at our notes as we write this) that he envisioned the site being “quasi residental…Maybe student housing.” This was immediately tweeted, blogged and reported in the mainstream media. Then, this morning, in The Post, Sitt denied ever saying anything about building dorms above retail on the site. Instead, he went back to his original script of wanting to do bob box retail. What gives?
