We caught some layers of insulation going onto a new building at 1 Lexington Avenue on the corner of Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill when we passed by earlier this month. According to a new building permit, a three-family, three-story building is planned here. We would have guessed from the look of it that the new building is a school or has more apartments than three.

Previously, this was a ramshackle one-story building that may have been a group of 1920s garages plus a makeshift shed. The property last changed hands for $6,175,000 in 2013. To us, that seems like a pretty high price if the developer is planning only three units. What do you think?
