Dinky Boymelgreen Project on Carlton and Pacific

house
We've been keeping our eye on this new townhouse going up on the edge of Ratnerville. Located at 518 Carlton, between Pacific and Dean, the development appears to be a Boymelgreen project, though it's hard to believe that something this small is worth the big guy's time. Anyway, it's too early to tell what it's gonna look like but there don't appear to be any red flags yet.

Boymelgreen was a smalltime developer until he joined forces with the billionaire diamond dealer Leviev. There was an article in the NYTimes about Boymelgreen last year that detailed how they met.

That vacant lost has been there for a long time - it's nice to see something finally being built on top of it.

I assumed this would be in the footprint of Atalntic Yards?

This lot used to be part of the Daily news building and when Shaya aquired the building this lot came with it. He has a non-union Chinese construction crew building it so I'm assuming it's not costing him a lot of money to develop the thing.

He's using the same architect as he did for Newswalk. That would be the tastemeister behind the Flintstones-go-Vegas elevator shaft and Howard Johnson coloration on an otherwise dignified building. So anything is possible with this one...
