Dumbo Update: Umbrellas, Banks and Blacktop

dumboupdate3.jpg
A few developments of note in the neighborhood between the bridges: (1) The triangular public space at Pearl and Front Streets now has some snazzy blue umbrellas which dramatically increases the chill-out factor on the heretofore unshady plaza; (2) The Chase Bank on the ground floor of the J Condo is having its furniture and fixtures installed; workmen report that the space could be ready within two weeks; (3) The demise of the Novo Clutch building, which Two Trees has demo'd in hopes of building a large mixed-use project, acquired an air of finality to it with completion of the blacktop on the site Tuesday.

I like the blue umbrella's, very summer cool... but that block is still begging for an eatery to maximize the use of the plaza.
