Interesting concept.

This is great for the neighborhood. I'm confused how all of the 3 for $1 incense guys can maintain their storefronts.

that rendering is lame. I thought it was going to be a cute little LA-style garden to sit in while your hair is being highlighted.

Cool idea. Don't know what sort of rent she's asking -- obviously she needs to make a little money -- but I hope it's low enough to attract something a little bit offbeat. An Aveda store/restaurant/cafe/boutique doesn't really fit the bill. Would love to see a bookstore, but given how hard it is for independents these days she'd probably have to pay THEM to open it up...

Brilliant & beautiful project. Good for Koz Paley! This stretch of Atlantic desperately needs a bit of change & I'm glad to see her leading the charge. Prices of property on or near this block & especially those close to BAM will greatly stand to benefit from the coming change of the area. Now, only if we could not get Atlantic Yards built, all will be ok.

I love Boerum Hill. What a cool, little neighbourhood. Reminds me of parts of London.
I'm in the process of selling my 1br in Chelsea & will definitely be purchasing a 2 br here. does anyone know where I should be looking in Boerum Hill. I really want to be close to BAM & Atlantic Terminal so I can easily transport to my work in Manhattan.

What great vision from Koz Paley! Boerum Hill condo prices are such a bargain compared to other hoods. Wish I had the money to buy in Boerum Hill. The area is awesome, especially BAM. Good for her.

It's not going to seem so cool when the call to prayer is blasted at top volume 5 times a day from Sheik Abdul Rachman's old mosque across the street.

You think I'm kidding? Al Qaeda used to recruit on this block in the 1980s when it was still a US backed entity fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. These same people danced for joy on 9/11.

Just wait, vandalism and conflict will follow.

The call to prayer is so peaceful. I love it. BTW, it's 2008, not 1988. Bitter renter

If your under 35 and want to live near BAM I'd suggest the Forte' Condos. The building is filling (slowly) with young professionals.

How about truth in advertising= Shitty block, across from Al Qaeda Brooklyn branch office.

I live on the block, in a new condo building. I love it. Its very peacefu and after awhile, you don't even notice the prayers. And hey, if it is a center for terrorist activity, guess who's safest? Hint: its not you!

I too live on the block and its fabulous. Try the condos on Atlantic Avenue, Boerum Heights. They are reasonable and close to the terminal. I agree with the poster above. I feel like I am the safest in NYC. LOL.
