Work Resuming at Oro Part Deux?

In the spring of 2008 it was announced that the second Oro site on Gold Street in Downtown Brooklyn was going to be a Hilton hotel. After that announcement, however, the hole in the ground remained untouched for well over a year while the real estate market imploded around it. In recent days, however, there's finally been some action at the site. The pit in the ground has been filled in and smoothed over. We're assuming the work was just to clean up the site for long-term lay-away and no one we reached out to could tell us anything specific. There've been no new applications filed or approved in recent months either. Anyone know what the deal is? In related news, there's been a changing of the guard at the original Oro: Rose Associates has taken the reins from Elliman. Listings (and there are a lot of them) can now be found here.
