One Hanson Now Scaffolding-Free

Last week the scaffolding on the Hanson Place side of the Williamsburg Bank Building finally came down. "It's still up along the Ashland side and down next to the church on Hanson," writes a resident of the building. "Now if we can just get the new Atlantic station open we'll be in great shape!" GMAP

They are trying to get the scaffolding off so the DOB will give them the tax abatement. The taxes listed on Streeteasy are the taxes with the abatement, but in fact there is no abatement yet. DOB considers the building unfinished.

Misleading headline. The building is certainly not scaffolding-free, as shown by the photograph above.

Speaking of One Hanson, there is a half+ page ad in this weekend's Brooklyn Paper for "skylightonehanson," event space for 150-1000 people. The website is a slideshow of interior details in the former ground floor bank, with contact information.
I don't remember seeing this on an LPC hearing agenda, so 'skylight' might have made so few changes they were able to get a staff approval. (I also don't remember reading anything here; apologies if this is old news.)
