If I'm not wrong, this building goes with the one around the corner, on Manhattan Ave. which looks like a twin building to this one.
It was being marketed by the developers group, but recently it is marketed exclusively by aptsandlofts.com, I geuss that TDG were not selling it.

Wow, I was wrong, I always imagined you as a tall gray-haired man, with a huge hammer in hand, ready to destroy those all ugly-ass new developments :-)
But anyway, congratulations, and keep it up!! you are doing a wonderful job, and I wish you only the best.

yes it's public records, but its another thing to post it TWICE with CAPITAL letters on this forum, while bagging everyone to call and ask.
I haven't seen it at the One Hanson post, to call up and ask what's doing with building, or any other post of today that I can think now.

anon 11:55, would you like if i post your contact info on a public forum, to get tons of people to harass you about your business?
Or I guess it's because his name seems jewish?
You fucking moron, and shameless idiot.

I don't know what Peyser found, but your headline found my laughing spot.
That's a good one Mr. B'stoner

where are all the posters who were so "outraged" and "disgusted" that the synagogue on Kent ave. was allowed to resume work after a worker was injured?
I guess if there are no Hasidim involved, then they don't give a shit.

Mazel Tov!!!

I wish you all the best, it's a positive move for you, and of course to all devoted readers of this blog.
All the best.

272 Berry looked like a bargain, until I checked and saw that the size lot is just 16x50, well, this price will probably have to come down, although the pics of the interior are very appealing.

Jeremy, I'm a devout reader and commenter on this blog, having expressed my opinion here on many issues, so I will try to give my 2 cents here too.
I don't know about you, but I am a hasidic Jew, -although not associated at all with the group that build (if we can call it so)the synagogue-, so I can tell you when Jews are offended, and when not, you cannot come and tell me if I'm offended by any deed or comment from different person, as long as you have not experienced on your own skin, the feeling of being "different" and a member of a particular minority.
I have been troubled, to say the least, my many comments AND posts on this, and similar blogs, referring with very unkind words and terms towards hasidic Jews, I am NOT accusing our dear author the Hon. Mr. Brownstoner of being an anti-semit, nor some of the commentators, but the lack of sensitivity, is very very obvious on this site.
Let's say. for sake of this debate, that many developers of those all ugly-ass buildings in Brooklyn are Hasidic, so what? out of tens of thousands, there are some who you can probably count with your fingers, that do their business in a way very not appreciated by most people, and I totally understand them, but they are a few, their may be a lot of projects, but most are from the same developers, this does not give a reasonable excuse to mention Hasidic Jews in such negative terms, and certainly not all hasidic developers.
Some of the most beautiful projects in Brooklyn are developed by Hasidim too, The Gretch, 55 Berry, Pacific Blue, the toy factory lofts, the chocolate factory lofts, to name just a few, so my main point is, Don't blame all apples, because you have a few rotten ones.
And to Mr. Brownstoner, sorry if I come out here as being harsh on you, I love your work, and appreciate your much time and energy devoted to this site,-one of the first sites that I have to read each morning- it,s just one place where I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

This building has to come down in a few years, cause they don't own the lot, they leased it from the owners, so thats why they made a temporary building, and thats probably why they don't want to invest too much money to cover the exterior.
Not that this will completely satisfy the critics, and I understand them completely, but just to defend them a bit.

Posted by: Mentch at January 18, 2007 10:13 AM in response to Sin-A-Gog Outrage: This Is Getting Ridiculous

Wow, I think it's great, keep up the hard work here, and don't think it's going by unnoticed.

Mr. Brownstoner, you have to do some serious thinking, as it seems you are far off the same page as your readers, see it from the fact that Yassky won in his district on your poll.

Good idea I think.

Hey malymis, I understand your grief when you look at those pictures, and you realize that the Jewish community is expanding, and there are more and more Jews around, well my only solution to you is probably that you should move to Iran or some other terrorist or fascist country. [EDITED BY ADMIN]

I couldn't comment even after refreshing tens of times, but now that I switched to firefox, (I use both of them) it works prefect.
