The High Street A/C subway stop is a five minute, maybe 6 minute walk from that spot. That is not a "long hike".

So..to get back on topic after so many clever posts.

You are one subway stop from lower manhattan, or a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Brooklyn Heights is right next door, and DUMBO is down the street.
A new waterfront park is going to be built (eventually) less then half a block away.

All the foot traffic outside means you can collect a good commercial rent.
So the location is quite good.

My concern is the building next door, which has been falling down because of an alleged underground stream.
That could be a problem if its going to take down this building with it.

I've been watching this one for awhile. "Growing up Gotti" is a good way to describe it.
The garage is big enough to fit a good number of Hummers.

Has anyone ever been in the Navy Yard Bar on the corner? Two friends stopped in there one night for a beer, and from what they told me, its quite a place. The staff are very "involved" in their work.
