was a buyer but got out thankfully. looks like the developer went bankrupt. the facade is literally falling off the building with pieces of 'elegant jerusalem stone' smashed on the sidewalk. i guess some other developer will have to come to the rescue on this one but it's a train wreck. i don't even feel safe walking in front of that building let alone living in it

closing is scheduled for 1/09 as far as i can tell. according to brownstoner (http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2008/08/checking_in_on_12.php) one unit has already closed. not sure how this is possible without a certificate of occupancy

game over man, game over
i have to imagine everyone has gotten out of their deals by now? although january was pretty stressful for a minute, i ultimately had no trouble when i asked for my money back and in the end feel very lucky
