BFD. I work at a bank and pay $500 out of pocket for my health insurance every month. Unions suck and thankfully are dying off.

i recall some discussion in the past about these places having really low ceilings. that true?

Not the greatest block.

Could have a little more chopping to do, but these will sell ultimately. Great building.

if i had any money, i'd be putting it (gradually) into stocks right now. it's not like the Dow is going to 5,000.

I don't even know what to say about that price but those will be some crazy views.

Sounds too good to be true. Who's going to be pissed about this? Anyone?

What heck--try it for a month or two and see. Screw the studies and impact statements. Too expensive and time consuming!

Yes, not the most prime block in Fort Greene, but attractive building, attractive apartment and attractive price.

It's going to take a lot of new cafes in Bed Stuy to make up for 6,000 jobs!

cool indeed.

this is actually impressive that they've gotten this done with no price cuts. have to admit i am surprised.

Because they just marched onto her property without asking!

I don't understand why it's so hard to find space. How about just doing it on Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. Help make over that horrible stretch.

Posted by: guestula at September 19, 2008 9:48 AM in response to Fort Greene Bookstore Has Support, Needs Space

This place looks much cooler and better designed than T-Cup. It's got a real vibe that T-Cup interiors were lacking, I thoguht.

For the sake of property values, let's hope this inversion thing continues. We need some major demographic trend to balance out the mutant RE bubble bursting. Right, What!

Holy Crap. How many hotel rooms does Brooklyn need? If they can fill them it will be great for business in the area , that's for sure.

I'm all for preserving neighborhoods and wasn't happy that Two Trees tore down a building on this site right before landmarking, but I have to admit that i thnk the building itseldf is fine. it'll certainly be better than j condo or the tall one on Adams stret.

Posted by: guestula at July 30, 2008 10:28 AM in response to DOE: It's Time to Examine Dock Street

If it's the building i'm thinking of, it's not that sweet to look at from the outside.

How many contractors are you getting to bid on this? what are guessing the overall budget will be?

How cool. I've been in the Navy Yard but never seen this upclose. Also dig the personal feel of this feature. I hope other architects follow suit.

Posted by: guestula at July 15, 2008 10:53 AM in response to Architect's Diary: Dry Dock No. 1

I think this is a great direction for this neighborhood--there's not much residential on these side blocks but it's near a lot of residential areas and transportation.
