It would be fantastic if Lego opens up in Toren's retail space!!!

I heard a Ferrari dealership might be interested in the space.

Avalon is taking over the world!

Here's a link to info. about the boundaries: http://www.atlanticyards.com/html/ay/location.html

Just Google map-ed it. The area looks like CRAP.

I have driven by the area numerous of times and all I see are stolen/stripped down cars being dumped around the area. Right now, if I had a choice I'd pick the ugly development over the current hole in the ground.

Why is there so much opposition for this project? The area is sh*t anyway!

In response to Parise Devil:

Section 8 is a government program to assist low-income families with rent. The keyword is RENT. Oro and Toren are condos. The only rental building is Avalon.

Does it hurt your assh()le talking out of it so much?

Do your research before you rant!

Toren has 42 below market value units. I believe a household can make no more than $160G's to apply. The units are set aside for civil workers or whoever can scumbag their way in.

Randomness...

Whole Foods should bail on Park Slope and move on into Downtown Brooklyn.

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 27, 2008 12:44 PM in response to Closing Bell: Top of the Toren

I hope Forte, Oro, Toren, all the damn buildings in Brooklyn do well. Its only going to benefit the neighborhood, right?

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 27, 2008 11:17 AM in response to Closing Bell: Top of the Toren

Its all real baby. You jealous?

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 26, 2008 4:52 PM in response to Closing Bell: Top of the Toren

76 market rate units + 42 below market units = 118 units in contract out of 240 units = 49.xxxx% in contract.

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 5:16 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

Its 5pm. Is everyone packing up from their busy day of blogging at work? Who's hard working?

I don't think there's milk in that stuff. Its made out of space age insulation. I believe NASA sold them the recipe.

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 4:28 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 4:20 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 4:07 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 3:59 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

New Construction: pool, roof decks, library, garage, gym.

Its hard to pick over those great amenities, right?

It should be an exciting time for Downtown Brooklyn. The area is changing for the better.

Lets welcome the DIVERSITY!!!

In response to Just Wondering:

would say the New York Times article is trying to feed us into the model minority?

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 2:44 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

So, did the article have a negative impact or positive impact on Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City?

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 18, 2008 2:35 PM in response to The Asian Diaspora Reaches Downtown Brooklyn

How does it not look like it?

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 13, 2008 2:17 PM in response to Toren Really Showing Its Skin Now

Doing that will definitely nullify Toren's LEED status. The building is looking good though.

Posted by: onevalianteffort at August 12, 2008 5:51 PM in response to Toren Really Showing Its Skin Now

How does it light up?
