NYC Parks is wrong....Windsor Terracs boundaries are Prospect Park West, Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery and Fort Hamilton/Ocean Parkway.

simple enough.

Lalaland,

Thanks for the information.

I had heard that the East 7th street building was possibly going to be a nursing home...but nothing more than that...and I figured something else happened since the

Yes, it's too bad that the other stable was knocked down for the 'monstrosity'...but I agree, it looks like kensington stables will survive!

Have they sold all the park cirle unit's, last I heard and looked there still seemed to be a bunch left?

Thanks.

yeah, I'd have to agree with lalaland, this isn't windsor terrace....windsor terrace stops at ocean parkway/fort hamilton pkwy to the south there...just above the boundary of the map.

A couple of questions for lalaland or anyone...what's going in on the site on east 7th btw Kermit Place and Caton Avenue...there used to be a couple abandoned houses there that were knocked down and a foundation was layed but it's been sitting empty for a couple of months now.

Also, other than the 6 floor monstrosity on the north side of caton place (right across from the stables) is there also another building on the south side of Caton place that's also sitting unfinished? I usually walk down east 8th and don't go down caton place,so I haven't seen it but a planner at the DCP Brooklyn office just told me there was another unfinished building across the street from the monstrosity.

Green roof guy,

What did you use as your growing medium? Is it just soil? Is there a drainage layer in there or are these essentially just containers with soil? What is the added weight when these are saturated?

Thanks, I'm interested in seeing how everything turns out.
