Brooklyn Eagle is a shoddy operation. They aren’t going to get their act together any time soon. But they do win the prize for stretching Prospect Heights to an absurd degree.
Prospect Place between Buffalo and Ralph is Prospect Heights? That’s quite a strrrrreeeeettttttccccchhhhh. Get your act together, Brooklyn Eagle.
As for Terrapin, City removed contractor’s incentive to finish. It’s like getting too far ahead in the payments. This Spring I saw weekend work nearly every weekend (well, at least some debris removal and moving stuiff around). That all stopped when Novo got the temporary C/O. There’s progress, for sure, but it is way slower than it could be. I bet they are only working on it when guys are idle from other jobs.
I don’t see why an archirtect was involved in that prosepct heights place. It just looks like a garden variety “builder’s” house. No architect required.
