Shahn Andersen better wear a disguise to the next meeting of the Secret Society of Brooklyn Developers after he’s appeared in print flying the DDDB colors! Other than displaying Shahn’s choice in t-shirts, the Real Deal article that just came out on the Broken Angel conversion also provides some interesting deets on the economics of the project. Shahn is quoted as saying that he expects to spend about $3 million to renovate the existing structure and build from the ground up on the vacant lot. As for his deal with Woods? The pair will split the profits 50-50. “[Wood] is going to come out ahead,” Shahn says.

  1. Is that some strange crosshatching on the photo or are you wearing stocking sleeves or a tattoo Shahn?

    …and the neighborhood parents never thought the goth kids would amount to anything…haha.

  2. “Golden Boy” does have an architect. I just prefer a more hands on approach than some developers when presenting to the community. It’s the lack of direct communication with the community that gives many developers a bad name.

    I think it was an interesting discussion to have with the Landmarks Preservation Committee, and by extension the CB2 Land Use Committee, on whether the stick style of the 1863 construction or the Queen Anne and Tudor flourishes of the 1896 renovation should be most evident in the final design of the building that was presented at that meeting. I wouldn’t want to give up that experience just because my architect has more knowlede of the building code than I do.

    If you recall, the CB2 Land Use Committee voted 11-1 in favor of my project at the meeting you attended Anon 11:56. I think I did a little better than Rocky Balboa’s 57-23-1 record on that particular day. 😛
