The 13-story condo development at 525 Clinton Avenue is looking great, we think, but it’s not exactly flying along. As we’ve said before, we think this place’ll be a nice boost for the neighborhood—and hopefully help inspire more retail activity along this stretch of Fulton. (Speaking of which, when’s the Pequena gang going to get in gear on the old bodegas space that PACC awarded them last spring.) Anyhoozles, perhaps the slow pace has something to do with the special curtain wall that the developers are using on the exterior. One thing’s for sure, those upper floors are going to have some sweet views.

  1. 1:02: “i think ‘the what’ needs to be shut out from this site.”

    Agreed. Enough threadjacking, spamming and crapflooding.

    The What: “I will give you the right to have an opinion if, you give me the right also.”

    I’d totally agree IF THIS WAS YOUR SITE. You’ve chosen to feed off someone else’s site and audience. You have no rights.

    And obviously no balls or you’d start your own forum rather than be a parasite.

  2. “uh ya know what’s a good hedge against inflation? Owning real estate. Pick up an econ 101 text.”

    No dumbass, Real Estate must be maintained. Which cost money. Stocks and Gold over time is better.

    “i think ‘the what’ needs to be shut out from this site. get some meds and a hobby cause you are truly nuts. stop watching apocolypse now and clockwork orange over and over and get a life. its weird and ridiculous for the rest of us back on earth.”

    I will give you the right to have an opinion if, you give me the right also.

    Why am I nuts? I bring evidence of a corrupt financial system. I guess you don’t have a car or buy food. Inflation robs us all.

  3. Let’s hope that the developer has a better idea of what people expect from a building like this than Richard Meier did. It appears that this building is at least going to have real ceiling heights and even a unique design. If your going to build a glass tower, do it in an area that will benefit from the addition to the community. Unlike OPP which is completely out of character and takes away from beauty of Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza. I think 525 is a great addition. Let’s face it there’s a lot more coming with Atlantic Yards and this one looks to be classiest by far.

  4. Seems really hard to believe that the same people who are considering Un Prospect Park would also consider this development. An okay modern building in a less than great location – right off Atlantic – versus GAP? Don’t get me wrong, I love Clinton Hill. But I suspect the earlier posters are trying to create some sense of equivalence for the two projects when in my mind they aren’t even close.
