The interior demolition of the Albee Square Mall has been wrapped up for a few weeks now and the structure itself is now being dismantled. The mixed-use project, dubbed City Point, is slated to include 900,000 square feet of rental apartments, 500,000 square feet of retail and 125,000 square feet of Class A office space. The project was never intended to take advantage of 421-a so the looming deadline is a non-issue.

Why are developers spending so much to build in this area? There is nothing here in the area for would-be rich folk moving in here. The only fine dining is a grey’s papaya or KFC. You can’t even come out of your apartment at night for fear of muggings or rapings from the local animals who dwell there. The only area for shopping is fulton st. which a mess of arabs selling fake gold jesus pieces and sneaker stores. They’re luxury condos surrounded by a jungle.
“The project was never intended to take advantage of 421-a so the looming deadline is a non-issue.”
So why mention it?
I think a Show World would do wonderful business! With all of the luxury condo development, there will be plenty of Wall St. types, plus bacheor parties. Bring it on!
Whole Foods there would be dope. The grocery scene is severely lacking in this area (Pathmark is gross).
should make for nice background in Real World shots.
