Development Watch: 202 Myrtle Halfway There
Two months ago, there was just some steel framing as high as the first floor; now they’re working on cinderblocking the fifth story of the nine-floor, $26 million residential project being brought to you by John Catsimatidis’ Red Apple Group.

regardless, looks like el cheapo construction.
Lets hope its Gristedes – the only supermarket in New York that carries Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers!
zinka, if you go back far enough (not one of the links above), the design by Dattner & Associates received praise on this board. I do not know if the design has changed in the ensuing financial maelstrom.
Rehab, I believe it’s a Gristede’s and a Duane Reade (to replace the one that was demolished).
Why so few windows on the Ashland side?
I hope this doesn’t end up being unforgivably ugly, but I’m not holding my breath.
So what I want to know is: Any intel on prospective retail tenant? Might John give us a branch of the mediocre-but-better-than-Associated supermarket, Gristedes?
