Development Watch: 216 Pacific Street
We can’t believe we haven’t written this one up yet…The former garage at 216 Pacific Street in Cobble Hill is being converted to a mixed-used building with commercial use on the lower two floors and residential use on the upper two floors. The residential portion will be divided up into just three units. Sounds pretty…

it’s the unlicensed gunners you need to watch out for. hon.
getalife, you are suddenly my favorite poster!
May I tell you how out-gunned you are in every respect?
Listen hon, if you meet a petite gal wearing antique jewelry who is in the advertising biz, take care, cuz she has a loaded lady pistol in her designer handbag or backpack, and that ain’t bullshit. I have a license.
flavorpaper- thanks for all the good information. I’m totally fascinated- hope you do well.
you need to think more carefully mcKenzie. you obviously meant idiotic, since you don’t realize how ironic your cowboy wannabe ass is.
Tom the beer distributor/garage owner and his partner, both great guys, wanted out of the direct sales biz and decided to sell their building and move their distribution biz to a more profitable area with less direct oversight. They didn’t care about new construction.
I, the wallpaper dude, bought it to house a creative, hand made, solvent-free, small scale design and wallpaper company in what I feel is a great neighborhood for my biz, myself and my employees. We have actually done quite a bit of work in the area from our New Orleans location.
I appreciate all of your design input, but this is not a landmarked building or area (although the woman in the beautiful former mill work and wood turning shop, aka “firehouse”, next door is trying to start one) and we have the right to create whatever we feel is right for us. The look of the block is pretty much a crap shoot. If any of you happened to look on either side of the aforementioned properties you would notice a gaping hole and some very basic 30’s brickwork(part of which also happened to have been a parking lot at one point). The new building across the street is a ridiculous faux-Italianate atrocity, but it will have parking for you mckenzie, and the former day school next to it is a full on trash dump right now.
I would be happy to meet with Mr or Ms mexican to discuss any trash issues you feel are due to my project, but I can promise you we have not dumped anything on the block or anywhere else that shouldn’t receive construction debris. I don’t like their swamp pit any more than you do and would never contribute to it. If anyone sees anything like this happening please report it to the site manager immediately. The woman who lives in the “firehouse” next door has actually written us letters of praise on the job we are doing and how clean we keep the area. We removed asbestos and underground storage tanks from your neighborhood in order to develop an adaptive reuse building rather than adding more square footage like many prefer. As nice as the beer guys were there were always lots of trucks, forklifts, kegs and debris all over the street, which I would think you might appreciate being gone.
The windows were from 1926, which is why they had to go. The energy they would have drained paid for the new ones in months. We like these and we’re pretty sure many others will too.
We are nice, normal people who happen to be fans of contemporary mixed with traditional. It’s what we do daily and we do it well. Swanky happens to be our specialty. We look forward to positively contributing to the neighborhood, meeting all of the residents and making the block a better place.
Have a lovely day,
Flavor Paper
dave,
It ain’t a social club. it’s a real shoot-em up firing range. There are more white people with guns there than in Montana. It’s a neighborhood institution.
‘themexican’s’ wife here: he forgot to mention the best part, they are going to paint the entire facade BLACK. to match the aesthete of the windows.
where’s the gun club again?
I want people to stop driving so that there is more room for me on the road stool-head. read my posts more carefully.
they are urbane and often somewhat ironic.
I am not a bit suprised that they confuse neanderthals.
