Development Watch: Love Lane Mews Already
It’s been almost 2 1/2 years since the Love Lane Mews development was announced and the high-end conversion remains far from done. Some of that delay may be attributable to internal issues—like a parting of ways of the original partners. Beyond that, what’s the hold-up?

I used to not mind walking in this service alley to pick up my car. It is what it is, a service alley with mounds of garbage bags from the big building on Hicks and parking areas for the houses facing Pierrepont.
But I don’t think it is a very nice setting for a luxury condo building. And what Sam wrote is true, there are no views at all except of the rear of the CVS.
I retract my prior comment…the closing was 2 years ago this month, so the 2 1/2 year announcement sounds about right.
Nevertheless I agree with Sam.
It’s been more than 2 1/2 years…the garage itself closed 3 years ago this month, and the closing (and its reason) had been announced well in advance
The hold-up?
Could it be, oh I don’t know, the ECONOMY?
This has to go down as one of the stupidest real estate moves in recent memory. Here the owners had a gold mine of a parking garage. They charged top dollar and had waiting lists of rich people willing to overpay for the conveninece of having the family car nearby. But instead, they decided that they could make moh money, moh money, moh money, by turning these ugly old garages, with no views, or height, or sidewalk appeal, into hi-luxe condos.
Pathetic. Maybe it’s not too late to re-open most of it as a garage again?
