If nothing else, the Finger building has provided some much needed excitement during the August doldrums in the local news business! If not for the seemingly weekly changes to this unfinished building’s height, well, we would just have to write about something else. The latest tidbit comes courtesy of the Observer, which writes that The Finger (no one does seem to call it The Albero), located at 144 North 8th Street, will in fact rise to 14 stories and not ten, as Crain’s reported just two days ago! As for a timeline, the construction manager promised it would be done in ten months. GMAP

The person who led the opposition is now the Executive Director of the Open Space Alliance which is fairly developer-friendly so I think, unfortunately, the neighborhood has lost its champion.
i think that it will get built dave. there’s new people involved. i cannot wait because it’s been an unfinished project for years. the location will be considered prime, so if the condo sales aren’t there, this would rent out pretty fast.
there’s no hype. the building elicited a lot of bad feeling in the neighborhood, and the nabe fought against it.
what is the big hype about this building?
they’re just asking for more trouble!
I think this building is in the process of giving the finger to Brooklyn.
Who wants to wager that construction stops shortly???
