27 Cranberry Going Mod
27 Cranberry Street, the 25-by-100 lot that recently sold for $1,500,000 (to developer Louis Greco!), is now going through the design phase.

27 Cranberry Street, the 25-by-100 lot that recently sold for $1,500,000 (to developer Louis Greco!), is now going through the design phase. The Brooklyn Eagle dishes on the modern design: Subject to approval from the LPC, it’ll be a four-story single family home with a mostly glass facade and a stoop. An underground squash court and pool are also planned. The CB2 Land Use Committee has given its approval, but the LPC hearing date was laid over from November 9th. The Brooklyn Heights Association expressed its concern over the width of the home and the glass facade. According to the Brooklyn Eagle, “The architect said the design is contemporary and not intended to imitate its neighbors. Although much limestone will be included, the style will differ.” We’ll see what the LPC thinks. In the meantime, we’ll trade our first-born for a rendering!

COME ON EVERYBODY!
SQUASH THE SQUASH HOUSE!
okay i just googled “squash court”
:-/ x infinity
*rob*
No air-hockey pavilion? That’s disappointing.
that different class of people are the ones the republicans are protecting against a slight increase in marginal tax rates.
I await the LPC’s rejection of the glass facade.
But really, a squash court? I’d settle for a personal bowling alley or an individual gym, or a sex chamber.
But squash…
Without seeing any renderings it’s hard to know what it’s really going to look like.
Don’t people build their own tennis courts and the like because they can’t get into a club?
Never having to book a court: priceless! It’s like saying, how can you blow $60,000 on a media room, when you’re 2 blocks away from a movie theater. It’s not the same thing, and if you had lots and lots of money, wouldn’t you spend it on what makes you happy?
It’s a different class of people, 1910.
