The Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower is, at long last, getting naked. As Gowanus Lounge also noticed, workers have removed the shrouding from the topmost portion of Brooklyn’s tallest building over the past couple of days, revealing the skyscraper’s gleaming gold cupola. (Good stuff to be sure, but perhaps not as good news as the fact that common charges were recently chopped in half.) We can’t wait for the full monty, when the tower’s restored clockfaces get an airing. It’s been too long, Willie. We’re ready for you to take it off, take it all off…Now, if only that penthouse would come on the market?

  1. i really do wish the apple store would open up on the ground floor.

    needs to be something along those lines. i thought trader joe’s would have been good there, and a little more accessible to more people in brownstone brooklyn but the spot they chose is a good one.

    Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) – Commodities had the biggest monthly gain in 32 years, led by wheat, crude oil and gold, as the dollar’s slump enhanced the appeal of energy, grains and precious metals as a hedge against inflation. The 19-commodity Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index was up 8.1 percent this month, the most since July 1975.

    Good week Dumbasses.

    Due to the effects of this Housing Boom you are paying more for goods. Inflation is a stealth tax on the middle class, it’s robs you of purchasing power. So keep praying, the end is coming soon.

    Someday this war’s gonna end…

  3. I saw it in person over teh weeekend at the Atlantic Ave street fair, and it does look nice. Can’t wait until the clock is working again.

    Any word on the retail bank lobby space? I saw a rumor on this board that Apple was considering the space, but I don’t put much stock in an annonymous blog post.

    Also, what about move in dates? Last I heard is floors 9-12 were to move in late fall early winter.

    As to the common charges I think what Brownstoner meant was the expected abated J-51 taxes are about half the original estimate, but I think the common charges are the same.
