onehansonEP.jpgAs many will recall, the Williamsburgh Bank Building spent recent decades serving as office space primarily for dentists. As part of the renovation that is converting the upper floors to residential condos, the developers of what is now called One Hanson Place set aside about 30,000 square feet of space for dental practices and are now selling the space as commercial condos. In total, there are 15 medical office suites (though they don’t have to be used for medical purposes) that have been carved out of the bottom seven floors of the building; the offices will have their own entrance on Ashland Place. The listing value of the commercial space is $17 million. Bids for the space are due to Eastern Consolidated by 3 p.m. on May 30…In other One Hanson news, The Post reported today that a deal that would have brought Borders book store to the 35,000-square-foot vaulted space on the ground floor has been killed by an untimely corporate reorganization. What would you like to see in that space?

  1. Grand Central Market is a GREAT idea. So glad Borders isn’t coming. Enough of the big box and bigchain stores. Let’s support the small unique businesses. They’re what make Smith St., Court St. and DUMBO interesting. Let’s keep Brooklyn unique.

  2. Why doesn’t the Brooklyn Public Library shelve their plans to build the ultra expensive library for the Performing Arts nearby and just buy this space and modify it for its use instead? That would make more sense to me. Years down the road if they raise the capital to build the building they could always sell this space back or give up their lease or whatever.

    Or else why not start a roller rink now that Empire has closed. That would be awesome.

  3. The interior of the old Wiliamsburgh Bank on the ground floor of One Hanson is all marble, with a 63′ vaulted ceiling, 40′ windows and absolutely gorgeous mosaics…
    It’s obvious going by a few suggestions made for future use of the space, that some posters have never even been inside the building… 🙁

  4. I second the Scores idea. After getting drunk at the Nets game, my buddies and I could stagger over there and enjoy the company of some well-endowed young ladies.

    (Insert joke about getting hit by a car on Atlantic and Flatbush)
