As 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?

Actually I wish they’d just tear down the whole WSB building. It is too tall, it isnt in context with the low rise nature of Brooklyn, it casts shadows plunging the nearby neighborhood into darkness, it isnt ‘human scale’ and it wasn’t built organically and we dont need anymore expensive condos in Brooklyn
“no more banks -maybe a porn shop”
You gotta chuckle. An upscale porn shop could do very well there, and the tellers cages could divide the merchandise by um, area of interest.
Two Words… Wal-Mart
I think it’s historical, and they have to preserve quite a bit in the lobby, not just the space, but some of the lamps and the entry tables that you find in banks and post offices. It could be tough to convert, and meet the historical requirements.
12:22 and 1:20 same idea.
that’s a superb idea, 1:20 and i agree is would do great there.
a bakery, a cheese shop, wine, sandwiches…
i have a feeling they’d rather just let in one big tenant and be done with it, but i agree and think yours is much better.
There should be a Grand Central Market style space in the banking lobby. With similar types of vendors. Connect it to the subway entrance in the building, and all of Brooklyn would shop there.

if it’s good enough for 15 central park west, it’s good enough for one hanson.
kidding, i’d like to see a gourmet grocery/wine store situation. the area needs something like this desperately.
i can’t get ALL my food at pathmark.
