97-South-Portland-0708.jpg
South Portland Avenue is getting a new addition. At 97 South Portland, between Lafayette and Fulton, a five-story residential building was just approved on the site of a former garden center. (This is not the same block of South Portland that won the best block award from TimeOutNY a couple of years ago.) Given that the total height of the structure is 48 feet, don’t expect the kind of ceiling heights typically found in this part of town. (This site falls outside of the Fort Greene Historic District. Unfortunately.) In fact, based upon this architect’s other projects, it doesn’t seem like you should expect much at all. Let’s hope our pessimism is misplaced. GMAP P*Shark DOB

  1. “What, Sniff, no retort? What, have you taken a break to get your 4th cup of coffee for the day?”

    No. The big story is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You are watching a depression unfold in real time. The Bulls argument of a heathy and robust Real Estate market has come to a end. I think the next 90 days will be very challenging for everyone and I don’t see where things will get better. You see Brownstoner started the Log-in thing to keep people posting. It was NOT about spamming or trolling. Most Real Estate Hype Blogs (Like this one) will see a significant decline in posting and traffic. So enjoy the weekend and I see you on Monday!

    Bush administration officials are considering putting at least one company under the full control, or conservatorship, of government regulators,

    If this happens the Bond market will implode….

    BTW My third cup. LMAO!

    The What

    Someday people will wake up…

  2. don’t bother looking around the web for his B-arch degree because there probably isn’t one. Anyone can sit for the licensing exams after they prove to the state that they’ve been a drafting drone for at least +/-10 years prior.

  3. What’s most amazing with Landis Dooley is that he basically designs THE SAME STRUCTURE over and over again with slightly different crapola bells and whistles each time.

    I think it’s safe to say that we can count on an inverse “V” roofline and some vinyl Palladian windows on this new project.

  4. 12:10 guest, nope. Your post is too boring for me to respond really, other than to remind you to please remember to register (and get yourself spayed or neutered while you’re at it).

    We won, get over it. Or don’t and keep typing your final faded type trolling messages.
