I do like a happy ending.
I looked at the market rate units. I’m not sure how they differ from the affordable units, but they were really nicely done. Smart layouts and good spaces. Everything was gutted and rebuilt.
quikazoid, saw a few pics when these were advertised on craigslist. inside looks like the new construction units – clean lines but pre-war details at all
guikazoid…
I’m assuming they are complete gut rehabs. The properties were abandoned for decades and infested with squatters.
The property looks great…Before I became A Crown Heights Lady I was A Clinton Hill lady and walked by those buildings daily…what an eyesore. They have truely come a long way. NICE JOB PACC!

hahaha
any pictures of what they look like inside?
I’m also very glad they kept the facades as intact as possible, allowing for new changes in building codes, handicapped access, etc. This is a great set of buildings, and I especially love the huge arch in the middle. There are only a few brownstones in Brooklyn with an arch like this. I had actually planned a Walkabout feature identifying them, which was scheduled for later this year.
Loved that they saved a truly beautiful building and didn’t put up an ugly fedders box. Proving again, you can renovate great old buildings reasonably and well.
