Given its location, don’t be surprised if you end up bidding against Bruce Ratner himself.

Atlantic Yards Effect = money for homeowners
um, obviously that was written with tongue firmly implanted in cheek…
bruce could buy this as a construction hq. has to beat GE rented trailers!
You kiddin?
Those trailers are nice, they have a.c.
modern plumbing, great built-ins, no mice or roaches, and no stoop to climb.
I don’t think Mr. R will trade in his trailer for this pile of heartache.
11:12, I’m not geographically challenged! Still, no reason for Ratner to buy, including as the construction field office. For one, the contractors pay for the trailers. Secondly, FCRC has plenty of space across the street in Atlantic Center. I’m not usually one to jump on the (I assume intentionally) provocative things that Brownstoner writes, but I did this time….
It is not landmarked.

If my memory is any good, I think this property was previously in foreclosure ten years ago. I remember going to Adams Street to try to bid on it and it was withdrawn from the sale. I later found out that the owners got some last minute financing to stop the process. Beautiful corner building with a lot of potential.
10:36, i think brownstoner was referring to the fact that this house is right next to the atlantic yards.
Someone tell Zach we found his Walt Whitman shooting location.
