Way back in 2006, news broke that Williamsburg was getting its first movie theater. Four years later, we check in at 136 Metropolitan, The Metropol, where construction halted in mid-2009 with nary a sign of activity since. A call to David Rogers of Prudential Douglas Elliman – still referenced on the web as the building’s broker though listings disappeared in June of last year – tells us the developer has sold the entire property to an LLC who plans on rentals, not condos, for the nine units above. The sale happened in early February so we’ll keep an eye on this one. Hopefully this ending won’t crush the hearts of indie film-making hipsters all over the ‘Burg. — Jordan Shapiro

I have been wondering for a while what’s going on with this building. Sad that it’s gone rental, but glad it may finally be occupied.
