Big news in Downtown Brooklyn! Toren, the 240-unit, SOM-designed tower at Flatbush and Myrtle Avenues, just received approvals from both FHA and Fannie Mae, which means that it’ll be much easier for first-time buyers to step up to the plate. As for folks who’ve already bought in the 38-story building (it’s currently 50% sold), the TCO was recently issued, making it possible for the first wave of buyers to start moving in. Most exciting of all, these early inhabitants will be able to take a dip in the just-completed pool. We’ve got the first photo of the never-before-seen pool below.

“if people can’t afford to buy, go F’ing rent. The avalon bldg is pretty nice, it’s nearby, etc. I’m already paying enough taxes, etc. so in no mood to subsidize someone to live in a luxury hi-rise.”
You own an apartment, do you not M4L?
Then we are all subsidizing your mortgage interest deduction.
and if this fails as a condo, it’ll be a rental so don’t worry about it being empty.
be more concern about a bldg sitting empty if construction wasn’t completed and developer, banks, etc. all walk away – that would be empty

“do you think the designer ever has in mind where the furniture will be placed???”
NO. NEVER. This is one of my big pet peeves. Clearly whoever designs all these buildings has never actually lived in a NYC apartment, or any apartment.
I use the wheel…really fun. I basically only play Mariokart or the tennis/bowling/baseball.
Never tried the gamecube controller…that’s for the Wii??
Sorry all this should be in the OT…
oh snap, ok i just realized where you were going with that, squarepants
11217, do you use the wheel, just the wiimote, or a gamecube controller? i liked using the gamecube controller the best for some reason. i still have all the other mario karts that came out, but the wii one was really really good.
i <3 rainbow road!!

Kart, of course. How could I be so stupid. 🙂
I played it for about 4 hours straight one night last week. My fingers went numb.
