Name Change for Finger Building

As we reported back in January, the much-maligned finger building at 133 North 7th Street in Williamsburg changed hands for $8,000,000 at the end of last year. In addition to finishing the construction and hunting for a tenant for the 20,000-square-foot retail space, the new owner, GFI, is also engaging in some rebranding, reports the Daily News. The 17-story flip-of-the-bird to the nabe shall henceforth be known (officially) as the Albero. It’s worth a try!
