Development Watch: Race Against Clock at 163 Wash
The clock is ticking at 163 Washington where the developers are trying to get the foundation for their 17-story as-of-right tower before City Planning approves the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene rezoning at its June 25th meeting.

4:35 i lived in Clinton Hill-Ft. Greene years before you moved in (yes you, outsider) and you can go right to hell.
Ya, food poisoning from Sprinkles was a treat back then.
I lived in Clinton Hill-Ft.Green for 10 years before they gentrified it.It used to be a nice neighborhood before outsiders moved in. All of you people can go right to hell.
You people are annoying.
I’m sure you favor the telegraph to those new cell phones too.
And forget those fancy electric subway trains, bring back the coal powered locomotive!!
Stop sitting in your dark gloomy CH brownstone with “original” detail and open your eyes. Some places actually benefit from this type of development
“hole” not “whole.”
Though, perhaps I was thinking you could fall the “whole” way in the “hole.”

Great anon 5:17pm. No need to help out man, the GC’s been doing it all on his own. Early mornings (illegal), nights (illegal) and weekends (illegal).
Perhaps you could stand close to the whole and watch…don’t fall in!
Kum Kau is already overworked! How will they ever produce enough chinese food for the nabe if this place is built?
hehe
In all seriousness, I am not opposed to one such building going up, if thats all it will be, though I admit I would be furious if it blocked my light. That particular block is not in desperate need of development, I could think of many others nearby that are though.
I live in CH and I fully support the project. I hope the developer succeeds in getting the foundation down before the deadline. For those of us who support high density development in the area, how can we help out? I’d love to through on my construction hat, grab a sturdy shovel and help out with the digging. I say we take back the night and stop these NIMBYS dead in their tracks!
I love the renderings and think the development would bring about a lot of new projects to the area. Yes, Myrtle has made some gains but it still sucks! I say Supersize it and bring it on!
yeah, dude! developers are evil doers! off with their heads!
man, this is like the ’60s all over again! let’s take to the streets and riot!
