  1. << isn't 262 where biggie grew up?>>

    No. He ‘grew up’ on the block between Fulton and Gates. Then he sold drugs to the citizens of his community, then he rapped about it and made a fortune glorifying violence and misery, then he got shot and killed in the prime of his life.

    No wonder he’s a hero to the community. MLK would be proud!

  3. 260 (the “Portland”) and 262 (the “Dekalb”) where designed/built by J.S. Ashley in 1890, not 1930.

    I’d love to know what the plans are. Is it true they are rent stabilized now? Will they be redeveloped into condos? I see there are guys outside cleaning old rust off the fire escapes in preparation for repainting.

  4. I dont get this sale i have been at this bldg before they sold it and wanted to buy it.
    Must be some Hedge fund or looking for 1031 exchange tax relief otherwise this sale dont make any sense…….

  5. 260-262 St. James Place sold at something like a 4.5% CAP rate. If that’s a steal, I’m sure there are a lot of people in Brooklyn that would like to have their buildings “stolen” from them.
