Back in Business at 163 Washington Avenue
Judging from the photos we received from a tipster yesterday, work has resumed at 163 Washington Avenue, the controversial 18-story project in Clinton Hill that has rankled neighbors for its height and politicians for its lack of affordable housing over the last year.

Judging from the photos we received from a tipster yesterday, work has resumed at 163 Washington Avenue, the controversial 18-story project in Clinton Hill that has rankled neighbors for its height and politicians for its lack of affordable housing over the last year. With three months one month to go before the 421-a deadline, it’s looking like the developers will have no problem finishing the foundation. Despite rumors of possible behind-the-scenes compromises, the most recent DOB filing still refers to an 18-story structure (which is, by the way, designed by Karl Fischer).

I hope they don’t bring their Park Slope prices here. the need to do their RESEARCH
it’s a shame this fool got talked into building this POS building, both for him and for the neighborhood. watching him finish this folly is going to be like watching someone lose his shirt. so does everyone think we’re going to be seeing lots of “luxury” renters moving into this location?? HA HA HA!!!!!!
12:23, if no one’s biting, lower your bloody rent
boooo hissss
great more inventory for Clinton Hill. This will have a wonderful effect on rental rates in the area if we have a down turn. Anybody else have a place sitting on the rental market with no takers?
and hopefully it will be.
…and the foundation does not have to completed, like vesting for a zoning change. Construction only has to have started and be fully approved.
Try ONE month to go until the 421a deadline. The deadline is June 30th, 2008, which is a little more than 30 days away.
