Donald Capoccia Talks Toren Turkey

Don Capoccia, the man behind Toren, Downtown Brooklyn’s splashiest new residential development (and a longtime Brownstoner advertiser), was the subject of a Q&A in The Times over the weekend. What did we learn?

Capoccia reports that they’ve ” done 20 contracts in the last 12 days,” though we’re not sure if that means they’ve sent out 20 contracts or buyers have signed 20 contracts; we suspect the former. He also used the opportunity to perpetuate a rumor that Lebron James had been looking at the penthouse unit.
Interview With BFC’s Donald A. Capoccia [NY Times]

A little embarrassed to admit this (I hated Gehry’s AY renditions) but I’m also a fan of the 76-story Beekman Tower in lower Manhattan.
Yeah, I was discussing Boozer this morning (Didn’t know he was free – time flies. Make good for leaving Cavs.). Wade stays. jj? (can’t quite crack the ‘dope code)
