*Construction at the Clarett site at 340 Court Street has been stopped
*Developer Bill Stein of 360 Smith Street has not resumed his Oliver House though the Board Of Standards And Appeals exempted his project from the Wide Street Text Amendment
*The Toll Brothers are "threatening" to walk away from their Gowanus Canal project should the EPA declare the canal a Superfund site
but...
the Karl Fisher-designed 'finger' at 100 Luquer Street rose to 11 stories on the fringes of the neighborhood.
And what an eyesore it is. The building towers over the neighboring townhouses like a bad joke.
Construction has been going on for quite a while. Though a few sides of the building look mostly completed, the back is still wide open. Frankly, it doesn't look as though there has been much progress since I last wrote about it back in December '08.
If this isn't a poster child for down-zoning and land-marking, I don't know what is!
