Brooklyn Bridge Park Updates!

The latest we've heard from the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy is that construction on Pier 2 and 3 is moving forward! The pic above is of the future Pier 3.  Don't get too excited though.  We will have a long wait until those parks are finished.  Construction is expected to extend until Fall 2013.  Something you can expect right now is that the temporary greenway walking and bike path has moved course to accommodate these plans.  It "has shifted east directly adjacent to Furman Street. The new alignment begins just north of Pier 2 and continues south to Montague Street, where it connects with the existing path".  In case you can't remember that, there are also signs at both ends to instruct pedestrians and bikers of the changes.  At least when you see the signs it will remind you that new parks are coming at some point!!!

4 years after breaking ground

4 Years after breaking ground 115 Kane Street still has not opened its doors to new residents.
Corcoran listed these units as rentals for a hot minute over a year ago and almost immediately pulled the listings after a CofO issue.
It looks like this issue still hasn't been resolved because the building still sits vacant. I know that the DOS is backed up but what is going on?!

Looks like they still don't have their ducks in row!
Also to put a rumor to rest this is not one of Gino Vitale's buildings!
Anyone else know what happened?
I have rented most of the unit at the building behind it on Hicks street and they got top of the line windows so the apartments aren't that loud. I can't say the same for the non-usable outdoor space.

Where have I been?

I have been getting on the F train at Carroll Street over the last couple weeks and was shocked to find this building at the Bergen Street station on the corner of Warren and Smith the other day. How did this get built so fast and what is going here? Looks like the firs floor will be retail and maybe apartments above. I bet you'll be able to feel the train rumbling in your sleep!
