WILLIAMSBURG?It's been a big week for Williamsburg, with longtime punchline 55 Berry finally selling out and now this: "Just thought I'd let you know some news about Williamsburg scapegoat Northside Piers selling enough units to go condo. I'm not a broker, or a developer...in fact, I bought one of the units because I want to personally destroy Brooklyn (actually I don't). Anyway, I got a letter dated October 5th from the Toll attorney (or rather, Kent Avenue Property 1-B LLC's attorney) saying that they had 'executed and accepted' offering plans on 84 units (46% of the units offered) so the plan is effective, which I guess means we are going condo. No 99 Gold brouhaha for us. I guess a little smoke on the roof really got people interested in the place (since then they had a couple of days where they offered $10,000 off of closing costs, but that was after the 5th.) Well, I'm not sure if they've tooted their own horns in a press release or anything, but I thought I'd let you guys know. I'm sure lots of whiners will have something snarky to say about it. I'm just saving up for curtains." [CurbedWire Inbox]
