WILLIAMSBURG?Our man in Williamsburg updates us on the neighborhood's great hope: "It appears the one true runaway success in Williamsburg this year - the Mason Fisk - is now coming to life. People seem to have moved in. Check out this picture....it's a little hard to see, but you can see yellow flowers (and some white curtains which seem of the temporary kind). I saw light in this apartment Sunday night, also in the window on the top left." We checked the usual sources and didn't see any closings yet, but there's usually some lag between the actual closing and the deed hitting public record. [CurbedWire Inbox]
RIDGEWOOD?The very cool and very debated Times Building out in the Queens/Brooklyn border lands is doing well, a tipster who claims to have spoken with the developer tells us: Over 50% in contract @ 425 psf avg. Ground floor retail rented to national appliance chain. Would have liked a quicker response on units upstairs but things seem to be going apace." [CurbedWire Inbox]
