Tribeca Building Really Unfrozen; Star Brokers Jump Ship

TRIBECA?Is this really 240 West Broadway? Our tipster tells us it is. Our shock comes from the fact that work only restarted on the tiny residential project a few months back. Not long before, the site sold, and FLAnk's original avant-garde design got dumped. The replacement is already this far along? Who's got renderings? [CurbedWire Inbox]

BROKERVILLE?Brokers Frederik Eklund and John Gomes, who left CORE after reportedly striking deals to star on Bravo's upcoming Million Dollar Listing reality show (CORE already has Selling New York on the HGTV airwaves), have landed at Prudential Douglas Elliman. That's the on-the-surface stuff. Here's the gossip. Scandal-averse HGTV wouldn't have Eklund on its airwaves because of the porn thing, which is why Gomes was on season 1 of the show showing off some Eklund listings. Eklund landed the Bravo thing, Gomes followed, and the noncompete due to Selling New York led them both to Elliman's warm embrace. And that's your industry gossip for the year.
