Work Begins at Williamsburg Hotel; Willy Beav Ready to Rent

WILLIAMSBURG?Work is underway at Two Trees's contribution to the Williamsburg hotel mini-boom, the yet-to-be-named inn at 80 Wythe Avenue. We've heard occasional reports of lights being on inside(!), and there's some sidewalk shed action. The 73-room hotel was made possible when Emmitt Smith fumbled his Harlem handout.

FINANCIAL DISTRICT?Rose Associates has sent out a press release announcing that the William Beaver House nondos are ready for rent. The leasing office is open from 10-6 daily on the 40th floor of the Post-It Note Building. Prices are just what the Times said they would be, except for 1BRs, which start at $3,295 per month, not $3,200. Will there be more demand than when these were offered for sale? [CurbedWire Inbox]
