Real Estate Round-Up: November 6, 2007
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Sarah Ryley
An article about vanity addresses coming to Brooklyn mentions one of the borough's worst:
Many of the buildings within developer Bruce Ratner’s MetroTech, constructed during a time when Jay and Willoughby streets were probably synonymous with “holdup,” have addresses on MetroTech Center, not an actual street. The actual sequence of those addresses makes no logical sense (6 MetroTech Center is not across the street from 7 MetroTech Center, it’s up the street and around the corner).
NoLandGrab: Of course the numbering of MetroTech's buildings make no logical sense — the office campus is not designed to be people friendly and certainly, at the time, no one was sure that the entire project would ever be built out.
