It’s not just the east side that can feature vaporware the in the $2 million plus category, even though we might not feature such plush Kohler fixtures (but, really, Kohler? Remember when they were ‘The Bold Look of Kohler?’ Please. I’m sure TriBeCa is all about Grohe). Over here, we have the numerically similar 116 Hudson, which is sporting a new banner with an indistinct rendering, but the website is woefully underdeveloped (considering they are well into construction, and 115 Allen hasn’t broken ground yet), and you can blame the folks at Stribling for that (this might be an indication of the relative marketability of the two projects: namely, that one doesn’t need to try real hard around here, net-wise). I had read that DeNiro owns the extant building (it will be a retrofit of an existing building and new construction), though the tax filings don’t reveal this explicitly. (I mentioned it previously, I still haven’t found hard fact). Why this matters is opaque to me, but people get a charge out of celebrity, and I do find it perversely fascinating just how much of this neighborhood he might actually own. Anyway, we’ll sit tight until the Stribling folks get us a site and a decent rendering, and we will launch some $4 million catfight with those poseurs over on the East Side [insert finger snapping here].

They do it over there, but they don’t do it here.
