[thelakelander]

The Hub Brooklyn is preparing to take shape about two years after the Downtown Development Review Board approved the final design 6-0 at its Oct. 8, 2020, meeting.

The city is reviewing permits for three shell buildings at 400 Riverside Ave. at an estimated construction cost of almost $2.5 million.

Danis Construction LLC is the contractor.

Hopefully this place is successful, looks really cool.  They are really going out on a limb with this concept in this market.

Dare I ask if anyone has heard a peep about the Skyway station?

[thelakelander]

I've heard nothing.

Drove by today and it looks like they have broken ground.

[thelakelander]

Yes, they've started. I drove by today as well.

Must be subterranean work being done by mole people.

[Charles Hunter]

They have the concept of a plan to start construction.

It's very Jacksonville. Maybe the DIA needs a plug. They did move some dirt around a few years ago.

The grass has been mowed and some dirt scraped around.
