Isn’t that the area where the young man celebrating his bachelor party was shot by the police? Around what used to be the stripper club.
Yes it is! Sean Bell.
Is this development going to be union?
No Alexander, unfortunately now unless it’s over 40 stories or a building of substantial meaning, nothing in the private sector in the highrise industry is union.
Why is it unfortunate?
They need to leave all there high rise buildings for the city point blank.. why build all these hotel then in 6 month it’s a shelter
all this means is that its going to be a homeless shelter. Every new hotel or inn in east ny brooklyn or queens is actually a homeless shelter being filled up by the city who are paying twice the rate for the rooms.
What a scam and NYC taxpayers are footing the bill.
Are some of the apartments subsided.
If not we don’t want it in our neighborhood. It will just drive up the apartments rental
This hotel should not be allowed. We need affordable housing not these developers using the homeless crises to make huge profits
I believe so because it’s nothing better to have a union involved with your project that are certified and with years of training in their training school.
