anybody see the ad for this hanging in front of a skinny lot between dykes lumber and a red building on jackson ave near 44 drive?  i checked the website but, as usual, no info other than a pic.  (kimayalofts.com)  anybody know the details on this one?

been wondering when we would here about this site. 1 block from arris. thought it would be condo, sounds cool, 18 ft ceilings, that sounds cool.  never realized how amazing it is to have high ceilings until i moved to arris.  i go to my old apt now (my friend lives there) and i can't believe how cramped i feel.

Fingers of the Year
Just when we were running out of Fingers, because most of them were put up 2007, the Original Finger Building came through in December with a buyout by HSBC and a ruling that will allow it to go to its fully Robert Scarano-designed 17 stories just off Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. Second Place goes to the Soliel, an under-the-radar finger which had been known at The Finger of S. 1 Street. Finally, a Hot Karl Fischer finger on Humboldt Street was branded the SkyHigh and put on the market as a rental. Oh, and there's also this Kimaya Lofts thing in Long Island City. Sadly, given the state of the market, the Brooklyn Finger could be a dying breed.
