There is demolition and new building action to report at the far end of Court Street. A GL reader sent us these photos of 517 Court, which is at the corner of Ninth Street, and is clearly coming down. At the same time, demolition permits have been issued for 523, 525 and 527 Court, slightly down the block. The properties are owned by two different corporations and are independent projects. An application has been filed for the long, narrow Court Street corner property pictured here. The initial application was rejected (as often happens before plans are approved), but it is for a six-story building, 70-feet-tall that would have 11,458 square feet of space. Meanwhile, 523-525-527 Court will be a seven-story building with 33,000 square feet and 18 units designed by Henry Radusky’s Bricolage Designs.

that block is shaking. luna rossa across the street, sofo bar changed ownership (and names to vendetta) and got rid of the miscreants, and the new condos at the end of the block wisely decided to go rental ($2900 for 2br?!) and appears to have a kickboxing gym moving in…

Also, one block north, a wine shop is rumored to be opening in the previously vacant space next to Destination Real Estate.

Jesus. Is that right? $2900 for a two bedroom? Which building is that? I suddenly feel much better about what I paid for a two bedroom in the area.
