One might call the thing growing atop 53 Bridge Street one of the most impressive growths to sprout atop an old building in all of Brooklyn. What’s equally impressive is that the The Thing on 53 Bridge has progressed amazingly well since we last trained our camera on it, especially given the Stop Work Orders and other impediments to speedy growth with which the building has been faced. There is still a partial Stop Work Order on the building as well as fines due, but we must say that the design by Robert Scarano certainly makes a statement.
