A Lid on 30 Henry Street, Brooklyn Heights

Photo by MK Metz
Before the snow hit this past weekend builders put a plywood roof on the deep pit dug at 30 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights, the site of the past home of the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper.

The project will eventually be a 5-story condo. It's design was called "boring" and “a mishmash of contextualism" by the Brooklyn Heights Association.

The Brooklyn Eagle has moved to offices in DUMBO and at 16 Court Street in Downtown Brooklyn.

  1. Why would any company in their right mind move offices to DUMBO with the high rent in the neighborhood.

  6. There are still some reasonable rents in DUMBO if you're flexible.

  7. add to previous comment - that is, commercial, not housing. Housing is sky high.
