All Along the Watchtower: Construction plans okayed for former Witnesses’ buildings in DUMBO
Eye On Real Estate
The new owners of five former Watchtower buildings in DUMBO are getting their ducks in a row so they can start turning the coveted properties into offices for techies.
In late January, Aby Rosen and Michael Fuchs, top execs of RFR, filed a flurry of documents seeking the city Buildings Department’s okay for renovation and reconstruction work at the erstwhile Jehovah’s Witnesses properties, online records indicate.
The city agency has already approved plan exams for mechanical and plumbing work and the removal of interior partitions at the buildings, whose addresses are 55 Prospect St., 81 Prospect St., 117 Adams St., 77 Sands St. and 175 Pearl St.
