What will actually happen to the former Capital One Building at 856 Washington
Despite several unfounded rumors (i.e. Trader Joe's), I can now confirm that this site has been purchased by a developer and financing is presently being sought for a multi-unit residential building.The pro-forma sales estimates are $1300 a sq ft.Unknown at this time if facade will be saved.Prior thread on topic: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/38905/the-former-capital-one-on-washington-at-lincoln/p1 ...8 & 12 Fairview Place#8 and #12 Fairview place just sold for a total of $1.4m.Two unattached wood frames on an otherwise masonry row house block.
