We think it may be safe to call this the slowest Karl Fischer building going up in all of Brooklyn. The building is at N. 8 & Roebling, only a few blocks from the architect’s master work on Karl Fischer Row, and work has been going on since late 2006 (a basement was never excavated). The green stuff on the exterior has been there most of the year, but what will cover it hasn’t show up. In the meantime, it looks like interior has been going on and some windows have been installed. Very little progress that is visible to the eye has happened since we checked it on Curbed a little over a month ago. (Well, to be fair, more windows have been added.) Although, we’re willing to admit that maybe our eyesight isn’t so good and that the real work may be going inside where it can’t be seen. Still, where the heck are the windows and the rest of the facade? If it’s done before the Dow drops to 5,000 there will be 53 units to sell and/or rent.
