This space is right by my house and I have been taking pictures of its transition. This used to be a broken down four car garage located on Norman between Manhattan and Lorimer. There are a couple others like it, also on Norman but they continue to be broken down garages.
A commenter on my previous postabout this space suggested it could be new apartments, but I don’t know if I agree with that.…

Why your support matters
Rumor has is one will be a caterer with box lunches.. and the other, alas.. A COFFEE PLACE! Seems your fingers can uncross themselves.
this comes from my cousin who lives around the corner.
Better having a living room right on the street than your bedroom (I know from firsthand experience!)
I have some shots of this from last summer somewhere, will have to go look for them. I don’t live near this, but I’m certainly around this area enough to vote for a good coffee place too!
My buddy lives next door. Confirmed on the catering part but I don’t think they know what they are using the rest of the space for yet. May put in some tables.
the ghost
If i were to live there, my front door would not be glass. That convinces me that it’s a business and not a home.
I live there. Plan is Coffee Shop on one side and private gourmet kitchen in the other. Permits permitting.
Oh nice! I’m glad we got to the bottom of that, I hope you get your permits!
My landlords permits, not mine. But I hope so too.
Whoa, wait a minute, you mean you don’t go to Starbucks? (!)
great post! i have been so curious!
I heard a rumor that they will have a wide beer selection and growlers – like brouwerij lane. Hmmmm. so interesting.
