Is the Copper Building all sold out?

Haven't paid much attention to the Copper Building (ol' Rusty!) on Avenue B and 13th Street since we were, uh, duped by some phonie interior photos in December... I thought about the Big Copper yesterday after seeing it all gleamy in the distance.




So I went to see how many units were still on the market...and after searching, I couldn't find any active listings......there appear to be eight units in contract right now...

Oh, meanwhile, there are some X's on the windows! Something possibly X-Files related about this?

This used to be the site of a Pioneer Supermarket. Each Pioneer had their own slogan on the facade; this particular branch's was "Where the Elite Buy Their Meat". The few times I went into it in the early 1980s, the whole place reeked of unchanged cat litter, and looked like it had last been cleaned during Calvin Coolidge's presidency. But ya know, I'd still rather see that there than this piece of putrid crap, which fits SO WELL and SENSITIVELY into its surroundings.
