Akeeb Shekoni of Queens-based Akson Architect is listed as the architect... and the building's owners are the vague 399 E8 Development LLC.

Here's a rendering…



And about that graffiti-free plywood? Sometimes you just have to ask…

    Surprised that sign hasn't attracted taggers from all over the five boroughs.

    Speaking of graffiti-free plywood, anyone know what's going on at Optics? After the cab smashed through the storefront they had half of it plywooded up, now the whole front it covered. It's been a while since the accident, guess I'm just hoping this didn't send them out of business.

    Will there be a steep hill in front of that ghastly building?
