I called up the number and this dude answers the phone “Viscaya” (i.e. the folks behind the much maligned Casa Viscaya are apparently behind Kimaya as well). I ask him for info on the Kimaya lofts and he says that project has been put on hold. So I ask, “What does that mean?” As in there is no decision point in the near future.

Just a statement about the market these days in LIC. Don’t believe the hype.

IT sits between Dykes Lumber and Mr. Wonton, but it also is next to the building behind Mr. Wonton. That building has strange smoke stacks coming out of the roof and on certain days (but mostly nights) they burn something that is putrid in smell.

At one point they had some kind of runoff water running directly out of the building walls onto the lot where this building is being built. When the lot was bought they fixed the leak but I am am sure the damage is done.

All around where it come out the grass died and the trees all lost there leaves. I called 311 a few times but nothing happened. But I would demand to see the soil samples from this property before I bought anything here.

This is another project, I’ve personally known about but has flown under the radar for awhile. Its going to be raw loft space rather then this loft-like crap developers are pushing.
