The Future of the Real World House

0209rwpier.jpg As The Real World Brooklyn airs on MTV, and many of the roommates are scattered about New York, real estate vultures are honing in on the Pier that housed the eight strangers. The Brooklyn Paper reports that the historic Pier 41 warehouse may "become a catering hall run by renowned restaurateur Buzzy O’Keeffe." The news comes from Fairway developer and owner of the site, Greg O'Connell, who "announced the proposal for a high-end wedding hall on Tuesday at the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable, a regular gathering of industry powerhouses." While the deal isn't final, he is involved in negotiations that could soon allow you to say your vows in the house of Viacom. Don't expect to see any of the IKEA decor however, it's been sold off on Craigslist.

    That building is zoned commercial so there is no way people could live there, I guess since it was used for a television show, MTV snuck in on a technicality.

  • Papercutninja

    While we all wish it were over, it's not a live show, so chances are it was finished filming by the time the first episode went to air.
