What once housed the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, a slew of dentist offices, and now luxury condos, will take on yet another purpose: wedding hall. The Brooklyn Paper reports that "the landmark ground floor of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank building will open in September as a sumptuous catering hall for weddings." Mmm sumptuous. They'll also host your bar mitzvahs, corporate Christmas party, or any other high-end special events. Prices start at $15,000 to book the beautiful space in Fort Greene, which will be called the Clocktower at One Hanson (despite being many floors below the clocktower); the booker called that figure "Brooklyn-sensitive pricing." more ›

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. more ›
