Singularity & Co opened on Thursday, August 9, 2012 at 18 Bridge Street in Dumbo. They are a sci-fi bookstore that not only collects and sells out of print, out of circulation, and rare sci-fi books, but also works to “digitally rescue” them by tracking down the copyright holder and/or author (if they’re still around), acquire or otherwise clear the copyright, and publish the title both online and as an e-book, for little or no cost. The Verge has a nice summary of the store and opening.

Singularity & Co. (singularityand.co)
18 Bridge Street, 1G, Brooklyn NY 11201
Open Wed-Sun 1pm-7pm (or by popular demand)

Pearl Street Triangle is getting a new coat of yellow paint. Yellow should be much more visible for the satellites.

UPDATE: According to the Dumbo Improvement District, yellow is not the final color. “Artist David Ellis is painting the Pearl Street Triangle in layers. The mural will be completed next week (weather permitting), and each day of the installation, the work will go through a new transformation as Ellis improvises and paints new layers of design onto the surface of the Triangle.” Cool.

Rental: 39 Pearl Street, 4th Floor

pearl and plymouth street

It’s not often you see a rental pop up at 39 Pearl Street. So when Brownstoner posted the rental of the day last week, it caught our eyes. This 3,200 square foot, 4 bedroom rental is asking $6,500. This is a (increasingly) rare original loft space in Dumbo with an open floor plan. The listing (by owner) says:

The loft is an amazing one of a kind 3,200 sqft open floor plan apartment in the heart of Dumbo. This unique space is on the fourth floor in a pre-war elevator building. Features include: brick, five large windows facing north and 4 large windows facing east, great light, concrete floors, brand new kitchen appliances, huge cutting board, lots of storage space and 160 year old cherry wood columns, beams and buttress. Kitchen features an Italian multi-colored slate tiled kitchen counter, and an industrial style stainless steel prep counter island in the kitchen. Bathroom features include Italian multi-colored slate, antique pedestal sink and claw foot bathtub.

The asking seems high, but for the amount of space, you’re paying around half per square foot ($24) compared to other full service buildings in Dumbo such as 100 Jay ($50 per sqft avg), 30 Main ($49 per sqft avg), or 70 Washington ($47 per sqft avg). This raw-like space is not for everyone, but we love the space and columns/beams.
