The stalled 15-story condominium project at 809 Broadway is finally rising and nearly topped out. It's the same project that caused bad blood between its developer Ariel Rom and adjacent building owner Ben Shaoul (known luxury developer) and resulted in the latter getting served with a breach of agreement lawsuit for allegedly impeding work on construction. Nearly a year later and the project has changed significantly. While there will still be a residential component, it will now include just two apartments (originally ten) on the top levels and floors 2-12 will hold office space. It looks like Rom is taking a cue from Mayor de Blasio's plan to transform Union Square to the city's next tech hub.

809 Broadway is a conversion and addition to a long-standing five-story building that was owned by and served as the headquarters of Blatt Billiards since 1972. Rom, acting as part of 809 Broadway Holding LLC, bought the building for $24M in 2013.
