See BEACON on page 5 The Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund, which incor- porates Johnson’s development company —which also has another luxury condominium project in progress in Park Slope, at 45 Park Place — “focus- es on the development of urban properties in under- served neighborhoods,” according to a press re- lease by the company. They teamed up with the Dermot Co. to pur- chase the building. One report had the price tag at $71 million, although that could not be confirmed by press time. From the time it was built in 1929 until 1962, the Williamsburgh Bank building’s four-sided clock was the largest in the nation. A city landmark, the grand limestone building, which combines Ro- manesque and Byzantine elements, is overdue for a facelift. Besides HSBC bank, which sold the tower and will vacate its eight floors, the building houses the offices of many dentists. Aproject manager for Canyon-Johnson, Bobby Turner, said he saw the Williamsburgh tower op- portunity as “unrivaled” and “unbelievable.” “The whole mandate of the fund that we manage is to revitalize densely populated and ethnically di- / Tom Callan / Tom

Some of the co-operators patronizing the Union Market said they were coming down the block for convenience’s sake. One Union Market shopper who has been a co-op member, Lindy Friedman, said she would still shop at the co-op, if she didn’t have to donate the time. “If I didn’t have to be a member and could just pay the extra I’d do that,” said Friedman. The co-op’s Holtz said it isn’t for people who don’t want to con- tribute their labor. “Unless you’re disabled, we require you to work. I think that’s part of the strength about the co-op.” He said the question of open- ing the co-op to the general public has not come up at the co-op’s monthly meetings. “The main reason people leave the co-op is because they move away,” he said. “The second most frequent reason is that people can’t keep up with the work. That reason existed in 1978, that rea- son existed in 1998 and it will exit in 2008. There are some people whose lives dictate that they can’t be a member of the co-op. “I can’t be one who says what people should do with their lives. Ronald I. Teichman, D.D.S.
