340 Court Street was built by the International Longshoremen’s Association, when dockworkers lived in Carroll Gardens, then in the 1990’s was sold to Long Island College Hospital. In 2007, the Clarett Group bought the blue and white building, razed it, started construction in 2008. The construction, expensive housing – townhouses and maisonettes – was not popular in the neighborhood. Work stopped in 2008, and with the exception of a couple days, has not resumed. The blue plywood and viewing windows are similar to another stalled construction site, this time in Manhattan.
