Tom Fruin, the artist behind the colorful water tower sculptures in Brooklyn, collaborated with local fragrance house Joya to create a multi-sensory installation called All Access Pass. Find Fruin's new 12-foot rooftop tower atop Joya's waterfront space at 499 Van Brunt Street, Building 4A. It's on view through October 12. While you can see the water tower day or night, the studio is open on Thursdays from 12-6pm; Fridays-Sundays from 12-7pm; and by appointment on Monday-Wednesday.

The City's Economic Development Corporation has proposed a redevelopment plan for Brooklyn's Red Hook waterfront that prioritizes market-rate housing while attempting to stabilize remaining port facilities.

Avilés questioned EDC President Andrew Kimball about the traffic implications of the proposed development, highlighting the existing traffic challenges in Red Hook and Columbia Street.

Now the specter of those failed promises looms over the proposal to construct new housing on underused land a little more than 2 miles away.
