Williamsburgh Savings Bank building lobby to become catering hall

Sign Up for the undefined Newsletter

Manhattan promoter Jennifer Blumin is leasing the landmarked ground floor lobby of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank building, at 1 Hanson Place, and plans to use the space as a catering hall for weddings and other large events. The space, located on the ground floor of the historic 37-story skyscraper in Fort Greene, was most recently an HSBC Bank branch. Now, the lofty space with vaulted ceilings and marble tables will be available for events starting at $15,000 a night, which Blumin calls “Brooklyn-sensitive pricing.” Her permits are not finalized yet, but Blumin hopes to have a capacity for 1,000 people in the 15,000-square-foot location. One Hanson Place was converted into a residential building in 2006 by
Dermot Company and the Canyon-Johnson Urban Funds.
