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.
