Definitely possible, but this is Two Trees Development (the Walentas family). They don't do anything half-assed, and they don't do bait-and-switch.
They're the family that owns and developed most of Dumbo, and they built the Enrique Norton designed Mercedes House in Manhattan. They also did the luxury Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn, which is one of the nicest new hotels in NYC.
