> Playing the long game: United American Land, has spent more than $90 million on the Downtown assemblage, according to public records.

> The developer’s firm, United American Land, has pieced together nearly 43,000 square feet across 15 lots sandwiched between Jay, Fulton, Lawrence and Willoughby streets, which would allow for roughly 516,000 square feet of buildable floor area.
> 
> Now Laboz is vying for another parcel on the block — 56 Willoughby — according to a source familiar with the effort, although Laboz told _The Real Deal_ he “wasn’t aware” of that. The property would add 1,800 square feet to Laboz’s assemblage and more than 21,000 square feet in buildable space.

Good thing about this block is that there are no really remarkable buildings which can’t be said about every block in downtown BK
