Brooklyn Properties and Brown Harris Stevens are sharing the brokering duties on a new 15-unit condo listing at 710 Sixth Avenue in Greenwood Heights with an illustrious past. The six-story (plus setback) building just slipped under the wire of the rezoning in 2005 so it’s no surprise it doesn’t exactly blend in. There were lots of violations during construction including weekend work. To cap it off, the architect of this place is the charmer who told members of CB7 that “all your crappy little houses will be gone in 5 years replaced by my beautiful buildings.” Beautiful ain’t exactly the first word that leaps to mind, is it? As for pricing, the two ground-floor duplexes are asking about $400 a foot while one of the top-floor units is listed at about $750 a foot; most of the apartments on the other floors are priced in the mid- to high-$600s. Interestingly, parking spaces here are going for $30,000, a good deal less than the $75,000 price tag over at The Dewitt.
