As Curbed reported at the end of July, the Scarano project at Myrtle and Nostrand that we’ve been tracking since August 2005 recently did an about-face and went rental, like some others have already done. (This switcheroo follows a name change from Myrtle Place to MYNT.) In addition to posing the question of how far east real estate brokers are willing to push the Clinton Hill border in the name of making a buck (Nostrand? Come on…), this raises the far more pressing issue of whether, in fact, there are people out there willing to pay $2,700 a month to shack up in a one-bedroom on the corner of Myrtle and Nostrand. To be fair, there are several one bedrooms at 756 Myrtle that fall just shy of the $2,000 mark, a level at which we suspect there will be significant demand. Apts & Lofts currently has 41 of the 72 units listed on its website. Has anyone signed up to rent one yet? When’s the move-in date?
