We never had particularly high hopes for the Verdi, a seven-unit condo at 82 Adelphi Street, but we don’t even know what to make of how it’s turning out. It’s a mix of generic-looking brick and an over-the-top swaths of blue mosaic tile. Huh? To make matters worse, the two horizontal silos on the top floor are just plain strange. Remarkably, Corcoran’s showing that two of the units are already in contract, one them at about $600 a foot, the other for well north of that. Who’s paying that kind of dough for this odd-ball design on one of Fort Greene’s less scenic blocks?
