Brooklyn Streets, Carroll Gardens reports that a sweet little chunk of real estate fronting Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street is set to be auctioned off on Valentine’s Day (the perfect gift for the developer in your life?). The auction consists of five contiguous parcels between Smith and Boerum Place; the largest of the parcels is the parking lot fronting Atlantic, above, which is right next door to the 66-unit development planned for 252 Atlantic. The parcels fronting Pacific Street, meanwhile, are directly across the street from the 12-story tower slated for 262 Pacific. All together, the package consists of about 80,000 square feet of developable space, and the zoning allows for a residential-retail mix. Anyone care to guess how much this might fetch?

  1. I lived on that block of Pacific for 13 years while the jail was in operation. The prisoners had a very clear view of our building’s roof deck area from the exercise yard on the jail roof. While not a really dangerous or anything, they shouted catcalls and rude stuff whenever we on the roof while the exercise area was in use. It was at times like living next to a construction site.

    Amusing at first but then truly annoying were the guys being taken in to lock-up calling down to their girlfriend standing on Atlantic late at night to “Get the Bail! Get the bail now!” It was colorful, I guess, but ultimately the whole thing a PITA since it did affect our enjoyment of the outdoor space and sometimes our sleep. Before some of you start the lecture about buying that coop in the first place, I will say we were young and the coop was the ONLY thing we could afford. The jail was probably one of a few reasons why we could afford it. The eventual sale of that coop did give us the money for our house. But when we sold, the jail was one definite factor in our brokers pricing and prospective buyers did ask about it. To say its presence doesn’t matter at all would be incorrect.
