The building boom is alive and well in Prospect Heights on the Prospect Heights/Crown Heights border, thanks in large part to Hello Living, the series of related infill projects on Dean and Pacific Streets. We checked in on their progress last week. Some buildings are occupied, others still in mid-construction. According to Streeteasy, four units at the Hudson, 935 Dean Street, are still on the market between $749,000 and $829,000. Three at the Madison, 925 Pacific Street, are for sale for $749,000 to $1,100,000. And the Sydney, with its plumes of grass peaking over the balconies (see photo), has 11 of its 12 for sale from $425,000 to $600,000, and one in contract, at 957 Pacific Street. Three more buildings, the Montana, Dakota and Austin—not very New York-centric names, are they?—don’t have units listed yet. The average price per square feet dropped at the Hudson, from $649 to $635, but went up at the Madison, from $666 to $677. All will share amenities officially classifiable as luxury, including pool, billiards room, sauna and steam room, parking, kiddie play space, wi-fi lounge and gym. Their marketing scheme refers to it as a “new urban community,” and, indeed, with perks like that, there’ll be little need to leave the complex. Some of the buildings sit on blocks of well-kept row houses; others stand next to more dilapidated structures.
