nv-101-north-5th-street-1109.jpg
Remember the upbeat news back in May that the NV had sold 17 out of its 40 units in the first four months of the year? Well, now the glassy new development at 101 North 5th Street has sold another 17 (according to the sales agent), bringing the percentage sold up to 85 percent. Ah, to be a condo development and be at least 50-percent sold.

  1. i think this is a pic of the real place. it’s very surreal”ish” in person. anything in north burg near the L will sell better than other areas. street parking is easier a bit north and east for sure. pretty soon street parking will get very tough unless all the new buildings offer parking lots or garages. there are so many new people moving in to north WB. warehouse 11 has a huge parking structure that’s half finished. will be interesting to see if that building figures out it’s financials and comes back on the market. it’s a big place (seems finished!) and although over-priced appeared to be well done. assume it would rent out quickly.

  2. crimsonson — It’s just troubling that I can’t figure out if the object I’m looking at in the photo is real or not. Of course I’d visit… don’t generally spend more than $6 without seeing first.

  3. My friend just closed and moved in to this place.

    Its a nice apt, good size for a singleton, and no leaks so far. He got the parking spot thrown in for free so it worked out as a pretty good deal.

    I pointed out to him, as he’s a worrier by nature, that the NV sits in a pretty choice spot – he gets to live in prime Billyburg while remaining 1 block off the craziness that’s the N 6th corridor, 2 blocks from the Bedford bedlam and 3 blocks from the L train – so the commute into Manhattan is miniscule.

    And the parking spot really is key, while it used to be easy to park around there and it still is during off-peak hours, weekend nights are becoming a pain.

  4. Well what is the listed price of the spot? $35K? $55k? Storage units, depending on size, are non starter. Many new dev condos have them standard.

    On their site they have matching program for the Fed tax credit. That is up to $16k. So we can safely say roughly 5%-10% worth of concessions. So that effectively results in $650 /sqft.

    Pretty good in this economy and that it is in Willy-B.

    Good for them.
