As Here’s Park Slope noted a couple weeks ago, the development on the corner of St. Johns and 5th Avenue that will have four floor-through units and a ground-floor retail space is starting to reveal itself. The only listing that’s popped up so far is for the 1,600-square-foot duplex commercial space: Yours for $12,000, according to StreetEasy.

  1. I like it, not so much for the result as for the effort. I’m just tired of having new mean bland most of the time. That being said I thought the design of the windows was pretty crazy until I saw how much glass is being used in the back half of the building. But they will not get $12,000 for the commercial space, not even in their dreams.

  2. This is very fugly regardless of location – with fugly sprinkles on top. And yes, it has all its stories, just like in the rendering. Way more fenestration than in the original rendering. We’ll see what it looks like when it gets “glassy” – but I am not holding my breath.
