Banners have gone up on the new apartment building on 3rd Avenue between 7th and 8th streets that we’ve been tracking for a couple years announcing that it’s now to be known as 433 Third. Some pics of the interiors from the website above; a call to Ideal Properties, which is repping the building, informs that they’re shooting for April move-ins and rents are provisionally set in the $1,600- to $3,650-a-month range.

  1. And the 1br START at 2200?! I live literally across the street and pay 1/2 that for a one br (been here for almost 2 years). Also, you can live on 17th st in a 2br WITH a w/d for only 300 more a month. Also right by the subway. For 2200 a month they couldn’t do anything with that exterior? It’s insulting.

  2. Walked by this place a few weeks back with some friends on the way to 4 & 20 Blackbirds (excellent pie!). All agreed that this new building is ugly as sin and just depressing.

    As some have commented, perhaps renters don’t care what the exterior of their building look like, but for the rest of the community whom have to live with this hideous institution like building for a long time, we do mind very much. I’ve heard several neighbors complain at the utter cheapness of it’s look – and I’m not talking wealthy Park Slopers whining either but older residents.

    I think they should paint the whole building a more sympathetic color to blend with it’s neighbors and maybe add a very simple roof cornice.

    Really though, a simple brick faced construction with more vertical windows and I suppose a developer who wasn’t as creatively challenged as the one involved, would have been a smarter way to go – and probably attracted renters willing to pay a few dollars more to live in a slightly better looking building.
