Three Mixed-Use Buildings Rising at Putnam and Bedford in Bed Stuy [Brownstoner]
Claustrophobic, closet-less and expensive. Awful.
These layouts are crap; horrible use of space. The “one beds” would have made reasonably size studios. I would have ditched the island for an L shaped kitchen (flipping the stove to where the fridge is) and giving folks more flexibility to have a real table etc. I thought for a minute that the two bedroom duplex would work as a comfortably sized one bed – but even that would take work. The full bath on the main floor should be a powder room. The first floor bedroom should be eliminated. Closets need to be added to both floors. And the second floor bathroom seems oddly situated.
But they’re new and have reasonable looking finishes so they’ll likely sell.
I think these are quite small, but will be more than adequate for single adults or even a couple who are at the stage in their lives when they want to own a home. The pricing, I think, is competitive. These units are clearly designed for people who do not work from home and who prefer to spend a lot of time outside the home. If I was 25-30 years old and had saved up $40,000 to purchase a condo or co-op, I think I would seriously consider one of these apartments.
At nearly $1000/sf, the pricing on the 1BRs would be competitive if these were in Dumbo or Williamsburg.
…..if you had a time machine
Fair enough. But is this currently a $1000/sf location?
Awful! The one-bedrooms don’t even have closets in the bedrooms. And living area is just too tiny.
That main living room shot looks like it would cause claustrophobia; checking the dimensions of the room, you only get an almost 10′ wide by 8 space for “living,” and a small galley kitchen with no room for a proper eating table. Then the bedroom is also very small at 11 X 8. This seems like a glorified alcove studio to me, that would be better served as a rental, so when the tenant outgrows the space, she/he can move on with their life into a more forgiving space. Getting an extra bedroom and going up to almost $600K, with the same small living plan, doesn’t seem worth it, either for that price. Note to developers: try building units that grown-ups want to live in once they are at the purchasing stage of their lives….
