We’re not sure the new building that replaced the Carroll Gardens brownstone that collapsed in 2012 is completely finished but it is on the market — as condos. The condos, as Curbed noted, are “pricey,” but we must say they look very nice.

Except for the too-short windows and door on the parlor floor, and lower overall height, the exterior looks much like it did before the collapse, although it’s a completely new building. Inside the units are modern, spacious and light, with gigantic windows in the rear. The building is 25 feet wide, so they had more space to play with than usual.

The prices are something of a surprise: $2.2 million for a two-bedroom, two-bath floor through on the second floor to $3.5 million for a three-bedroom duplex on the top. That could buy you a whole brownstone in the area, though it would probably need renovation.

Unit No. 3 is already in contract, according to the listing.

We’re interested in how the owners financed such a high-quality rebuild. As far as we can see, they didn’t take out a new mortgage and still own the building, although now in the form of an LLC. We think it’s interesting they decided to develop and sell. Above, the house under construction in September.

What do you think of the new units — and the prices?

  1. This building is such a disappointment. A pathetic effort by the owners who evidently don’t give a shit. They are extracting money and leaving the neighborhood with a prominent structure that is completely meh. It could have been so good, with a clean slate and large block to work on. Instead they picked a cheap architect and it shows inside & out. Shame on them and fool any buyer, especially at those outrageous prices.

  2. who are these people that will buy it? Have they been living under a rock or what? Completely tacky interiors. I still can’t believe people would spend money like that on something like this? Super ugly property indeed. Yes, taste is subjective but really at those prices, would the buyers not have at least an ounce of sophistication? If they did, they would look elsewhere.
