Condo of the Day: 140 Degraw Street

Price obvs ridiculous--steps from BQE! Also, how do you maintain privacy with those gigantic glass windows being as low as they are?

ridiculous prices for an extremely ugly building.

They're called CURTAINS

Doesn't exactly blend with the neighboring architecture does it?

Good Job, I think it looks cool!

Glass window/privacy complainer - that is certainly not an issue for people these days, hence Meier and 20 million other all glass buildings. Not my taste certainly, but clearly to some people's taste.

Seems pricey given that the location is on the other side of the BQE.

I think for a 100k savings people should be willing to live in this not so ugly place. Something is pricey only in comparison to other things, and I must agree with 2:55 there are no equivalnet prices to this in the area. Just look at the condo reno on union st on the other side of the bqe with prices over 1mm. What is really pricey?

It looks like a giant space robot squatted atop the neighboring structures and dropped a turd in between them.

I like it better than the brownstones next to it which should be torn down, they look like crap. Though the floor plan of this place looks bad.

Hideous building in a crappy location. 'Nuff said.

Posted by: guest at October 22, 2007 7:35 PM

There are quite a few people who actually chose to be on the other side of the highway. Most likely to get away from the idiots who post on these boards... excluding me of course...i'm not an idiot.

I like this building! the area is undergoing many changes, so I guess thats an opportunity. Being on the other side of the BQE far from being a disadvantage its in fact and advantage in my belief, as it fronts on the river and many projects for parks and bike-paths are supposed to start being built.

I have to agree with 4:37. If you're after this sort of modernesque new construction, you'll do better in Williamsburg.

Posted by: guest at October 22, 2007 10:27 PM

Williamsburg? red hook has much more character than willyb. I'd choose red hook over willyb with no second thoughts. willyb is over rated red hook rocks especially with new construction like this. thumbs up !

Posted by: guest at October 22, 2007 11:04 PM

Red Hook? You're joking right? What's the appeal? The ugly housing stock, the massive projects, or the complete lack of subways?

AMAZING !!! A seed to a new modern approach in the area. Keep up the original and innovative spirit !
