Baltic Street Tower Comes to Market

notice the discrepancy between the number of windows in the sketch of the building & the actual building.

That is a ugly building...

831 square foot 2 Bedroom/2 bath? Must be no living room or kitchen.

People loving saying that buildings are ugly...its ok looking... Its in a great area and if people need to buy into the area at this price seems like a good deal... And yes I know how close it is to the projects.

There is a certain irony that its on Baltic and is called The Baltic.

These look like Estonian housing projects.
Prisonlike, communist era boxes.

Anyone who buys these is a -total- sucker

I was immediately reminded of the prison on Atlantic Ave.

Posted by: guest at May 27, 2008 1:00 PM

I'd rather rent in South Dakota than live in a depressing people-storage warehouse like that. What a blight.

Your jealousy makes you such an ugly person.
You should work on that.

Looks cheap, prices are not. might want to put up a phone # at least so the 1 person interested could actually call.

1:44 - I agree

Oh, that is hideous. I mean, I know it's subjective taste, but really, could they try any harder to put up an eyesore? PS: I like both brownstones AND modern buildings (some).

This is hideous. And all the other "new construction" on that block is just as hideous or worse ecspet for Baltic House. The old building are like tenements. Not a good block and never will be. The Gowanus Houses ARE much nicer.

All new buildings suck. Landmark everything. I love vacant lots. Buck Fush. Free Mumia.

Posted by: guest at May 27, 2008 2:59 PM

All new buildings are good, regardless of how awful. All old buildings are bad. I'd rather put up a P.O.C. then leave the lot vacant until something worthwhile is proposed.

Why did they bother with the windows at all?

Posted by: guest at May 27, 2008 3:46 PM

it looks like a holiday inn.

Posted by: guest at May 27, 2008 4:08 PM

Then you (2:400 would have loved the vacant lot here before the new building went up. Maybe I can find some old pictures. :)
I'm the one who saw the apts... (they had 2 ready to show)...very small and 1 layout has NO closets at all.
Price per sq ft is in low to mid $700 range. So the question is - is their offering price competive enough to balance the minuses (smallness, closeness to dreary Hoyt, not the prettiest block and pluses - great views from most floors, new, pretty decent looking baths, elevator, balcony, neighborhood).
For those who find the building so ugly: you don't even see the tower part walking down the street - and I thought the commercial/comunity facility floors that extend to street don't look half bad.
I wonder most who is going to rent the commercial space... and my opinion is would make a good rental building. I forgot to ask if there was to be a doorman.

The real question is: are they having open houses this weekend?

Posted by: guest at May 27, 2008 5:12 PM

What has to be done to get rid of the projects on Hoyt? Come on people, this area has been gentrofied, the only thing stopping Boerum Hill and Park Slope from merging into a super hub of young, urban, safe, fun, vibrant and rich neighborhoods is those projects. They have to go!
