First Closings Recorded at the Argyle
As anticipated, the first closings at the Argyle, the condo on 4th Avenue and 7th Street, have occurred. Last week, three closings were recorded in city records. Among them: Unit 6C sold for $491,790; according to the building's amended condo declaration, it's a 695-square-foot one-bedroom. The buyers went into contract last August. Meanwhile, unit 3J sold for $701,574. The 1,043-square-foot two-bedroom went into contract last March. Corcoran's listings page for the 60-unit building shows that 11 of its condos are still on the market.

saw this place a couple of weeks ago at an open house. it's a construction zone, but somehow there are already people living there. There are wires hanging off the ceiling...

also, those lot-line windows should be considered walls since the whole block is zoned for 12fl buildings.

Isn't that the definition of lot line windows - windows that can end up being blocked?

itchy trigger finger, sorry.
@crimsonson, not necessarily Argyle could possibly own air rights to the buildings next to it, but they do not. If they did, the windows would be safe.

That you would pay that much for these units is really beyond me. The building location is less than average to begin with. IMO, the value/price ratio sucks given the location and how long it will take before surroundings improve. We're talking 4th Av. This is on the edge of Gowanus for Chris' sake! There are much better places to invest money in, especially these days.

While buying boxes at the UHaul this weekend, I was able to fully bask in the glory that is The Argyle.

Just think, Snark. If you lived there, you could buy boxes and rent U-hauls ALL THE TIME!

The What says that someday this war will end. Well these (soon to be literally monstrously)poor SOBs are front-line casualties. Do you see them? They are lying on the sand with their guts hanging out. They're screaming pieces of meat. The rest of us can only just shake our heads and keep moving forward.

The What, war, SOBs, guts hanging, screaming pieaces of meat - all in one small paragraph. :/
This has to be one of the worst postings here in recent weeks.
You are right...

Those of you that enter this web site and cannot just enjoy the information that is provided but instead must comment negatively on the majority of the buildings and apartments you see really sound like a bunch of ignorant a$$holes. You must be the Phil Drummonds of Brooklyn living in your nice high rise "Park Avenue" apartments, or maybe in this case brownstones. I didn't even buy in this building but your constant whining and b!tching make reading content on this website unbearable. Can't wait for your next informative building evaluation.....remember, when you go home and cut your self, its "down the road" not "across the street"....make it count!

@less212 - OH look everybody, we have ourselves another modern-day keyboard warrior.
Take these comments with a grain of salt or retrieve your ball and go home to mama, she be waitin' for you!

@hcra78 - Actually, I prefer your mama....and ball retreival will definitely be required.

Looks like we got our selves a little internet tussle between less 212 and hcra78. Not knowing either of them my money is on hcra78. less212 sounds like a whiner. Does your daddy own this building or something? I actually saw this building a few weeks back. Personally I would never consider buying there. Real dump.
