134 St. Marks Place Takes a Mulligan

134-St-Marks-Place-0909.jpg
After a rather inglorious sales effort back in 2007 and 2008, the Scarano-designed condo project at 134 St. Marks Place in Park Slope is making another go of it. Halstead is pitching the six units ranging in price from $430,000 for a 683-square-foot one-bedroom to $849,000 for a 1,352-square-foot two-bedroom (this one's in contract already). It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

Worst. Balconies. Ever.

What does one do with those silly little wedge-shaped things?

Store a slice of pie?

I've been wondering about this place since I almost moved to that block in 2007. I saw they had some new signs up recently and wondered if people were going to start living there soon.

No shortage of bathrooms in that 2 bedroom...

"Store a slice of pie?"

Well, you can get some pizza next door from Peperoncino.

this place is looking dated already

I think Peperoncino is pretty good, especially the pizza. Service there is really excellent and some of it quite hot looking!!!

Those are balconies???
I thought it was a design flaw.
You live and learn.

I'm still waiting for this squat little box to unfold into a giant battle robot. Until then, yawn...

I think that 2 BR has been in contract since the building was with the previous firm. And I thought one of them was on lis pendens.

And coming from Bobby, you know there will be some surprises.

Seems like the lis pendens was filed on all the units (according to PropertyShark), not just one of them. Does this mean they are going into foreclosure? Or is the lis pendens on something else?

The problem with this building is not the outside/facade (yes, it's ugly) people. I've seen a few of the apartments, they are very small. I highly doubt 2B is almost 700 sq ft. The bedroom felt like a coffin. Also, if you face the back of the building, you are overlooking a parking lot of some sort. All those pretty tress out the windows in those pictures don't exist. Look at the floor plan, one full closet and one half. No thanks.

I live a block away from this place and there has been precious little activity in the last year. I wouldn't be surprised if it was bank-owned at this point.

The architecture is totally out of place but I like it better than the cheap POS on 4th Ave & Warren.

Posted by: FatLenny at September 24, 2009 12:00 PM

4th Ave & Warren and is rental...

Posted by: IronMaiden at September 24, 2009 12:28 PM

We took a look at these. Although it's on a good block, the apartments are small for the prices they're asking. The "balconies" are useless too unless you're on the back of the building (where they're a little bigger).

Also, and this is a minor gripe, they did not install a microwave and there's nowhere to put one on the counter (unless you have the exposed back of it facing your living room). Seems like a silly oversight in a brand new building.

Snark, that is phase 2.

I meant that lis pendens was only on 134 and not 136 or vice versa. Is it on both now?

Posted by: babs at September 24, 2009 3:41 PM

Oh yes, we're saying the same thing then (lis pendens is on on 134). 136 from my knowledge is not complete ... the interior is completely empty. But seems like they are completely separate entities so TCO will be awarded separately for 134 & 136.

This is not necessarily in defense of the design, but it's worth noting the balcony projection beyond the front lot line is limited to 22" by the Building Code, since these balconies project over the sidewalk.
