Looks Like Condos at 134 St. Marks are Finally Selling

134%20st.%20marks%201-2010.JPG
134 St. Marks Place, the Scarano-designed North Slope condo near 5th Avenue, appears to have finally found its legs. The development hit the market back in 2007 but, after a couple years and a chilly reception from buyers, listings were yanked. The development made another go of it starting last September, with prices running from $430,000 for a 683-square-foot one-bedroom to $849,000 for a 1,352-square-foot two-bedroom. StreetEasy is now showing six units in contract, and three others left to sell. It took awhile, but this one may yet sell out.

11217, looks like your beloved wall street boy friends are not making as much in cash bonuses as you were hoping for! Suck on them!

That's great, Stevieb. I have no interest in Wall Street or your comments.

Nice of you to crawl out from under your rock to join us again.

I see you are starting off the year as miserable as you left the last one.

What an ugly building, it's really too bad.

Went to an open house here in 2008, pretty spacious and well laid-out designs - and great location. Went back with my wife a week later on a rainy day and the third-floor apartment we looked at had had a heavy leak through the ceiling, spilling through the oven hood and all over the stove, the drywall above the oven was falling apart.

If you buy make sure you have a THOROUGH inspection!

stevieb!! Where ya been?!?! Inquiring minds in the OT want to know. And can I just wish you a belated Happy, Healthy & Prosperous 2010!

(BTW, don't think 11217 works in finance so don't think he really cares about the bonuses.)

stevie, Obama just handed the bonus recipients a really big nugget as their stock is being priced this week!!!!

I live a block from this place and have seldom seen any work being done on it even though it's clearly not finished inside. Meanwhile, the hideous development on 4th & Warren shot up and is occupied. I don't understand how anyone can afford the carrying costs of inaction. Regardless, I love my 'hood and hope they get some decent prices.

Back when this building was first on the market, the developers shot themselves in the foot by leaving the sidewalk messed up and the front windows on the ground floor covered in dirty, peeling contractors paper. Made the place look slummy. First impressions count and alot of people were put off by these signs of neglect.

Too bad you can't zoom in for a closer look at the metalic exterior - it is already showing it's age. Great location, yes. But a really ugly, out of contxt building (and grand army is on point about how it has looked for ages)

Posted by: Brooklyn Red at January 27, 2010 2:32 PM

Finally. Great location. I still think this thing looks like a Transformer.

Posted by: DitmasSnark at January 27, 2010 2:32 PM

It's only "ugly" cause it's in Park Slope.

If this were in Williamsburg, we'd be saying it's the best thing around.

Posted by: 11217 at January 27, 2010 2:56 PM

I'm pretty sure it would be ugly in Williamsburg too, but you are also right, it would be the best thing around.

Ok, so maybe that was a little bit neighborhoodist.

Could it get any uglier, well yes, have you ever seen the small building on Union Street between 4/5, with tin metal balconied. That builder should be shot........twice !
