Downtown Brooklyn Condos


Property Shark stats:

1 mile from the Oro building there are 7,679 condo units total.

1,997 of them are in a status called ” Lis Pendens “.

In other words, 26% of all condo units in a one mile radius from 306 Gold St are on the brink of foreclosure.

hmmmmmmmmm……………

The Toren’s Competition


Can someone please tell me which condo complexes compete with The Toren in terms of potential buyers of condo units ( comparable in location, desirablility, utility, amenities ) etc. I am inteterested in any and all opinions and insights. Also, if anyone has any commentary on the overall supply and demand of said units in the DT Brooklyn cooridor it would be greatly appreciated. In other words, are we set for another fall due to the oversupply , or since some of the unsold units go rental, does that keep inventories from ever building?

Half Moon Hotel- Seagate


Was working in Seagate , a gated community near Coney Island. Got talking with the security guard, who seemed to know quite a bit about local history. He said the community was founded in the 1890′s by gangsters, became sort of their summer resort and party destination with their girlfriends. Then the lawyers made their way in, followed by some Wall St guys. This photo is 4200 Atlantic Avenue, and the building backs the water. As little as 10 yrs ago it was a junkie den with 20+ apartments but at one time was called the ” Half Moon Hotel” the mobsters would bring their girls out here for drinking, dancing and the other things that go with it. Anyone know anything else about the history of this place?

need kid frndly, restaurant


Hello. Any ideas to a good restaurant for a 6pm sat dinner in the Park Slope/Gowanus/Carrol Gardens area? I am taking my in-laws out for dinner and we will be bringing our 3 month old. She normally sleeps in public places. Something that is a bit nicer than a Two Boots or a pub, but not an entirely romantic place or anything like. any wiseguys, spare me the stupid comments too.
