A Peek at the North8 Gardens
[nggallery id=”21992″ template=galleryview] Thanks to a tipster with an unusual view, we’ve got some fun pics of the never-before-seen backyard of Toll Brothers’ North8 development (which, incidentally, we think is pretty good looking as far as these things go. Agree?) There’s definitely a fishbowl effect going on though! North 8: Shangri La on the East…

“(Jeez, am I turning into the What?)”
I hope you are ready to walk to the “Dark Side” Brooklynnative.
Please don’t waste your time, just let it happen. The Asshats are not going to listen and maybe “underwater”.
The Harry Macklowe deal is proof positive that any one can be a Asshat! That dude was mainlining the Kool-Aid hard when he “Bought” those properties. The square footage numbers made no sense but the Asshat had to have it. Oh well, Rally on!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
So, Bear Stearns is history, 40,000 NYC financial service jobs will be lost over the next 6 months, and Lehman looks like it’s next as three days ago they announced a plan to issue millions of new shares price at $28 to prop up their over-leveraged balance sheet and their stock quickly fell 15% and is now trading at $25.5.
Now it turns out that all those private equity firms that invested blindly in Manhattan real estate are having trouble paying off their debt and the banks have turned off the liquidity faucet. According to CBS Marketnews:
“Deutsche Bank is making deals to unload three of the seven skyscrapers it took back from New York developer Harry Macklowe in transactions that reflect a 20% to 30% decline from when he purchased them last year, the newspaper reported, citing people
familiar with the matter.”

Did you get that?!!! A decline of 20 to 30% in one year in Manhattan real estate! Thank God Brooklyn is immume to all this because as one poster pointed out the other day, there are a lot of people working in the arts and non-finance related jobs in Brooklyn. Plus people are moving into the cities, it’s a big trend. Otherwise people might stop paying 1 million plus for brownstones in poor condition in terrible neighborhoods.

Nope Asshat, I live in a neighborhood where you are overpaying to live in. Clinton Hill was affordable before the Asshats from the “Fly overstates” stare to infest this area! Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy, Bushwick, Greenpoint, Willamsburg and other places was OK until the invasion of the Asshats!
Another groundbreaking quote…I actually dont live in Williamsburg. I love how you say the places were affordable until the asshats came in…DO you mean asshats or people that actually have jobs and make a living. Or people like you and some of the hipster Williamsburg typ how were leaving in dumpster like brownstones paying 200 dollars a month and not work and be pretty much a lazy bastard. So dont rip the hardworking person who wants to be in Brooklyn and pays for a nice apt…Jealousy is not attractive tool bag… go back to your basement apartment in CLinto Hill…
“”Future homeless shelter”
“looks like a prison”
Its a decent looking building sitting directly across the street from a park with some of the best views in NYC. And its sold out so I dont think they need to advertise anymore.
By the way the what lives in a cave and eats his own excrement.”
Hey Asshat! Can you afford to buy a Condo there? Can you afford the price drop if you bought one? Can you afford the payments?
No you can’t poser! Why?! Because you need high valuations to justify YOUR insanity! Why would you have Mortgage cost of over 5000K a month when you can rent the same place for 2000k a month? Why??!! Because you are a delusional Asshat and you are mad at The What for point that out!!!!!
“#1…Another ground breaking comment…LOSER…
God you must really want to move out of East New York…
Its truly amazing people work extremely hard and sacrifice alot to buy a home and life is short. You never know what the future will hold and by reading your non stop pessimism is just a complete joke and obvious of your lack of success in your own life.”

I wonder if you are going to stay when the crash gets underway. Time will tell….
BTW Lookie here! Rates are going up and the Dumbasses are losing altitude! LMMFAO!
The What (Tick.. Tick… Tick…)
Someday this war is gonna end…
This is a really nice condo building right across from the east river park and the west facing apartments all have shockingly stunning Manhattan views. I have casual acquaintances who bought there – they sold their MANHATTAN place to move because this place is special.
Also, the owners just moved in this year – give them a break! They will surely get around to landscaping their backyards. I live in a condo building where several of us have yards – it took until the second summer living there for most of the yards to be landscaped.
I love the contrast of the clothes line ladder in the foreground with the pristine (sterile?) yards beyond.
Agree with the dog run/prison comments, but lets remember that these aren’t lived in yet. Hopefully they will get personalized and personality.
I’d also like to more about that window wall to the left – it looks pretty cool, what is it exactly?

Here is the deal people want to buy a home so they buy they dont time the market when my parents moved from the city 30 years ago to the suburbs they found an area they could afford and did not worry about the current market and so on. This whole timing the market and real estate is going to go down 50% is just absurd. The correction may be over with or may have 10-15% more to go but who the hell knows but to be able to buy your own home instead of paying someone elses mortgage is still no better investment, especially with the tax breaks. If people are in a position to buy and cash ready and can negotiate a good deal its worth going for it because how many times in history has NYC real estate been negotiable and every time right after it has bounced back even stronger.
10.56 – I’m not being negativr about the N8 development, but the views are not good – they are directly across from the godawful ugly stuy town/peter cooper projects.
So that *is* astroturf? And how on earth would you grow anything back there? Zero light.
