Checking in on the Argyle
This summer the sales team for the Argyle, the 60-unit condo on 7th Street and 4th Avenue, touted that the building was “above 70 percent sold.” So far, however, there have only been 31 unit closings in the building, plus a bunch of parking spot sales.

This summer the sales team for the Argyle, the 60-unit condo on 7th Street and 4th Avenue, touted that the building was “above 70 percent sold.” So far, however, there have only been 31 unit closings in the building, plus a bunch of parking spot sales. Meanwhile, 10 condos in the building are currently on the market, according to StreetEasy. Move-ins began in June, and at around the same time prices were raised (?!) a bit on a couple of pads. As it stands, asks are ranging from $459,000 for a 646-sf, 1-bedroom to $965,000 for a 1,239-sf, 3-bedroom.

11217 ain’t the slope?
You need to re-familiarize yourself with a map, my friend.
The North Slope…as in some of the most prime blocks of Park Slope by many people’s definition are in the 11217 zip code.
That photo looks like a crude Photoshop mashup of an Edward Hopper painting and…an ugly big new building. It doth not rise clad in white samite, mystic, wonderful, if you get my drift.
Walk by the garage entrance and see if you see block behind the hole in the stucco. Why do they call it the Argyle anyway, maybe because it is as ugly as an argyle sweater. I live in a shack in the South Slope and that neighborhood used to be called South Brooklyn. 11217 ain’t the Slope.
Suburban homes have their foundation concrete – the rest are wood and metal – not concrete. So yeah there is a difference (not for the better). Unless you get a custom home you are not going to get stone based outer walls.
Please, it’s not THAT ugly.
Other than the beige at the bottom, which SO does not go with the gray above, I actually kinda like it.
The unit facing 7th street with the big bay window must get killer light.
“I hope you enjoy living there or selling them”
I live in a brownstone in the North Slope and am not a broker. But I did walk by this building about 100 times as it was being built and very clearly saw them putting concrete masonry on the side of this building.
“This is built of no poorer quality than 90% of the homes built in suburban America.”
I highly doubt that.
11217, Grumpy (and the rest of the 7 Dwarves for that matter), have a right to call this building crappy. It is ugly, at the very least.
I don’t have an ax to grind, it is an ugly building.The homes built in the suburbs are constructed completely differently. 90% of the suburbs aren’t built above a subway line, or next to a 6 lane road. I am just making observations, I hope you enjoy living there or selling them. With a little luck Bloomberg will close the fire house and someone will make a private school out of it.
Isn’t toggle bolts standard m.o. for sheet rock + metal stud situations?
