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.

This is built of no poorer quality than 90% of the homes built in suburban America. A lot of which has been standing for 50 years.
Sounds like you have an ax to grind with this place.
There’s a firehouse on Union Street between 7th and 6th Avenues too…should everyone in the North Slope vacate?
They do it every where when returning, when leaving the priority is ipod blind pedestrians. Manhattan is a different animal then 4th Ave with highway speeds. All I am saying is the fire house is across the street and they use the sirens and horn when leaving the firehouse, even at 2am. If you think the building is so well constructed by all means buy. When your neighbor hangs his TV on your “concrete block” common wall, let me know how funny Conan is. The exterior may well be stucco over foam over block but it looks cheap, and that exterior won’t last. Check out the holes on the 4th Ave side.
“Don’t they do that EVERYWHERE in this city? ”
Yes, in fact I’ve lived here all my life and have seen this happen more often than not. One guy actually cursed at my wife as she drove up the street (near the fire house at Dean and 6th. That was not cool.
> The men shouldn’t be in the street “manually” directing traffic.
Don’t they do that EVERYWHERE in this city? They do it at the firehouse near my office. They do it at the firehouse near my home. Maybe it’s just coinkydink.
Grumpy, I think the rats have gotten to your brain…that building will outlast you, your children and your children’s children (and probably longer)
Well obviously Grumpy is one of our Bravest. I don’t understand why he is overplaying the noise factor of his own station which he knows well is/was never an issue. I hear the Le Blue hotel music more often than I do noise from 239.
But I am sure if some one complains about noise of 239 in an official manner he (and I) would be the first to defend it.
I hope it is just not an axe to grind thing.
It’s silly to even suggest that the walls are made of styrofoam. The styrofoam is the INSULATION on top of the concrete masonry.
One of my best friends lives within a block of here and I’m there at least a few times a week (sometimes afternoon on weekends, sometimes weeknights, sometimes weekend nights) and never have I heard the siren you are referencing.
BTW – the outer walls is concrete masonry and cast in concrete (along with stucco coating). It is in the offering plan.
I am glad we’ve been good neighbors. The men shouldn’t be in the street “manually” directing traffic. When leaving on a run everyone jumps on the rig inside except for the man closing the doors. Upon returning we use the truck to block traffic, if a drunk or inattentive driver was to hit something, we prefer it be the rig rather then a fireman. The men should not be between oncoming traffic and the rig. Firefighters have been injured on 4th Ave. I am not dodging I worked there for 20 years.
