The Crest, the 4th Avenue condo on 2nd Street, is apparently 90 percent sold and ready for move-ins. The sign above is taped to the outside of the building, and a local entrepreneur has put up his own sign next to the Crest’s, in a bid, perhaps, to do business with the building’s new residents. StreetEasy shows eight active listings left at the condo that go from $559,000 (734-sf 1-bed) to $738,000 (985-sf 2-bed). GMAP

  1. i hope it is 90% sold. let more people blow their wads on these value traps so the good stuff will have less demand. you can keep your 5-10% down, awkward floorplan, ugly, noisy and dirty 4th ave trash. i will keep socking away for something with more integrity in the true slope and now i don’t have to worry about competing with you. build more of these eyesores please!

  2. I am buying a unit at the Crest. The bulding has exceeded my expectations. The workmanship is superior, the gym is over the top, and the kitchens and baths are fabulous.
    I’m thinking of flipping it since it is so beautiful. I’m closing in about two weeks and there are people already closed and living in the building.

  3. Good for Novo. Although it is not an architectural masterpiece, what it brings to the neighborhood, 4th Ave to be exact, are tax paying consumers. Bottom line is, these are tax generating owners who will take care of their property. It will not be another car shop or Office Depot with a block size parking lot.

    It is not 15 CPW, but it is better than the previous reality.

    Good for Novo, Crest, Argyle and most important of all – hooray for 4th Ave.!

  4. Hey Faded type troll – I know Im not supposed to feed you, but seriously dude, you are totally ruining this site for the rest of us with your totally childish crap.

    At first I thought you were a little annoying but made a reasonable point, but now you are just a jerk-off spammer who obviously gets off drawing attention to himself in the most childish manner possible.

    Do you really think you are making a serious point or have you realized you are just clogging up this site with useless and irrelevant crap.

    Please find another site to act like a 12 year old on.

    Mr. B – Please find a way to block this moron.

    Thanks!

    I agree with you that all new developments should not be trashed, and that some people just want a nice, clean space. Personally I don’t understand the closet issue, but that’s irrelevant.

    I don’t however agree with you about the Novo. That place is an eyesore. Surely you must have SOME standards?

    This country is all about saying everything is fine and pretend we live in a fantasy world. It’s all about denial.

    I think it’s perfectly fine (and healthy in fact) to say…no…that isn’t fine. It was cheaply built and ugly.

    Sure it’s better than an abandoned parking lot, but can you try to have at least a FEW standards??

    The Crest is still rather ugly, but I think it works a little better than Novo.

    Of course all the new people moving in should be happy and thrilled about their new place. If they cared what people on an anonymous blog thought about the most expensive purchase they will probably ever make, they are to put it frankly…idiots.

  6. What’s with NOVO’s rather hideous entryway signage on 5th Street?

    Have you seen it? Throw-up colored sand tones with nasty lettering.

    I’m convinced the developer just doesn’t care … he could have spent the same amount of loot on an entry that looked good.

  7. It’s amazing that some people have nothing to do but sit around all day making nasty comments about things they don’t even know about. I’ve checked a few different sites to see what people are saying about new developments and it seems there is so much negativity about so many new buildings. I don’t see what is so hideous about the Crest and Novo. What are you people looking for? In the past, 4th Avenue was never a place I would consider living beause it just didn’t seem like a residential area. These new condos are bringing new life to 4th Avenue and when the buyers decide to resell their units in 5 or more years and make a big profit, won’t you all be jealous.

    I have checked out the Crest and Novo and yes, they are a little small and not a lot of closet space but they are by no means hideous. If you don’t plan on moving all your furniture from a house into a small apartment, you won’t have a problem and there are so many ways to make a closet fit a lot more than you think.

    For all those who have bought in the Crest or Novo especially those who have moved in already, enjoy your new home and don’t let all the negative comments get to you.
