Knock 30-35% off the OBBP prices and that’s what they might go for now. The contracts were from a while ago. The people were either fighting them or looking for a concessions.
Asking prices their pivot around $850 sq/ft, with higher floors and water views commanding more, and lower floor apartments facing the BQE with freaky floorplans going for much less.
The lower floors are slowly filling up there, because that is where they have cut prices. The upper floors are still very pricey and still pretty empty.
Ted,
The Joralemon enterence to 1BBP is exactly the spot I find dangerous.
Granted, I’ve been to 1BBP only 3 times but, each time, I’ve felt that Furman Street is pedestrian unfriendly and dangerous.
Its just weird when you get to the end of Joralemon and cross Furman its very suspect for that type of price they are charging. But to be honest walking home at midnight could be suspect. I bet there is not alot they can do with Furman St now.
i’m not sure what makes the bqe overpass of joralemon scary or even dangerous. having lived nearby for a few years, the only concern is the water runoff when it rains.
also, i believe 1BBP has an entrance at joralemon, which avoids the previously mentioned 3 foot wide sidewalked – much improved in recent days with tree plantings.
You have good points, tybur6.
If you live at 1BBP, your walk to the subway “begins/ends with the creepy, scary, dangerous bit at the BQE.” Something needs to be done about that traffic/pedestrian conflict.
Also, I wouldn’t underestimate the value of your daily walk to the subway. It’s the route we New Yorkers walk more than any other route. It’s a big part of our lives.
Regarding 1BBP, THAL complained about the traffic.
THAL wrote: “You need to go under the BQE then walk past that service road that is like a higway. And the sidewalk is like 3 feet wide so it feels like cars are coming right onto the sidewalk.”
I agree, THAL.
Terrible planning.
1BBP residents risk getting plowed down by speeding vehicles on a busy “service road.”
(I believe the “service road” is Furman Street.)
Something needs to be done about that situation.
The Furman Street traffic situation is inappropriate now that there is a residential community (1BBP) just west of it.
Umm… I think I’d rather walk *to* the beautiful park in the strangely cut-off area than enjoy “your walk to the subway is through arguably the most beautiful streets of NYC.”
When you buy a property, you can choose to go somewhere else (like to the park), but you’re stuck *living* in the spot your house is. Such a strange location.
It’s a 1/2 mile walk to the subway (not bad), but it begins/ends with the creepy, scary, dangerous bit at the BQE.
oh hell no; if i’m paying 3mil for a place here, i ain’t schlepping upto the train everyday. i’m TLC’ing everywhere!
places like BBP and most of the new riverfront condos are gonna be toast when the next big tsunami hits, which is predicted like what? in the next 5 or 10 years? buyer definitely beware, and if you do, make sure it’s at least 20 stories above ground.
