Upscale Green Townhouses Coming to Bed Stuy
Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think.

Here’s a rendering for a trio of green, modular townhouses planned for a plot of land in Bed Stuy across the street from Restoration Plaza. Designed by Garrison Architects, the 2,900-square-foot houses have highly efficient heating, insulation and lighting systems. They also look pretty darn good, we think. According to the listing agent, one of the three houses is already spoken for, which is impressive since a $1,300,000 price tag isn’t easy to pull off in this part of town these days. Then again, nothing like this has been done in the area as far as we know. Think they’ll be a market for this approach?

12:31 – Please try to stay on topic and stop spamming every thread with that PS sale.
Thanks for the information, all (I asked early in the thread). Can any of you recommend a reliable broker who deals with the area of Bed-Stuy discussed here – along the A/C subway line between Nostrand and Utica? Thanks.
It’s true that Bed-Stuy is NOT Cobble Hill. That’s why the developer is not asking $2.7 or 3 million which is what they got for the new green townhouses in Boerum Hill. (14 Townhouses) I think 1.3 with rental income is a very fair price for those buildings. They look amazing!! I bet they sell quickly even in this market.
Have a look at a map (or better yet walk around) and see why people talk about different parts of any neighborhood in Brooklyn. They all have their good, their bad, their more diverse areas, less diverse, etc. Even a minscule neighborhood like Cobble Hill has less desirable blocks or areas.
Bed Stuy is not the next coming, as you would have us believe. This is Brooklyn. Bed Stuy was the tumor of Brooklyn for many years. Still is in many ways.
Stop making it sound like Eden!
It’s the GHETTO!
Actually, you know what I love 1.00pm? That just because you traveled to some neighborhood “hundreds of times†you feel confident enough to make a pronouncement on the future real estate values of that neighborhood. You’re a freaking genius. And because Bed Stuy was one of the two most dangerous neighborhoods in the country 10 freaking years ago, you’re confident enough to state that it still must be that way based on your aforementioned commuting experience. Brilliant.
2.12– Have a look at a map and you’ll see why people talk about “different parts” of Bed Stuy.
Why do we have to talk about different “parts” of Bed Stuy except with Park Slope it’s either the whole hood sucks or it doesn’t.
The Foodtown is actually far better than any major supermarket in Manhattan save the Food Emporium under the QueensBorough Bridge and the specialty food stores.
This part of Bed Stuy is still predominantly commercial with no architectural or community “charm” to put it mildly. Safe? Yes.
Yes, “green” still always means more expensive but these sound like a gimmick without the full solar and the tax situation spelled out.
11:37 If it’s any relief, the broker lives on Park Place in Crown Heights. It’s literally a 10 minute stroll from his house.
I don’t need Montrose to stop doing what he’s doing.
Because I know the FACTS about these neighborhoods. Those crime stats spoke volumes to me. 17 murders in a year is not good. That’s inner city Cleveland crime people. Or St. Louis. Yes, Bed Stuy is close to Park Slope by the way the bird flies, but it’s a whole different world over there. Don’t let people make you believe that it’s the Park Slope of 2020. It’s not. Park Slope NEVER had 75% of its residents living below the poverty line. Nor did it ever have 17 murders a year, much less 71.
Facts that Montrose likes to gloss over, but are actually relevant and the reason why I know 3 families right now who are in the process of moving from one of these fringe areas back to civilization.
