A reader sent in a tip that prices at 46 Lefferts Place went under the knife last week, just in time for a building-wide open house on Saturday. Turns out this wasn’t the first time: When we wrote about the 8-unit new building last Tuesday, we were unaware that The Developers Group had had the listing for a couple of months before Corcoran recently got it. TDG had done a price cut of its own to no avail. This latest move brings the average price per square foot from $526 to $474. Think this’ll make a difference?

  1. i was making a joke about the shadows.
    jeez. it seems pretty assinine to me to be talking shadows before a building has even broken ground. while you can speculate all you want, you make it sound as if the empire state building is going to be built. you don’t know to what affect the shadow/s will cast…especially since in the next 10-20 years that this project is built, it’s going to undergo SEVERAL changes as the market changes, etc. i’m sure.

    the way you all talk about the shadow it’s as if it’s going to sweep down over all of ft. greene, park slope, prospect heights and clinton hill.

    ONE building is going to be of significant height….another similar in size to the williamsburgh bank builing, albeit more of a presence. to say such a building will cast a shadow so as to draw fear that all houses within a mile will no longer have sunlight from sept-march is just plain crazy talk and beyond an exaggeration.

    the sun would bypass said building in about a half hour. so you’ll be dealing with an hour or less sun per day.

    not a big deal in the grand scheme of life.

  2. Park Place —
    Since you asked, this block does not interest me and I would never buy one of these apartments. For the same price as one of these CLOSET-LESS (???)studios sandwiched between the currently hideous Fulton Street and the forever highway of Atlantic Ave, you can buy a four room apartment with four large closets in my building in Sunset Park overlooking a park, nestled in an actual neighborhood.

  3. OK. There’s now a lot of anonymous posts calling people names. Clearly that’s part of the Atlantic Yards effect too.

    Still no talk about Lefferts Place. Doesn’t this block interest anyone? How much would the place be going for if we succeed in shutting Ratner down?

  4. Anon at 11:13 — those shadows won’t be in the summer, they’ll be in the fall, winter and spring. It’s one thing to buy a place in Manhattan knowing that you’ll never have the sun shining in your window — that wasn’t one of the selling points to begin with. In contrast, some folks in Fort Green who are used to the sun shining in their windows during the winter are going to lose that altogether. Are you seriously sorry that your home will stay bright in the winter? Don’t be an ass.

  5. “it’s about not being a moron.” boy, does that ever sound like the 3rd grade, or maybe junior high school at the latest.

    “AYE, Captain, I don’ know how much longer the shields are goin’ta hold.”

  6. Park Place —

    Is a dust cloud better or worse than building shadows? I guess a dust cloud from a crashing comet would eventually disperse. Tall building shadows from Sept. to March are forever.

  7. i personally wouldn’t mind a little shadow on my place to beat some of the afternoon sun. i’m far enough away that i won’t be impacted unfortunately.

    maybe i’ll need to get some awnings.

    the “shadow” stuff is pretty ridiculous. there are shadows all over manhattan and it seems like a few people want to live there.
