Checking In on the Washington Condos
We stopped by to check in on the progress at the Washington Condos last weekend. Far from finished, the development was frankly a bit of a letdown after viewing the slick homepage and hearing positive comments from Set Speed’s ltjbukem.

We stopped by to check in on the progress at the Washington Condos last weekend. Far from finished, the development was frankly a bit of a letdown after viewing the slick homepage and hearing positive comments from Set Speed’s ltjbukem. Maybe it’s the corner location on a wide street, but the scale of the building didn’t bother us. Whether or not the finished product is to our specific liking, the creation of a reasonably high-end condo in this location will certainly be good for the immediate neighborhood. By the way, Set Speed just posted a photo of a kitchen being assembled.

Are All New Developments Ugly? [Brownstoner]
poor in a relative sense, ie can’t afford the $100k+ to put down for an apt in dumbo or park slope.
believe it or not, on the scarano site, the washington used to be under the heading of ‘affordable housing’. i kid you not.

You keep mentioning poor?? Are you implying that people who have 50-70K to put a 10 percent down payment on a condo are poor? You’re even more jaded than I thought. Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?? Don’t poor people work?
anon, who said anything about 7th ave? we all know it’s on washington ave. it’s based on speculation b/c there were no model units? or it’s based on speculation b/c you think we thought it was on 7th ave?
if we’re so misinformed, then please do tell us all you know. i’m starving for info on this project. all i know is onehansonplace.com ..what do you know???
Its always the same people who have something negative to say about A&H. There is such thing as strategy to advertising, and the best way to market a property is not just ads in the NY times or a model apartment, I think its ingenious the way they sold those units. And please its Washington Ave not 7th Avenue so the fact the you bought there at all is purely based on speculation and nothing concrete. You paid a pretty penny for that location, you both seemed very misinformed….
a year from now they’ll be surprised? they’re surprised now…
good call on the a&h analysis. i’m glad you wrote it. i don’t know how many more times my ego will take being called an idiot or that my spouse works for corcoran..ouch! …i guess working for corcoran is better than working for a&h. at least at corcoran, they require a college degree…

a&h have got to be the worst agents around. I bought at the Washington despite the agents’ infighting, lack of knowledge, and general lack of help mainly because of the price and location of the building. In a year from now, people won’t believe how cheap it was to get a three bedroom apt. ( which is not generaly easy to get anyway) back in 2004 at this place.
I don’t even bother calling A&H anymore because I know they basically know nothing and to a large degree, don’t care once the contract has been signed.
A&H does as good if not better job of selling and marketing condos than Corcoran. Corcoran can’t even sell the units they have had on the Market for over a year!!!
When I first got my offering plan I thought the units were way over-priced for the area. I saw something through corcoran on 20th st which was like $500 a/foot. I paid roughly $540 a/foot for my unit at the Washington, and actually the Kitchens were one of my main draws to the project, as well as the underground parking and the gym. I don’t think anyone ever thought they would get the prices their geting now, my broker is atually a friend of mine but I think A&H did a really outstanding job. I mean they convinced me to buy from plans, I think that’s a real testament to them…
