Coming Out Party for Former Convent
We got an email from the developers of a new development-cum-conversion in Carroll Gardens. Architects Mark Dixon and Peter Guthrie built two new buildings on either side of the former St. Mary’s convent at 191-193 Luquer Street. According to the Developers Group website, configurations include duplexes, floor-thru loft-like spaces and penthouses with panoramic views. Prices…
We got an email from the developers of a new development-cum-conversion in Carroll Gardens.

According to the Developers Group website, configurations include duplexes, floor-thru loft-like spaces and penthouses with panoramic views. Prices appear to be running between $700 and $800 a square foot for the 12 units. We haven’t seen any shots of the interior so we’ll reserve judgment, but we’ll be very interested to hear the feedback of anyone who makes it to the open house this weekend on Sunday from 1-4 pm. We’re also curious to hear from any neighbors about how the construction process has been.

Cons to Luquor Street is that Smith/9th is your train station – not a pleasant or easy station to negotiate (its way up high) and not really pretty when get down to the street.
Other than that nothing would bother me.
Why would anyone want to be this close to Hamilton Ave at these prices, roughly $800 a/ft?? I’m looking in the Slope and Cobble hill and I’m not seeing those numbers. That’s rediculous.
Luquer St. yes, now very nice yes…quiet S/E corner of Carroll Gardens where the adorable and quaint Dennett Place runs between Luquer and Nelson. It’s long past time for a lot of you out there to get around a little more often.
Things change.
This is LUQUER STREET!! Very nice I think not!! And at thos prices? You must be joking….
I love the inter-neighborhood squabbling

I agree with anon 3:15. This is a very nice area. I guess Suzy thinks that 10th St.and 4th Ave is Park Slope by the way she’s mocking Carroll Gardens, but we all know she and her parcels lived in Gowanus.
this is in a very nice part of carroll gardens – right around the corner from Frankie’s 457, le petit restaurants. short walk to the carroll stop and in PS 58 – which is a great school. it is no where near 4th avenue – it is between smith and court.
hold on just a second! sandra, are you saying that these buildings are where i think you are saying they are? good lord, i used to live on tenth street between 4th and 5th avenues, and, if memory serves me correctly, you’re taking about the last mess the F train flew by on its way into the smith/9th street station from manhattan.
yipes! it IS! http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/stations?207:2659
whilst gathering myself and parcels to depart at 4th ave, i would look through the window at that area and just feel terribly sorry for the sad unfortunates that actually had to LIVE there.
i looked at the google map pretty thoroughly, but map reading’s not my forte … please tell me i’m wrong!
You can’t even see the BQE from that block, much less hear it, but the F train is at the end of the block and right over head. I know from living in the area that the F Train is the thing to be concerned about on that block.
I’m not sure where Anon 2:48 gets their info, but there isn’t a project anywhere near that block. The closest are the Red Hook Houses, which is on the other side of Hamilton Ave., and The Gowanus Houses up around Baltic & Bond Sts. in Boerum Hill. Neither of them are anywhere near those condo’s.
