Last we checked in with 424 Lafayette Avenue, the developer was trying to flip the site before starting construction. Now look at it: It’s all grown up into a Scarano wannabe. The seven-unit building is described in the listings as being located in “the heart of Historic Clinton Hill,” which is a bit of a stretch, given that it’s east of Classon. (It is conveniently located across the street from the projects, though.) The interiors look fine in a mid-2005-Developers-Group kinda way. As for pricing, there are three smaller units priced between $272,000 and $359,000 and three 932-square-foot units priced between $615,000 and $625,000. Not crazy dough for the units themselves, but this location ain’t exactly scenic. There’s an open house this Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Development Opp: Midstream on Lafayette [Brownstoner]
so insulting that this broker would call this the center of historic clinton hill. perhaps she hasn’t seen the mansions on clinton or washington avenues. this location is not very nice and i live in the neighborhood. there is a bus stop right there and as mentioned, the view leaves much to be desired. the prices on the two bedrooms is ridiculous.
“… because there will so many of them and they are all exactly the same.” The same can be said of the brownstone houses in Brooklyn too. As other posters pointed out, not all brownstones are solid and likewise not all contemporary buildings are craptastic. This one blows though.
Like it or not this condo is as DHIC as the David Salle house on Hanson Pl in FG. Look, we don’t live in the past century. Move forward and be on the cutting edge.
As an earlier poster said this is bed stuy not clinton hills and the prices are way too high. lets check back on these in 3 months and see how much they are reduced by.
I heard superman was really from park slope
Aren’t these much more psf than the pre-war co-op that was apartment of the day yesterday? Does the difference in maintenance balance out the equation? That apartment was overlooking Prospect Park, had a true kitchen, LR and DR.
This building would be worth buying into if it were in Park Slope. Park Slope is the best place in the world.
THIS IS BED-STUY AND OVERPRICED.
On the plus side, very close to the historic Cash Money Brothers district…
