475 Sterling Ready for Prime-Time

We’ve been keeping a close watch on 475 Sterling Place for the past year (though not as close a watch as this guy). As we’ve mentioned before, we think this area on the border between Prospect Heights and Crown Heights will be one of the most fertile spots for residential development in Brooklyn in the coming years. According to the builder’s website, the developer is CPC Resources, the for-profit arm of the Community Preservation Corporation and the same group that is developing the Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg. The 45-unit building will have 750-square-foot one-bedrooms starting at $399,000; there are also two-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 924 to 1,125 square feet and price from $489,000 to $615,000. If the interiors are decent, we suspect there will be demand at these prices. We’ll know about those interiors soon enough, as the first showing is at an open house on Saturday Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. (Full disclosure: An ad for this development will be going up on the site in a few days.)

“Hey 2:07, watch some other movies and come up with some new quotes.”
Someday this war’s gonna end. That’d be just fine with the boys on the boat. They weren’t looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I’d been back there, and I knew that it just didn’t exist anymore.
This the best quote to sum up this madness. Someday my friend someday.

“Bitches, leave.”

I wouldn’t want to live in a glass box, but I am sure there would be a lot of interest at this price, as long as it’s not crap inside.

The What.
Maybe have a play, the windows are fucking big enough.
like living in a fish tank! wouldn’t matter where the building was located.
I think we do have to go there.
There was just a story recently about a woman being shot inside her home from a stray bullet. With this wall of glass, I would consider it.
This is not the safest area in Brooklyn, you do realize. Not horrible either, but if you lived on those first couple floors, you’d probably want to put drapes to cover the windows copmpletely after dark. Seems to negate the point of having the windows in the first place. All I’m sayin…
Oh please, 12:34, do we have to go there every time? I would think for the safety issue in ANY neighborhood, these all glass window units wouldn’t be too cool.
I wouldn’t want to be on those floors for the same reasons the first poster gave, it’d be like living in a diorama.
We have friends who bought a new 2 br on St.Marks nearby last year and are pretty happy with the neighborhood. In Brooklyn, it’s always good to be within walking distance of PP. And for a young family or couple wanting to have children, $500 a square foot is a great price. I do question, however, how many people are going to want to live on the first floor.
