Development Watch: 159 Classon Avenue
In a sign of how fast interest has grown in the no-man’s-land between Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and South Williamsburg, after changing hands in October 2003 for just $1.55 million, this property at 145-159 Classon Avenue sold for $3.5 million just five months later in March 2004.

In a sign of how fast interest has grown in the no-man’s-land between Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and South Williamsburg, after changing hands in October 2003 for just $1.55 million, this property at 145-159 Classon Avenue sold for $3.5 million just five months later in March 2004. The DOB filings say that the five-story building, which occupies more than 200 feet of street frontage on Classon is only going to be 35,000 square feet and have 20 residential units. Unless there’s a very large courtyard in the rear, this would have to be two to three times that size. Easy. As for looks, as the close-up photo shows, it’s got more of a Hasidic than Scarano vibe going on. Perhaps Scarano, who signed the original plans back in 2004, was replaced on the project?

Burn it down.
Burn it down.
Gentile…is that like the same thing as an infidel?
I hope one day I can fit in somewhere…
damn religion and the labels associated with it!
i can’t wait to do a coffee table book on hasidic architecture. it will be a best seller and for you, cheap!
Adriennui, you are adorable. Thanks for the lesson on politeness.

semetic is the incorrect spelling. i assume you mean semitic….and yes the hasidic have screwed up all these different neighborhoods. i so much preferred the dirty curtain on the windows vibe and the screams of babies tumbling out of 3rd floor windows which didn’t have bars.
take a deep breath, count to 10 and lower your dose of snark pills.
merci.
Yeah, and those bars will keep the children inside the building if it catches on fire, too. Very scary.
also the bars are as much to keep the kids in the windows as the burglers out…
I believe that staggered balconies are often an indication that it is a Hasidic building. I think they are used for building sukkahs.
