This week, the Hudson bloggers relay some big news…
Third + Bond’s condo plan has been approved by the Attorney General’s Office! We no longer need the fine print: From our lawyers: This is not an offering. No offering can be made until an offering plan is filed with the Department of Law of the State of New York.” We are excited to be able to market the project freely and SIGN CONTRACTS!
In the boom days, upon receipt of condo plan approval we would’ve immediately thrown open the doors to a (nearby) sales office and turned on the coffee machine. Keeping the prospective buyers from tripping each other on the way to the contract signing would have been routine. We remember several previous projects when the model apartments were finished, the brokers were hired, the waiting lists were antsy, and we sat around for weeks painfully awaiting plan approval. When the call finally came, there were always shouts and cheers, the plan is approved, we can start selling, go go go. Today we expect buyers to take more time to contemplate their purchase. We also expect that fewer buyers will be comfortable buying a residence they can see only on paper. So the good news about the Third + Bond plan was more of a by-the-way email instead of an urgent phone call.
We plan to wait until this autumn, when the model apartments are ready, to start marketing in earnest. Soon though, we’ll launch our teaser website to give you a hint of things to come and to help prospective buyers contact us. And as of RIGHT NOW you can call our (off-site) sales office at 718-290-2490. And yes, you can sign your contract(s) any time now, the phone lines are open.
Inside Third & Bond: Weeks 1-82 [Brownstoner]
Heather & Dalton,
The early weeks have a lot of what you are looking for, for example in Week 6 and 8 we posted draft floor plans for two different units…
@brownstoner: I know how to find the archives… I just wasn’t excited about searching through all 82 weeks to find the price. I guess I’ll wait until the website it up.
FYI – Third & Bond will be a stop on the GreenHomeNYC Green Buildings Open House this Saturday, May 9: http://greenhomenyc.org/events/greenhomenyc-spring-green-buildings-open-house
I agree it’s pretty interesting to see this come along from the ground up. When people complained about the lack of response to your detailed posts, I always thought the point of it all was more in the having of the finished product with all of its history openly available. I expect things will liven up too when you start posting floor plans and fixture choices…
The archives are on the link at the bottom of the post that says “Inside Third & Bond: Weeks 1-82”!
I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I can’t find it in the archives. What pricepoint are you going for with this project?
Congrats and good luck. Keep in mind what corcoran had to say about the market: the bells and whistles don’t work anymore.
It’s been great watching this development take shape from inception and i really appreciate the insider’s look. Finding and making a home is so personal, and it is that much more personal when you know HOW your home was made, how much sweat and tears (and marketing) went into it.
I hope you guys use your Brownstoner posts as part of your sales package, the “bio” of the building. Its a unique thing. I wish i had that kind of week by week status report of how my house was built, in 1878!
