New Condos: Suite Sixteen Hits Market

This former vacuum bag factory on 16th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues is being turned into a five-story, 32-unit condominium residence with the unfortunate moniker Suite Sixteen. The Karl Fischer-designed building was vested under the former R6 zoning, which explains its height of 55 feet; it also used the “alteration permit” backdoor. Aguayo & Huebener has the first listing up now, a 1,400-square-foot, two-bedroom condo on the fourth floor for $1,199,000. Parking and an on-site gym are also available. The listing description is rife with high-end catch phrases and brand names and is clearly targeting a buyer with money to spend. Do you think there’s going to be an appetite for this kind of listing this far south?

HUEBENER IN RUSSIAN MINS -DICKFUCKER-THIS IS FUNNYEST LAST NAME I HAVE EVER SEEN
I’ve owned my brick home in the South Slope for the past 18 years, and gone are the days of knowing your neighbors, single homes, uncrowded streets, and privacy. As I walk through my neighborhood I see the charm it once held going the way of the Dodo. Roof top views that were once free and available to all have been held captive now to the highest bidder. Some might consider these “new constructions” as improvements to this “ghetto” neighborhood, but remember you are the one moving into these “ghetto” neighborhoods. There are a lot of us “ghetto” people that you will be bumping into and that will not be moving away.
The sad part is that people that were born and bred in Brooklyn have to share space with newbies who use words like “ghetto” to describe my neighborhood and my neighbors.
Welcome to the “ghetto” neighbor.
11 people in contract huh? Wow, funny ahrealty only shows 3. Have fun repairing all your “finishes” jackass.

No problem, actually the project is in doubts on the corner, and I could care less. I’m sure you could afford to buy one of these kick ass apartments if you got off your fat ass and stopped trying to be smart commenting on developments you can’t buy because your a jealous loser. Oh and You don’t know shit about construction but, you can ogle over my finishes and the other 11 or so people who are in contract any day. Jackass!
Congrats Alex! Welcome, you will be living directly across the street from a halfway house AND a few houses away from the now sold parking lot on 16th St & 5th Ave. The parking lot is being developed into a five-story 49 studio apts. 29 of the apts will be for individuals in the city Homeless Shelter system WITH a Mental Illness diagnosis, while the remaining 20 units will be reserved for low-income.
Your new home is not as disgustingly constructed as the building across the street at 231 16th St. However the contractors are the same and rush to assemble both shoddy buildings. Hope your interior doesn’t start to fall apart within a year.
Glad none of you morons will be my neighbors! I bought one!!
I think 11:01 has never visited this site before now.
I can’t believe the door to the breaker box is on the living room wall. What did they expect people to do, hang a poster or painting over it?
Sadly what will happen to South Slope is it will become ALL buildings like this. The developers can’t knock down houses in Park Slope, or in other landmarked areas, and the city wants more housing, so buh-bye to the little vinylsiders and auto repair shops that dot South Slope.
11:01 Have you forgot what site you are on! People who visit this site spend their lifetimes renovating brownstones-stripping paint-restoring original plaster details-Maybe they’re used to, even spoiled, by a quality of construction and craftmanship that no longer exits.
