No Luck on Luquer: New Condos Too Pricey

Over at 423 Smith, they’re bemoaning being priced out of a location that they thought was in reach:
Mostly disappointed with the buildings going up in the neighborhood, I thought the condos going up on Luquer Street (between Smith and Court) to be acceptable and could see myself living there. And then I saw the prices! $1,095,000.00 for a 1 bedroom, 2 bath? Holy Jeebus! Granted, that’s the most expensive unit and you can get a 2 bedroom, 1 bath for $650,000.00 – but even that still seems ridiculous to me for this end of Carroll Gardens. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of Carroll Gardens and would gladly move from my Union Street apartment to Luquer (closer to work!) but I think I’d rather spend my 1 mil on a brownstone.
We agree with the sentiment, but unfortunately $1 million ain’t gonna go too far in the Carroll Gardens brownstone market either.

That thing on Hicks is disgusting!
We viewed a beautiful development in Carroll Gardens on Carroll Street. The finishes we were shown were beautiful. It is between Hicks and Columbia but some of them even come with parking and they were priced well under $700 a square foot. The views of Manhattan are spectacular.
This whole thread is prompted by some sadly mis-informed person thinking he or she can buy a brownstone for the price of a luxury condo in carroll gardens. The whole premise makes no sense to begin with. This person probably couldn’t afford either one.
trying finding a 850 sq. ft. condo in carrolls gardens with luxury finishes and balconies for under $700 k. what you are getting is a deluxe apartment with beautiful wood floors, amazing cook’s kitchen and two bedrooms with balconies off the front and back in a great brooklyn neighborhood.
Don’t get ahead of yourself. The developers group priced these units and they priced them wrong beacause they don’t know lick about the market!
developers do the same thing most over zealous sellers do – price way to high and then be pissed down the line when whatever it is won’t sell. When a seller is “house proud” as these guys rightly are, they’re blinded by their own emotional attachment.
The development on 2nd Place is way out of context to the street, it distracts you from the beautiful queen annes to the west. The ugly silver are handler/vent on top, couldn’t they’ve painted it black or something… geeze
You heard it here first people. There’s a large sign with information posted on the site. Imagine that.
When I’m on the F train and looking at project, I always see how the huge air handler on the roof of the penthouse was installed inclined the rest of the roof rather than plumb. That is, what could have been a juicy silhouette, a piece of LA in Brooklyn, just looks slap dash and not controlled. Oh well.
