No Takers For Red Hook Piece o' Crap
It was with little surprise that we noticed last week that this pair of super fugly houses at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street in Red Hook have not found buyers yet. When will the builders of shlock get a clue. The unfortunate aesthetics may only be part of the difficulty in selling these places. The…
It was with little surprise that we noticed last week that this pair of super fugly houses at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street in Red Hook have not found buyers yet. When will the builders of shlock get a clue. The unfortunate aesthetics may only be part of the difficulty in selling these places. The other? The front-porch views of the Red Hook Houses. GMAP
This type of construction is a sad, sad commentary on the state of developer mindset today, all across NYC. It lacks inspiration, beauty, quality, and is almost as ugly as a Wal Mart store. It seems as though it is built to last 10-12 years, then jacked up on a hitch and wheeled away to West Virginia. The developers should be completely ashamed.
complete garbage dont waste your money
the front entrance gutter drains are an especially nice touch, don’t you think?!
The “architect” of these should have their license taken away. And the developer deserves to live in one of them himself.
Oh my God, it looks like Staten Island.
CHP, Don’t worry I wasn’t basing my comment on your price estimate. I know for a fact the original ask was over a million and is now down to 925K. I live in the nabe and watched these sorry excuses for architecture go up and then marvelled at the price they thought they could get.

I think the new townhouses on Coffey and the Condos on Dikeman and Richards are much nicer, though still not sparkling architectural gems.
Bushwick is littered with the not yet rotting corpses of this ‘style’ of building. A three fam shite house a few doors down from me was listed at 725k. Not bloody likely! I sense a ton of rentals coming on the market.
But hey, at least some of the vacant lots are gone 🙂
For clarity, my price of $900k is pure speculation based on similar houses in Bed Stuy. They may well want over a million for these, which means they really are crazy.
looking at those fugly buildings feels like a full body cavity search by an aggressive and beligerant border guard. ouch….i hope the developer gets stuck holding them till…forever.
Seamus is right. NYC should encourage some new format low rise family housing styles that are cheap to build to give direction to the clueless developers. These designs are killing this City.
