One Hanson Breaks 50 Percent Barrier
Looks like the expansive hors d’oeuvres spread at the open house that the developers of One Hanson Place threw for brokers a couple of weeks back gave the sales effort that extra push it needed. (Or maybe it was the wool-knit cap lead Corco broker Adam Pacelli was sporting.) Either way, we just learned it…
Looks like the expansive hors d’oeuvres spread at the open house that the developers of One Hanson Place threw for brokers a couple of weeks back gave the sales effort that extra push it needed. (Or maybe it was the wool-knit cap lead Corco broker Adam Pacelli was sporting.) Either way, we just learned it was enough to push the 189-unit development over the 50% sold milestone. The renewed momentum is welcome news, we’re sure, after a very slow 4th quarter last year. We were able to pop our heads into the open house to see a finished two-bedroom and gotta say it looked pretty nice. What we really want to know, though, is who’s gonna step up for that 4-story penthouse in the tower when it hits the market. Can’t imagine what the price tag on that baby will be.
I also bought a one bedroom facing fort greene and do not think AY will have any negative effect. I fell in love with the building and the location and believe it is a fantastic investment. They are very firm on prices… i think because it is over half sold. I know several other buyers who recently bought in the building. They previously checked every condo on the market in brooklyn and felt that nothing compared.
What I don’t understand is the ad campaign. There are full page ads all over the Times magazie and RE section, with photos of the model units. But is anyone who wants to live in Brooklyn really going to be attracted to a bedroom with matching drapes and wallpaper?? Gross!
There was no negotiation of price for me. I bought a 1 BR/1 Home Office Unit with Fort Greene views. I am in no rush to move in, but my closing should be sometime in the fall. I believe the building will have many young professionals as well as buyers who have fallen in love with the building’s architecture.
D,
Did the seller negotiate with you at all, or was it sticker price? They seem pretty serious about getting sticker price for the units.
Anonymous 8:09 –> I just bought a lower floor one-bedroom unit in the building. My unit faces Fort Greene, away from the arena. I don’t foresee AY construction having a dramatic impact on my living experience beyond overall neighborhood congestion. I’ll be too far away to hear construction noise, and my Brooklyn views won’t be touched.
What I love about the building (and I searched a long time before buying): built-in history, beautiful units, high ceilings, dope subway access, proximity to BAM (I’m on the same block as my fave NYC movie theater), decent square footage price, short walks to Fort Greene and Park Slope, long walks to Prospect Park and Cobble Hill, excellent investment potential. I have no kids yet, so schools weren’t a factor for me.
I’m as curious as anyone to see how AY will come to life and impact the neighborhood. Political opinions aside, however, it seems the development will inevitably lead to an increase of amenities in the area.
To be honest, however, all I care about is whether LeBron will move into the building when he joins the Nets in a few years’ time. (Naah, forget that. He’ll probably move to the Meier building. Oh well.)
Seriously looked at 1 Hanson, just unsure of the market, and it’s really hard putting that much down, and making the commitment when there is no guaranteed delivery date. The apartment I looked at couldn’t see AY, or Manhattan, and didn’t have such a great overall view. I’m going to pass. Seems to have alot of potential though.
I wonder who is buying in this building? Is anybody buying on the side facing the proposed arena? How noisy is it in there? Where will these people hang out? Where will they send their kids to school? Please post replies as obviously the agent and/or the developer are on here. I’m really just curious. Thanks.
Get a grip Fred
But where will all the children with crooked teeth go now?
Where will they go?
This was crooked teeth central.
