Saying Hello (Living) to Pacific Blue
As we’ve said before, the whole Hello Living complex that’s springing up on Pacific Street is a game-changing step for eastern Prospect Heights.

As we’ve said before, the whole Hello Living complex that’s springing up on Pacific Street is a game-changing step for eastern Prospect Heights. When signs of the six-building project first started sprouting up, we didn’t quite know what to make of it. Of course, we were psyched for the heretofore down-on-its-luck block to get an injection of residents (and all that would mean in terms of trickle-down demand for services in the nabe) but it wasn’t immediately clear whether this was the work of a madman or a genius. Perhaps just an optimist. The strategy of putting a building with high-end finishes and amenities in a decidely not high-end location seems to be paying off: Eight out of 15 units at the Madison (925 Pacific) are already in contract; another four are in contract at the Hudson (935 Pacific). (The first buyer in the Madison, by the way, was a young indie rocker of some repute.) About 50 people turned up at first open house last weekend; there’s another one on Sunday from 1 to 3 pm. Have any readers been inside?

i think this is an interesting juxtaposition with yesterday’s thread, “Fantastic 4th?” at novo, 345K gets you 615 square feet, while at the madison, 380K gets you 566 square feet. (all footage per brokers.) the madison is more off the beaten path, but has 18 foot ceilings and a bunch of shared amenities (including grilled corn.) plenty of room in this comparison for personal preferences, but i think hello living makes fourth avenue look good.
this apt sucks!!
the sales people are very bad!! they don’t know anything about the building!!
they are asking people bid on the apt and we decided the cxl the apt and they called us bk same day to get the apt cause the other buyer didn’t want~!

I dont think any bstones were hurt in these projects. That block was full of empty lots not too long ago
3:04 makes an excellent point, nothing takes the elan out of glassy minimalism faster than kiddie toys, trikes, buckets and brooms on your neighbor’s balcony.
And please imagine balconies covered with bikes, mops and other clutter.
