Smith N Court Blows Its Load

In another case of premature website ejaculation, the homepage for the 23-unit Smith N Court just dropped. (Thanks to Set Speed for spotting this one.) Despite its name, the 5-story, 33,000-square-foot project is actually located at 52 Dean Street and is scheduled to be completed this summer. It’s never too early to start chumming the waters though! Except for the penthouses and the ground-floor maisonettes, it looks like most of the apartments are geared toward the married-couple-with-one-small-child crowd, as the predominant floorplan includes a master bedroom plus a small second bedroom. No word on prices. Any early field reports on this one?
Update: Some pricing information just found its way into our inbox. The 2,868-square-foot triplex townhouse is asking a hefty $2,725,000. The cheapest apartment in the building is a 776-square-foot one-bedroom on the second floor for $610,000. The most expensive is the 1,526-square-foot top-floor three-bedroom with an asking price of $1,525,000. Size breakdown: 1 townhouse, 3 one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms, and 2 three-bedrooms. The average price per square foot appears to be in the $750 to $800 range. Parking spots are a cool $70,000 a pop.

“and free of monthly maintenance charges”
excuse me? have you ever owned a townhouse???? clearly not if you can say this with a straight face. the upkeap on a townhouse can and usually is quite hefty.
what is more mind boggling to me is that eryximachus has never made a single positive comment on this board. EVER.
for someone who is in their 20’s who makes over a hundred grand a year, you sure are an unhappy guy.
proves money does indeed not buy happines.
“The 2,868-square-foot triplex townhouse is asking a hefty $2,725,000.”
Holy crap! Are they nuts? Apart from the fact that there are plenty of nice REAL townhouses around that are larger, less expensive, and free of monthly maintenance charges, I kind of wonder whether the “lower level”, which is obviously included in the stated square footage, is actually classifiable as habitable space as opposed to basement space.
Brownstoner’s link to DOB is off— address is 52 Dean (not the 525 address link brings you to).
are you sure it’s 525 dean? the dob site doesn’t show any recent permits
I think any lawsuit would be against owner/developer of Boerum Place if they hid fact that one some windows weren’t legal,etc. (BTW – The Boerum Place condos look very nice and I believe are Scarano designed).
You can’t blame new developer – they are building as of right.
Who writes your headlines…Gersh Kunzman? Imus?
I think I would be hopping mad if I had bought and apartment in the Boerum Place condos next door that faces that development. This development, in an unneighborly fashion, has impinged on the light and views (totally blocked out in some cases)of Boerum Place owners in its attempt to maximize FAR. Surprised I have not heard of any complaints or lawsuits.
They don’t appear to be exactly huge, either. Despite appearances of scale, the (nearly illegible) square footage totals for rooms suggest things are quite small. Even the triplex appears to be no more than 1350 sq. ft. – and while that’s hardly “small”, it ends up as only about 450 sq. ft. per floor… I’d rather have a duplex with 675 sq. ft. per floor (or even a simplex with it all on the same stage).
