The Argyle Unveiled

The netting is down and The Argyle is now exposed for the world to see. Not that we were expecting a whole lot but the effect is pretty underwhelming. The sales process, however, continues to limp towards the finish line. When we checked in seven weeks ago, there were 16 units left; today there are 13 left. Getting there!

4th Avenue’s Argyle 60% Sold [Brownstoner]
“Still the best looking building on Fourth Avenue”
I laughed at that, assuming it was a joke. 4th Ave. is trash, and this economy will meant it won’t improve as soon as had been thought.
The Gargyle is like the prettiest of an all-ugly group of girls hanging out in a skanky bar.
Still on a highway. Whatever.
Almost a million dollars for a 1239 square foot 3 bed in this thing? They should save themselves months of agony and just take 30% (at least) off the asking prices right now. Not that I’m a fan of the 4th Ave developments, but if you are going to be on 4th Ave you can at least be on the slope side and not the Gowanus side.
Some of the units under contract will not close. Maybe a lot of them.
The reason it had high sales numbers is it started selling way before the crash. A lot of those contracts won’t close.
I forgot about 500 4th avenue. I’ll have to go take a gander at that one. Open Houses this weekend… hmmm…
Building is nothing special to look at but have to admire those sales figures. I suppose it’s close to the subway but other than that I’m just not a fan of the new construction on 4th ave. Heritage on 2nd St gets my vote for best new construction in slope area last couple of years.
i’m gonna say it…
i think 500 4th avenue is better looking than this building
This is exactly what they said it was going to be – just looked at the posters on their 5th Ave store (which werent changed) – the main difference is that their renderings were taken from a more flattering angle and at dusk just as the light was hitting it just so…..
Frankly I think it looks fine – but for the horrible L shape part going onto 7th St. And besides it adds to the overwhelming evidence that the “Brownstoner aesthetic” is 1000% irrelevant when it comes to sales.
Yeah Z, that is totally different from the rendering, which showed a sleek glass building. I just went to their website, and the rendering there now is definitely not the one they used when they were peddling the building early on. If I had laid down my money I’d be pissed.
