The Latest On The Smith
A reader stopped in at the sales office of The Smith yesterday and emailed us with this report: There are only 12 units left, according to the sales agent, and they range in price from $725,000 to $1,295,000. (This photo is a couple of months old.) The retail component to the project hasn’t been finalized…
A reader stopped in at the sales office of The Smith yesterday and emailed us with this report: There are only 12 units left, according to the sales agent, and they range in price from $725,000 to $1,295,000. (This photo is a couple of months old.) The retail component to the project hasn’t been finalized but the agent said he thought that it was likely a Gourmet Garage or Dean & Deluca could wind up there. Doesn’t hurt the sales pitch, that’s for sure! Any other gossip on the building floating around out there?
Wazzup at Da Smith? [Brownstoner]
I pass by this location several times a week as I live in Carroll Gardens. The pace of construction is glacial, although it has picked up recently. It is a real mystery to me why this is a good time to buy here (if at all). The House of D is not going anywhere anytime soon, and there are plenty of other condos on the market with better locations and amenities at comparable prices. I am at a loss to see the attraction. Am I missing something?
There’s no “yards” at the HofD — it’s the roof. I thought the apartments looked cheap — transient really. This is hardly the Plaza or waldorf — would you want to live in a hotel here? And there is supposed to be ther other “Aloft” hotel at Atlantic and Boerum — one block down.
This building looks more and more like the jail next door everyday. Lux plus Pop plus Jail.
any REAL gossip about the hotel? I last heard that they hadn’t gotten anyone to run it.
You can see what’s sold by clicking around the “Floor Plans” section of the site: http://www.75smith.com/ Seems like what the realtor said is accurate.
number of units left doesn’t actually equal number of units unsold. typically they only release a few at a time
LOL… When I was shopping for a condo in Williamsburg in 2003, the real estate agent told me that the commercial units were going to be a Gourmet Garage as well.
I guess its time to add that line to the Real Estate sales crap that is tossed around.
I hear that some of those apartments will have great views of the Bklyn House of D. I’d pay big bucks to watch the strappling lads lift weights in the yards, or to have a line up of people from the bailbonds place (bad apple being one) hanging out on my corner.
Supposedly, the hotel part is going to open April (we’ll see).
Is this same time frame prospective buyers of the condo’s are hoping for?
