Van Halen Tickets? No, Just an Open House

We’ve been hearing word that the open house at 11 Second Place in Carroll Gardens was a mob scene this weekend, with reports of a line stretching down the block. One neighbor speculates that the lack of decent 2 bedroom apartments in the nabe explains the frenzied interest in the 7-unit development. According to the Corcoran website, 1,500-square-feet will run you over a million bucks. We haven’t seen the building in person (which is still under construction) but can’t understand what all the excitement is about. Did any readers get to see it this weekend?

The reason for the long lines for this open house is simple; location location location.
You’d be hard pressed to find a condo on one of the “place” blocks in Carroll Gardens.
Needle in a haystack my friends.
I can’t find a link to back this up, but I remember reading an article about all the tricks that are used to boost the square footage of an apartment – you include space that is outside the front door, you measure to the >outside< of the walls … and you don’t subtract all the interior walls from the square footage of course … oh, those darn RE Agents !
These look like nothing special to me.
But they are condos. My husband often talk about the fact that if we were buying now, we would have to buy a condo. We make a bit under 200k combined. At today’s prices, we would just barely be able to put 20% down and would not have enough left over or a high enough HHI to get past a board. No way.
How did you find out they are including elevator and hallways in square footage??
Yes building is in middle of block…I remember a parking lot there so may not have torn down anything.
I believe that ‘sq. footage’ is probably something in ‘offering plan’ in the prospectus and filed with NYState….so dubious whether it is ‘Corcoran’ that is doing the calculating or quoting anything that other agencies don’t quote.
Love it – Corcoran is now including the common halls and elevator when calculating the apartments sq ft. What a joke
If memory serves me, this is on a block with all 4 story brownstones with front gardens. Does anyone know if they tore something down to build this? Is it on a corner lot, or has it been built in the middle of the block?
Is this the one that was supposedly going to have the “baby concierge?” LOL
Didn’t go to this one, but did go to an open house at the ‘Carriage House’ on 15th street – also by Corcodevil. Geez, are they overpriced – pretty, but overpriced. The few units they had open: a one-bedroom for $690k, a two-bedroom (with spectacular viewes) for $890k…
Tons of traffic. I hope they all sell for ask!
