Fischer-palooza Continues: Warehouse Eleven Condos
Are you on the list? The coming out party for the Karl Fischer-designed Warehouse Eleven condos is January 31 and it’s invitation only. With 120 units to move in a not-so-hot environment for new condos, you think they’d ditch the velvet rope on this one. While we like the proportions of those corner units, we’re…

Are you on the list? The coming out party for the Karl Fischer-designed Warehouse Eleven condos is January 31 and it’s invitation only. With 120 units to move in a not-so-hot environment for new condos, you think they’d ditch the velvet rope on this one. While we like the proportions of those corner units, we’re not convinced there’s an endless supply of folks lookingto drop $845,000 for a one-bedroom apartment in Williamsburg these days. To be fair, though, there are some other one-bedrooms for under $500,000 and they have just as much use of the perks like full-time doorman, fitness center and, yes, yoga garden. This is another one that’ll be interesting to watch.

This is the Roebling Oil Field building. How can you post it and not even mention its past? Don’t you think people should be able to make the connection and decide for themselves whether there is a risk for them and more important for their kids?
my money is on person b.
what a ugly projact
2:18, who exactly is suffering from cognitive dissonance? Is it:
person a, who investigates the real estate situation in Williamsburg–looking both at the buildings themselves and the public records– and comments accordingly based on these observations, or is it
person b, who knows that these darned things are crap built on top of crap and that won’t sell because, well, dammit, they shouldn’t?
If you think Williamsburg is getting better, you are insane. What an overrated and ridiculously overpriced neighborhood. Whoever pays $845k (or,700k or 500k) for a condo in that neighborhood is in for a serious shock over the next few years. Have fun with that..
Whatever the haters say, Williamsburg is changing for the better and becoming a more pleasant neighborhood to live in. The developers are at least planting trees, putting ugly wiring underground, and lighting up streets that used to be pitch black and quite bleak at night. Add that to the fact that it’s 5 minutes from the city, and I dont think the Burg will be the first area to seriously depreciate. For every new building that goes up there are more and more services like restaurants, grocery stores, and cafes. Would you really prefer theat the neighborhood remained full of empty warehouses 2:18?
12:40 and 1:43 obviously bought something in the Williamsburg and are having major cognitive dissonance. Stop trying to trick others in. We are not interested in being in your sinking boat. Please enjoy the imminent property value depreciation of your overbuilt/overpriced neighborhood alone, quietly.
The explanation offered about the oil that oozed up when they dug the foundation was that it was coming from a ruptured oil tank under a neighboring building. This is not allegedly related to the Greenpoint Oil Spill.
Let’s say there is some oil contamination in the soil underneath the foundation. Is that going to lead to structural problems? Flipper babies? “Groundwater” issues (we don’t use the groundwater in NY)? You must be joking.
They’ve built a condo building, not an organic farm. Not a broker here, just tired of idiotic comments on this Monday.
The 1BR totally is worth the $845k, considering you’ll have your own oil well in the basement. Perfect mansion for The Williamsburg Hillbillies!
