Wazzup at Da Smith?
Back in December, there were reports that nine out of the 50 units at The Smith had already sold. Prices, at that point, ranged from $550,000 to $985,000. Since then, though, we haven’t heard much about how sales are going. From the looks of it, the move-in date is still a ways off though. The…

The Post Looks at 75 Smith [Brownstoner] GMAP
I’m surprised people think this is a desirable neighborhood. It certainly isn’t ‘brownstone brookyn’ and the retail stores in the area -the mall- are pretty downscale.
the four or five story section is going to be a boutique hotel, not apartments so I guess they are less concerned with the view and more with the accoutrements.
The Smith primariy faces Atlantic Ave and in back State St. Some windows on side do look toward jail. But windows of jail itself also look toward Atlantic and State – and don’t face east toward this bldg. So no view into jail of from inside jail.
these are boymelgreen condos so u can expect a move in date that drifts ever further out into the futre, shoddy costruction to the point of walls falling down about you and agents who will lie to you about the completion of punch lists and ammenities just to get you to sign on the dotted line.
these developers are criminals…
caveat emptor peoples!
Btw, to anon yesterday @ 12:06, the jail may/may not be a non-issue (depends on the person, no?), but the building is **directly** across the street from said house of detention. There are no buildings in between “The Smith” and “The Jail.” There are other buildings that also face the jail (53 Boerum may be one of them), but be very sure that from the upper floors of The Smith, you’ll have a fantastic view of what’s going down in Cell Block H.
Long hike to the subway??
What parallel universe do you live in??
Do you people live in grand central station? I don’t know how much closer to the train station you can get.
you can take a hansome cab (or hop on a B75 or B61 bus) a few blocks.

Saturation Point achieved:
face reality: the market is cooling down>>lots more new condos vs. buyers.

Rude sales people don’t help the situation either.
i stopped into the sales center about 2 months ago – and all the lower priced units (the 1 bdrms) were all sold.
at that time, they were projecting april or may 2007 move-ins. so that probably means that no one will be moving in until summer or early fall.
It looks like all of the lower units are sold. The building has a long way to go to be completed. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took until April to get the first move-ins.
Baltic off Smith is about a 30 second walk to subway entrance at Smith and Warren.
