Catching Up With The Terraces on Court
The building’s not much to look at in our opinion and the interiors look like many other developments to hit the market in the last couple of years, but that hasn’t stopped about half the units at 529 Court Street from selling, though we can’t recall how long they’ve been on the market. It looks…
The building’s not much to look at in our opinion and the interiors look like many other developments to hit the market in the last couple of years, but that hasn’t stopped about half the units at 529 Court Street from selling, though we can’t recall how long they’ve been on the market. It looks like the remaining units are priced at around $600 a foot which doesn’t seem outrageous. It just makes us wonder again about how all the new condos are going to be absorbed in the weakening market. There’s a finite supply of nice prewar apartments, so we’d expect those to hold up much better as things cool off.

If I’m correct that Marc Freud is the developer of this building, look for there to be construction problems that plague new owners of apartments here. The building looks much like 636 Pacific, another Freud building and current home to Dan Goldstein of DDDB, which was riddled with issues.
To the poster (advertising) at 1:15 yesterday, could you really live in a bulding that doesn’t appear to be finished yet?
The outside of this building makes me sick it’s so awful! The juliet balconies that face court street are probably about 2 feet deep…so if you just need a place to smoke…
that part of CG around smith/9th is a monstrosity. Whats up with Russo realty?
They have all those buildings facing the
smith/9th that look like they’re about to fall down and plasters the neighborhood with crappy ads for Notary services of all things!
They are great (balconies) for your nicotine addicted guests to go out for a fix.
Also would be pretty dangerous if the sliding glass door had nothing to stop you from falling out.
It may be part of some fire code reg but not sure how that works.
I’m wondering how the Juliet balconies help Orthodox Jews–I was under the impression you were supposed to eat outdoors during Sukkoth (I forget if it’s under the stars or under the boughs)–can a table and chairs really fit on these things? Maybe it’s just a way to add perceived value–you know, 2 bedrooms plus a balcony. Even if the balcony is impractical for, as somebody noted, anything but storing a bike.
Just think if you pay 1million and get the munchies late at night you can walk to Mcdonalds and get burger and fries for less than 6 bucks!! COOL.
I just walked by it. Bland it is from outside. Eyesore it is not. – condition of buildings around it not great and of course the BQE isn’t pretty. So I think the one comment about gritty aesthetic is right.
Because you don’t find a building attractive doesn’t mean it is structurally inferior. Structurally all these new building are pretty much the same.
The noise from BQE was much quieter than I would have thought.
Couple blocks up Court St. seems like plenty of new restaurants.
It may not apply to this neighborhood, but I’ve always been told that terraces/balconies/whatever are a plus if you’re looking to sell to Orthodox Jews, who can use them to celebrate that outdoor holiday in autumn, the name of which escapes me (starts with an S).
Big ups to BubbleUp!! Anon at 3:22 is clearly the developer or an employee–no hip person or neighborhood person regards this piece of crap as anything other than the crass pile of junk it is. Still, the developer will make a mint, while the investors who buy in will lose their shirts and the actual residents who are invested in the area not just financially but socially and civically will be stuck with an eyesore built to deteriorate!
