Condos of the Day: No Buyers for 45 Third Place

Justice continues to prevail in the case of the Carroll Gardens Atrocity. The addition is now complete and both the upper and lower duplexes, listed for $1,555,000 and $1,595,000 respectively, continue to sit on the market. If it weren’t for the butchery of the exterior and complete disregard for the community on the part of the developer, these things might be doing a little better, as the interiors look decent. Could it be that potential buyers are afraid of the social shunning that could happen if they vote with their wallets in favor of this place?

Some of the garden blocks are landmarked. I get the impression that until recently the longtime residents were not pro-landmarking because they didn’t want anyone butting into their business and telling them what to do. Cobble Hill next door IS landmarked. Seems sentiments have been changing recently.
You know, I don’t know why this area isn’t landmarked. I was driving along the beautiful Clinton St. (don’t know if it was Carrol Cardens or Cobble Hill) but noticed that the streets weren’t landmarked, despite the rows and rows of gorgeous brownstones.?????@@@!!
This bastard spawn is reminiscent of the Republic Bank (now HSBC) building at 40th and Fifth across from the NY Public Library:
Mammon satan humping the old, stylish doyenne. Pure and simple. Money and sex.
I think the word is “vile”
Bile is something made in your liver,
So maybe you’re right.
What’s the right word . . . . hmmm. . . . Oh yeah . . . . bile.
I just spent more time thinking of the right word to describe this development than the developer spent thinking about how his building looks.
As bob999 says, this is not a landmark district. LPC does approve visible, even cutting edge, additions – both Packer and Poly mentioned above were approved by LPC, as was the front entrance to the Brooklyn Museum. LPC would NOT approve this addition, for the simple fact that (as everyone has noted) it completely overwhelms to historic building. And its ugly.
Brown Harris should be ashamed…how about some integrity?…geez
Slopehead, Sweety, I called you hotness, not hot mess.
Holy crap! Forget the house; what’s with the music on the developers website?
