Rental of the Day: 110 Livingston Street Studio
Guess some of the buyers at 110 Livingston Street were pure speculators investors. Sotheby’s now has a 675-square-foot studio for rent for $2,750 per month. The never-been-lived in space looks like it has pretty high ceilings and clean, high-end finishes and fixtures. It would be interesting to know what the buyer paid for this place…

It would be interesting to know what the buyer paid for this place to get a sense of what kind of return this rent would generate. Anyone know what the common charges are on a unit like this?

It’s 110 Livingston, not 100 Livingston.
The kitchen is tiny because the unit itself is tiny. The larger units have more storage (although similar open layouts). Some even have closed cabinets.
Considering the building is a few units shy from being sold out, I’d say that more than a few buyers are okay with this kind of kitchen layout.
I prefer open kitchens to closed kitchens, but then again, I’m a bachelor with no kids.
The kitchen is absolute absurdity. Its basically half an aisle kitchen with next to zero cabinet space.Can someone please explain why almost all the new construction in Brooklyn,Manhattan and even Queens have these dumb miniature kitchens. I always thought a spacious kitchen sells or rents the place. Obviously the developers dont think so.
This place is garbage.
I posted at 2:11 and my point was that I have a nice brownstone in Fort Greene and one of my apartments is renting for 1450, and it is 700 square feet. The rent is low for the area but in contrast to this apartment, a complete disconnect. That was my point, 6:17, not a brag. Jeez. Back to the apartment, though, 100 Livingston St, is not exactly the Heights. Give me a break.
I pay 1300 a month for a 350 square foot one bedroom hole in the wall that I got 12 months ago. The rental market in this part of town makes the home purchase market seem tame…do I win? 6:30, that’s all but impossible to find now.
Doesn’t matter though…someone will rent this apartment because it looks sexy and is 7 minutes from Wall Street. Same reason why I live where I do. Only barely in the heights, but I’ll take it. And I say let em have it.
reality is what people pay. not what people think the market is. i love all the posters who claim the house of the day is overpriced. you know what, these sell.
I see 5:49 brought some reality, but to add: I live in a 1300 sq ft (I measured it) 2BR/1BA with seven closets in a pre-war elevator building about three blocks west. It’s got a huge foyer we’ve turned into a library, an eat-in kitchen, and a 26×15 foot living room. And I pay $150 less. Moved in 18 months ago, so it’s not like I got a 2001 find.
Don’t be suckers, people. (And I’m addressing fellow renters.)
anon 2:11 YOU are smoking crack. There’s also two houses for sale in the heights for $7MM. I guess your house must be worth at least 10? I forgot Ft Green is such a better location than the heights.
This is the standard Two Trees kitchen design. The appliances are all very nice, but there isn’t enough storage. The open shelves will collect dust and all of your things will be covered in a layer of cooking grease (that is, if you actually cook in your apartment).
Seems like it’s simply a much cheaper design to implement than specing upper cabinets.
We pay that amount for a 2 br/2ba with washer/dryer in the heights.
Insane.
