Lookee what we have here: Images, finally, of the 38-story condo BFC Partners is building at 150 Myrtle. The ‘scraper will be dubbed Toren, which means “tower” in Dutch, and its unveiling is part of a New York Observer-sponsored event this Sunday that’ll showcase more than 40 luxury condos.

Lookee what we have here: Images, finally, of the 38-story condo BFC Partners is building at 150 Myrtle. The ‘scraper will be dubbed Toren, which means “tower” in Dutch, and its unveiling is part of a New York Observer-sponsored event this Sunday that’ll showcase more than 40 luxury condos. (Check out the rendering of Toren’s swimming pool on the jump.) In addition to 150 Myrtle, six of the other condos on display—One Hanson Place, 80 Metropolitan, Forte, One Brooklyn Bridge Park, The Edge, and Northside Piers—are in Brooklyn, a pretty good number considering the event is taking place in Manhattan and appears to be targeting Manhattanites. One such Manhattanite, in fact, is Observer owner Jared Kushner, who says he’s looking to buy a condo at the event.

Guys, unreleased units are not recorded on StreetEasy. Just saying.
I love the statement:
“Observer owner Jared Kushner, who says he’s looking to buy a condo at the event.”
LOL! He’s really going to forego his dad’s billions and buy in brooklyn??? I wonder if him making that statement was included in the fees the event paid to the Observer?
4:57 – “I hate, therefore, I post.”
4:57 – give us some numbers then.
First of all, these are not MY numbers. Go to http://www.streeteasy.com. THEIR numbers are based partly on public records (for apartments “sold”) and partly on surveys the properties themselves have filled our (for properties “in contract”). PUBLIC RECORD shows BellTell with 141 RECORDED SALES (with 23 in contract) and One Hanson with 182 RECORDED SALES (and 1 in contract). If you don’t this the records of RECORDED SALES are accurate, take that up with the city.
Therefore, if it’s wrong, it’s wrong, fair enough. My question for you 4:57 is, what are you basing YOUR numbers on? Just the fact that you’re a hater?
4:43 your numbers are completely off. Belltell is not 75% sold and One Hanson Place is definitely not 97% sold but keep drinking the kool aid being fed to you by your broker.
Guys, to be honest if you check on Street Easy, condo sales in Downtown BK and Ft. Greene are not THAT bad. ORO has sold 167 out of 300 available (or 55%), Belltell Lofts has sold 164 out of 219 (or 75%) and One Hanson Place has sold 183 out of 189 (or 97%). NO I’m not a broker…I’m a buyer at ORO, so admittedly I have a vested interest, but the point I’m making is that it appears that people are still buying and (last time I checked) prices ain’t dropping…at least not at the big commercial properties. As a matter of fact BellTell has increased prices on a lot of their available apartments (again, according to Street Easy).
Looks OK, but too bad they kill the street wall with that parking garage entrance.
I really respect “The New York Observer Presents Luxury Living” website for having a section informing us on the Coalition for the Homeless.
I know at these prices I may need their services one day.
Got any change?
