It hasn’t been long since we checked in on the sales progress at 226 15th Street, the South Slope condo that hit the market a couple months ago, but a couple new listings at the development asking more than $1,000,000 caught our eye. A broker handling the development had this to say: “Since we had so much interest in larger units and so many people came in asking for three bedrooms or larger two bedrooms and all of our two bedrooms are in contract, we decided to give people options for their two bed + home office or three bedroom layouts. The buyers can choose which layout they prefer and go into contract for that floor plan and the developer will do the work to combine two units.” The two pricey units that were just listed are a 1,460-square-foot three bedroom asking $1,200,000 and a similarly sized two bedroom asking the same price. Closings should begin next month. The broker tells us the seven units now in contract, which were listed for between $475,000 and $615,000, went for their asking prices.

  1. school over crowding is going to become and bigger and bigger problem in park slope. see people coming from all over to WB for prek and staying in district 14 because of this. both in current families and prospective families.

    within a couple of years, district 14 schools will become a brand new pull for Williamsburg/greenpoint generatin real estate purchases. there are 3 top rated schools already, and a 4th that’s rapidly improving and gentrifying in district 14. 2 schools are currently magnets, but with the growth, can see magnet status ending sooner rather than later.

    i’ve been following this now for about 8 years from when i started looking to move.

  2. The tax-abatement thing just pisses me off. IMBY is correct, lots of new families (welcome) but not paying the taxes they should for the next 15 years (not so welcome). So much for schools,, infrastructure and improvements. Just build more condos!

  3. Why does it amaze you ty? there is huge cash out there waiting to lend, buyers with good credit and mucho cash themselves, location is fine, condo market significantly tightening. Comps are an issue, but that will change this year.

    Brooklyn an international market too, just like manhattan.
