The new development at 228 16th Street in the South Slope just hit the market. There are no interior photos posted yet but we’re not holding our breath: These babies are brought to you by BK Developers, whose stomach-turning work already dots this corner of Brooklyn. When we looked at the development progress last fall, one commenter had this to say: “S#!+ Sandwich!” Ultimately, buyers will decide. Prices range from $395,000 to $595,000 for studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. GMAP
Sad state of affairs. It sucks for the people not stupid enough to buy into this bubble but have to walk past visual disasters such as this one. The dumbing down of people who got caught up in this housing disaster will leave way too many reminders…
“I’ve certainly seen far worse as far as condo facades go”
Thanks raphel9 for backing me up on my “sh*t sandwich” observation fro ALL off BK’s jobs
Wait, never connected the dots…could BK Development’s “sh*t sandwich” actually be a double Whopper with cheese? Or is the sh*hit come as a side with the fries?
I raise my glass (not kidding, hoisting one as I type) to the further lowering of the bar of architecture on South Brooklyn…and I live in a frame with vinyl siding…no less.
“I’ve certainly seen far worse as far as condo facades go”
Now THERE is a recommendation. If the bar is set low enough everything bad is good. Looks like one expensive door stop to me.
Developers need to make more 3 bedrooms in park slope, there is a huge demand for them, that is why the 3 bed on park place sold for 1.6. Not alot of 3 bedrooms around, developers are missing out. They are kinda of d-bags anyway, making a bunch of 1 bedrooms is idiotic considering the demographic change in NYC in the last 5 years. But then again the smaller the apartments the more my brownstone is worth, so thank you dbags.
And don’t they have two projects on 19th St and one on Jackson Ave that Mr. B reported quite a bit on?
EFF’in up the whole of the South Slope it seems.
I would say, an open-faced shit sandwich. The builder must have got a little over his head at the end because the main entrance way is chocked full of haphazardly placed mechanicals… sprinkler connections…plumbing vents…some kind of dryer vents…
They are still building one more building. Foundation installation “problems” with the DoB has held them up.
The 1br + rec room model seems to a norm in South Brooklyn with “row house” style condo buildings. Odd and I agree with the resale issues, even if you did an illegal conversion in the rec room for a second bedroom…
And yes, they attract musicians, and for some reason, really bad ones. The drummer on my friend’s block sounds worse than Peter Criss in the Bat Cave!!!
yes Rob but for a resale – it’s no good really as again that single person who may meet someone and have a kid now are looking to trade up and they can only sell to a very small niche market out there…
even a couple would like that extra bedroom, rather than weird configuration
agreed -they do need to make more afforable 3 BR’s and not price them at 900K – over a million esp in fringe parts of nabe…
uh everything can’t be a 3 bedroom or 2 catering to families. a one bedroom plus a rec room is nice for a single person who might be a musician. that would be much better for brooklyn anyway.
