324 St. Marks Launches
After what seems like an eternity in development, 324 St. Marks Avenue (aka Mark 324) has finally hit the market. As Set Speed said last week, “You’ll get radiant heating in the bathrooms and a gas fireplace in every unit, but it sure won’t come cheap.” The eight units range in price from $631,000 for…
After what seems like an eternity in development, 324 St. Marks Avenue (aka Mark 324) has finally hit the market. As Set Speed said last week, “You’ll get radiant heating in the bathrooms and a gas fireplace in every unit, but it sure won’t come cheap.” The eight units range in price from $631,000 for a 852-square-foot two-bedroom to $932,400 for a 1,228-square-foot three-bedroom. We’ll see whether the nabe can support the prices!
Development Watch: 324 St. Mark’s Avenue [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
Parts of the south slope looked exactly like this particular block of St. Marks just a decade ago. I’m thinking of 15th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues which was made up of single story garages, light manufacturing, auto repair shops, a few 5 story walk ups. Not very pretty. There are now numerous condo/rental buildings standing in their place.
I don’t doubt that if this new development is successful, the rest of the block’s nonresidential buildings will fall like dominoes.
The big question mark for St. Marks between Washington and Underwood is the HUGE open parking lot. When the owners of that land decide to cash out everything will change.
5 minute walk to Tom’s Diner, if that makes a difference.
Big Jugs, you’ve never had in informed opinion in your life, so I wouldn’t talk.
You also have never encountered sarcasm either. I live blocks from here, I think I know what is and isn’t there. It’s not the worst place on earth, but the prices don’t reflect that, these units are priced for a much, much better block.
321 looks is as bad and quick on the inside as it looks on the outside.
But the block is nice. The parking lot is great actually–better views, they are nice people and there are always people in and out.
It’s a good area to buy.

Thanks for the info IMBY and grand army. I used not far from there, and my strolls down that particular block never gave me any indication that any place would fetch that kind of cash.
You are right about MM, i disagree. Typically ill-informed comment…
303 and 305 St Marks are both very unusual properties and really not typical of the rest of the block. 303 is a new-build townhouse from about 2004, previously owned by the architect who built it. 305 is a very cool conversion of a former small warehouse-cum-carriage house. Both were featured in Fine Homebuilding magazine. The rest of the block is a mishmash and includes a parking lot, an auto repair place (NOK — actually a brilliant place to get your car fixed), a building lot, some shabby little frame houses and a couple of large, stable coop buildings at the corner of Underhill. It’s actually quite a convenient location, if a bit of a hike from the subway.
Use google link at top of post and turn it around to see the two buildings side by side.
303 is a two family= Triplex with studio apartment and one car garage.
305 is/was a three family with courtyard facing back building duplex. (Being used today as one family?) Both very high end buildings.
um, yeah, there are no private homes across the street from this place, and they’re clearly starting off way too high psf. that said, i watched the building go up and it looks a lot more solid, with a lot better workmanship, than much of what i’ve seen being done elsewhere in brooklyn. and i’m not sure what MM means by “the edge of the wilderness.” these condos are right off vanderbilt, in central PH, 3.5 blocks from the B/Q, right near a decent public school, a terrific playground, plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars, and a ~10 minute walk to the park, the museum, the botanic gardens and the library. if that’s the wilderness, then i’m shudder to think what the rest of brooklyn is.
