The other night at the launch for 58 Met, which Curbed also attended, we checked out one of townhouses within the 80 Met development. The four-story, 3-bedroom townhouses are listed as 59 North 1st Street, but they share amenity space with the entire development. They were listed at $1,635,000 when they first launched, and are now going for $1,400,000, according to the listing. As for 58 Met, the new studios start at $359,000, one-bedrooms at $445,000 and two-bedrooms at $669,000.

  1. from outside – clean, nicely done, and looks well made.

    ljubitca- i don’t know how much nicer townhouses could be actually. the usual block in a brownstone neighborhood features some bad landscaping, some A/C units hanging out of windows, some buildings that need work, etc…. if they are old brick townhouses, then a block can look ghetto/tenement like and quick. point being is that it’s not like they are all good by any stretch. have you really seen these buildings? or r u just commenting on this picture? perhaps just looks great in person and isn’t translating in a small pic.

    a friend is close to buying in the main bldg – 80 met after a year search. his feeling is that it has great construction and best perks. location is very good.

  2. I saw these townhouses at the opening. They actually look quite nice and the finishes appear to be of good quality. If you don’t mind vertical living over 4 floors, the space was good too.

  3. i quite like the design, construction, price, etc.
    location i could live with.

    the common charge for t/h living is exorbitant, even if you include 300/mo for parking, and 150/mo for pool/fitness.

    also, taxes will start to increase after year 10 and this t/h will ultimately suffer from condo-like (think nosebleed) prop taxes.

    that’s a deal breaker for me.

    i am wondering why they wouldn’t’ve developed the t/h outside the condo. i guess they are selling today and buyers will not be focused on distant future taxes, but rather zero current?

  5. I hate these townhouses. They must be on the ugly side of town becuase these are GAAArowse! If I see one more over priced box with that crappy bathroom sink I will have eternal IBS. Who ever is telling these builders that people want tiny common rooms and tiresome design – you win. And institutional exteriors bore me…
