As Curbed reported yesterday, the eight-unit condo development at 868 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg sold out in just seven weeks. (This news came via an email announcement from the team at Douglas Elliman responsible for marketing the project.) So the question now is, Was it the free Vespas they were giving away (well, throwing into the deal might be a better way of putting it) or the $400-a-foot prices? GMAP
dittoburg, no i didnt get her number, but it was interesting to find out that she had a daughter my age – i was 21 when i went to that place, almost 8 years ago.
rob – no go on the party….i think the place only holds like 10 people, seriously. its the smallest bar i’ve been to in my life, strippers or no.
ive never heard of this pumps place… but i think i now know where im having my 33rd birthday this february 🙂
and ugh… free vespas. barf! has anyone ever known or seen smoeone who drives a vespa who wasnt a complete douchbag?
*rob*
aj – did you get her number?!
Per streeteasy,
1 recorded, 6 in contract, 1 active. Wake me when all are recorded.
***Bid half off peak comps***
i went to pumps once….very small club….there was a spanish stripper and she was 41, but her body was better than most 20 years out there.
DIBS – they could use real bricks and some other nice bits, then charge $800 sq ft — and then not sell BECAUSE IT’s EAST WILLIAMSBURG! Compare this to the Veridian in ‘effing Greenpoint. This developer actually seemed to know how to make a profit AND sell at normal/reasonable prices (relatively speaking). If you didn’t figure it out, I was being facetious above about “How did the developer make any money?!” They made money by being smart and not living in la la land like all of the “luxury” high-rises and such.
In other words, I like the “fake brick curtain”
Sorry about that ditto, I didn’t know! Yeah, maybe it’s better you don’t suggest that to Mrs. Ditto. Just a hunch.
That fake brick curtain wall facade is really looking nice.
I like the look of this building… too bad it’s in (east) Williamsburg. 🙂
