avalon-fort-greene-0809.jpgAvalon Fort Greene, the 650-unit rental building we’ve been tracking since it was a hole in the ground, must be getting close to launch because its listings just hit the web; you can check out the developer’s website for layouts and pricing or StreetEasy for some photos of the model apartment. Pricing starts at just under $2,000 for studios and goes up to over $5,000 a month for three-bedrooms.

  1. From the Avalon website:

    For those inspired by the excitement and opportunity of everyday life, welcome to youtopia. More than a lifestyle, Avalon Fort Greene offers the perfect backdrop for you to be you.

    Seriously, where do I vomit?

  2. i am not renting anything for $5,000 a month. i can easily own for that amount. and dont throw location or anything like that in the mix….i’ll get a 3 bdrm with finished basement and backyard for that price in queens, staten island, the bronx, or another part of brooklyn.

  3. I think the rents are too high as well, but keep in mind two things. 1) Search streeteasy for 3 bedrooms. There are very few priced much less than this in the area. For someone that “needs” 3 bedrooms, supply is limited. 2) This are the gross rents and probably don’t reflect that they are likely to offer 1 or 2 months free like almost every other rental building. If they do, the net effective rent for a $5,000 unit is under $4,200. Still not cheap, but much closer to “reality”.

    Check Avalon’s prices for Bowery – 2 bedrooms start at $5225.

    and that is equally as insane. but i guess there is a market for insane people out there. tho i guess if i was rich i wouldnt care how much my rent was.

    Just take your best shot and don’t blow it…”
