“BHO – actually you would need to make 72K for a 2k/mo studio at 33%”

Agree. These are Manhattan prices. Why live at this location for these prices. That particular area isn’r even a “neighborhood” which is the “feel” that people come to Brooklyn for anyway.

fsrq, I think you’re really giving the benefit of the doubt to people making $72k with that assessment. I suspect that the vast majority of them have credit card debt up the whazoo as well.
This building is geared to the young higly paid professional who needs a full service building with a gym where everything is taken care of and life can work even though you don’t have a spouse who stays at home and sometimes you work until 3 am. People pay for buildings that make that all work. I lived for a year at The Ocean on Battery Park, so I know the drill. The big question mark is whether there are still enough of those people to fill up a building like this. I doubt it. This development made sense at pre-crash NYC yuppie employment levels. I know a lot of people who live in buildings like this in Manhattan and vacancy is WAY up as all of the laid off single 20 something bankers pack up and go home to live with mom and dad.
