Avalon 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.

Over 2000 rental apts coming online in downtown Brooklyn in the next 6 months alone! They will be empty for a long long time priced like that. Maybe they will give 3 free months?

I truly do not understand why people get so hostile
it’s like if one day the entire donut business decided, hey, let’s all charge 15 dollars per donut thinking well they are crazy people out there who will still need to get their donut fix. it’s annoying!

“I truly do not understand why people get so hostile”
Because they can’t afford it.

Seriously, where do I vomit?
where all the other former frat boys who infest Avalon buildings vomit? the stairwell.

aj – for $5000 you can get a nice 3br in the bronx and have $3300 left over…..
that being said – why do you people get pissed where they price their listings if they are too steep they wont rent, and then they’ll lower the price, and if they get their asking – then I guess that is what it is worth (to the renters) – I truly do not understand why people get so hostile

$5,150.
Still think $5000 is going to fly in downwtown Brooklyn?
Also – prices are STARTING at 5060 for a three bedroom. Avalon uses a formula for every floor up from the ground floor your apt is. I think it’s an extra 20 bucks per month per floor.
This is what I encountered when looking at the Avalon building in LIC a while back. A one bedroom facing the water with a balcony on the 35th floor was 3,200 a month.
Well – 5k for a 3 bedroom doesn’t seem like they are marketing to families, more likely as shares to young professionals on wall street.
Avalon does have a good track record, so I have no doubt they will fill this up.
Are some of you starting to understand the cost of market rate housing in the city yet?
Yes, Bowery Avalon does charge almost 5K for a 2 bedroom. And they get it. And most people who live there are under 40.
Makes a little more sense why someone might want to buy what many of you considered an obscenely overpriced studio in Ft. Greene a couple weeks ago to pay 1800 a month to live alone, no?
