Baltic Street Tower Comes to Market
Remember that proposed 11-story building on Baltic Street in Boerum Hill that caused all manner of hoo-ha over concerns about its scale? Well, it went up anyway, and now has a website. Baltic Tower has 36 units total, according to the site, with one- and two-bedrooms ranging from 609 to 831 square feet. There aren’t…
Remember that proposed 11-story building on Baltic Street in Boerum Hill that caused all manner of hoo-ha over concerns about its scale? Well, it went up anyway, and now has a website. Baltic Tower has 36 units total, according to the site, with one- and two-bedrooms ranging from 609 to 831 square feet. There aren’t any listings on the site itself, however, and it’s unclear which brokerage is representing the development. A reader attended the first open house at the development last weekend, however, and had this to report: “List they gave me shows cheapest 609sqft apt for $468,580 (1bd/1bth) and most expensive a 2bd/2bath for $662,280. 831 sq ft. (ccs range fron 420 to 573 + taxes)…First couple floors are commercial and ‘community space’ – which now is just this open cavernous space.”

What has to be done to get rid of the projects on Hoyt? Come on people, this area has been gentrofied, the only thing stopping Boerum Hill and Park Slope from merging into a super hub of young, urban, safe, fun, vibrant and rich neighborhoods is those projects. They have to go!
The real question is: are they having open houses this weekend?
For something that tall, 831 sq ft. is miniscule. They’re definitely maximizing number of units per floor.
Then you (2:400 would have loved the vacant lot here before the new building went up. Maybe I can find some old pictures. 🙂
I’m the one who saw the apts… (they had 2 ready to show)…very small and 1 layout has NO closets at all.
Price per sq ft is in low to mid $700 range. So the question is – is their offering price competive enough to balance the minuses (smallness, closeness to dreary Hoyt, not the prettiest block and pluses – great views from most floors, new, pretty decent looking baths, elevator, balcony, neighborhood).
For those who find the building so ugly: you don’t even see the tower part walking down the street – and I thought the commercial/comunity facility floors that extend to street don’t look half bad.
I wonder most who is going to rent the commercial space… and my opinion is would make a good rental building. I forgot to ask if there was to be a doorman.
it looks like a holiday inn.
All new buildings are good, regardless of how awful. All old buildings are bad. I’d rather put up a P.O.C. then leave the lot vacant until something worthwhile is proposed.
Why did they bother with the windows at all?
All new buildings suck. Landmark everything. I love vacant lots. Buck Fush. Free Mumia.
This is hideous. And all the other “new construction” on that block is just as hideous or worse ecspet for Baltic House. The old building are like tenements. Not a good block and never will be. The Gowanus Houses ARE much nicer.
I’d rather rent in South Dakota than live in a depressing people-storage warehouse like that. What a blight.
