Everything about the verbiage in a new listing for the 13,500-square-foot space at 133 Imlay is spectacular: “Now there is Red Hook, an industrial neighborhood that is right now becoming home to artists and will become home to wealthy investors. The signs are all there — the parking lot at Fairway is already over-jammed; the local eateries on the strip in Red Hook serve grass-fed beef. Usually the pioneers buy in low, wait a few years, and then sell for windfalls. Rarely does a pioneer buy in, renovate, and sell quickly. We are able and happy to offer you a renovated artist’s dream in Red Hook — an amazing area to create art today and a promising long-term investment.” Non-wealthy investors can purchase the three-warehouse property, which is home to the Kidd Yellin gallery and has an apartment (“an amenity almost unheard of in formerly industrial buildings in Red Hook”!), for a mere $4.6 million. To be fair, the space is pretty cool…click through for a photo.

gowanus does not have a subway. not even a G train! how would all the supposed future wealthy bankers and lawyers get to work in manhattan? at least gowanus has subway and is a stones throw from actual other rich people who take said subways to work. Red Hook is still much too much of an island (for now). cut off by the BQE, the massive density of the projects is a bit overwhelming if you’re planning to go east, and crossing fort hamilton is not pleasant. It is, and always will be cut off from NYC civilization for living purposes.
