After almost a year and a half of sales mode, the developers of the Elan at 255 1st Street in Park Slope are getting a broker make-over and instituting one of the more sweeping and aggressive batch of price cuts that we’ve seen to date. On the broker front, A.D. Shaye is out, Apartments & Lofts is in. The new website is here. As for pricing, all remaining 17 units got whacked an average of 26 percent. Apartment 12B, which has 1,169 square feet of interior space and 167 square feet of outdoor space, was reduced from $1,025,000 to $725,000. Holy cow! This is obviously what most developers need to be doing now. This’ll be interesting to watch.

gemini10 — do you have one of those units with the giant soaking tubs? Those looked pretty cool.
This place had the best bathrooms by far of any I saw out of ~20 apartments in park slope the last couple of months.
DH – there was 1 1 BR for rent at $2400 when we were looking in August – not sure if it ever rented
at the time rentals were being handled by Warren Lewis/Corcoran and Ideal properties
I will say my commute is now awesome to the city and I like being super close to 5th avenue – I just wish the layouts were better spaced if one was going to buy the apartment
it’s a good rental
This place also has storage in the basment in the forms of actual locked and numbered rooms – so that’s pretty cool
G10 – are you aware if there are any 1 bedrooms for rent in this building – and is there a specific broker or is the mgmt company handling the leasing?
M4L – gotcha – and ur still looking in Clinton Hill/Bed Sty area – not interested in any South Slope houses?
g10, been making offers but been beat by deep pockets with 50% down or all-cash offers so still looking
antidope, I didn’t withhold what what my friend said. I believe my friend. when you imply I was bs’ing, I put my $$$ behind my trust on my friend. Nothing under handed at all. Can’t blame me when you didn’t believe it and I put you to the test. BTW, just looked up the contract and that’s not my friend’s friends. curious if they got similar offer but didn’t bite or if offer wasn’t as juicy
M4l – hahaha
remember, we are just renting for a bit and not planning to buy that apartment -they are pretty inside, but odd layouts
did you ever buy your house? I forget?
thx. pretty unusual setup.
