Catching Up With The Terraces on Court
The building’s not much to look at in our opinion and the interiors look like many other developments to hit the market in the last couple of years, but that hasn’t stopped about half the units at 529 Court Street from selling, though we can’t recall how long they’ve been on the market. It looks…
The building’s not much to look at in our opinion and the interiors look like many other developments to hit the market in the last couple of years, but that hasn’t stopped about half the units at 529 Court Street from selling, though we can’t recall how long they’ve been on the market. It looks like the remaining units are priced at around $600 a foot which doesn’t seem outrageous. It just makes us wonder again about how all the new condos are going to be absorbed in the weakening market. There’s a finite supply of nice prewar apartments, so we’d expect those to hold up much better as things cool off.

“…the gritty steel and concrete superstructure aesthetic” !!! ???
You mean the devloper and architect of this monstrosity has an “aesthetic?” You must be f**king joking.
How about a “gritty steel and concrete” superstructure (whatever the hell that is) because it’s CHEAP to build — and, together with non-unionized, immigrant labor, maximized profit for everyone involved, except, of course, the buyer?
You buy this piece of dreck and you deserve to be under water for 10 years.
the units in the back are very bright and quiet with good-sized balconies and some very large terraces and the penthouses have great space on the roof. the cement ceilings make more sense within the overall design of the building (with exposed steel etc. loft-like). although the exterior is a bit of a bland disappointment. but a lot of the area requires you are hip to the gritty steel and concrete superstructure aesthetic. some people find that, if not cool, then at least acceptable.
It just seems like a strange place to want to live. I’m wondering if this is investors who are piling in?
Apts look nice enough, but it’s an ugly building, ugly block, dirty surroundings…expressway practically overhead; oil depot down the block on Smith & 9th; 6-8 lane Hamilton Ave traffic half a block away; no significant amenities down there; forbidding after dark. Too much money to ask for such environs.
It’s what we refer to in our office as “the asshole of Carroll Gardens.”
Does anyone know the makeup of people taking these apartments? Are these investors? Primary residences? Second residences?
?
Prices are relatively okay. Not sure about the rats but I’m sure the noise from the highway isn’t too bad. I live on Tiffany Place and we don’t get the noise if the windows are closed. If you’re looking for condos, there is 20 Tiffany, right next door to me. That’s slated to open this fall I think but the building looks really nice. The owners are my landlords and they’re pretty good as far as landlords go. http://www.20tiffany.com
Who CARES about a little Juliet terrace? When was the last time you ever saw anyone standing on one, much less one block from the Gowanus Expressway and the Smith and 9th Street subway?
In other words, when did you last see a resident using it for anything other than storage of a bicycle or one or two potted plants?
And yet again, another Fedders building. From the street, this cinder block construction is ugly my wife says it makes her eyes hurt.
Anyone know how the Court St. Lofts (505 Court) did with their conversion/sales? Don’t know how they compare to these Terraces, other than similar neighborhood.
