After months of poor sales, the developer of the Vermeil and his in-house brokers (who had originally jumped ship from Brown Harris Stevens to take on this gig) have parted ways. Stepping into the breach: Corcoran. The listing hasn’t hit the Corco website yet, but the development’s home page shows that seven of the 22 units listed as sold. The priciest apartment still available is a 1,758-square-foot penthouse for $1,850,000. We’ll see if the House That Babs Built can do the trick.

  1. I didn’t say that a luxury apartment was the BEST way to memorialize anything, Wonton. But seeing that you didn’t buy the property and erect your own multi-million dollar tree and waterfall studded memorial to the deceased, how about we try to live with it and make the most of it, eh?

    I don’t plan to be criticized for being a glass half full person, when it seems many people on this blog actually ENJOY finding things to complain about.

    “This also is the site of the horrible 1960 plane crash, so I like to respect this corner for the history it provides.”

    Oh, I see. Yes, a luxury condo development is EXACTLY THE THING to memorialize one of the worst air disasters in U.S. history…and the deaths of hundreds of people.

    Damn, wish I’d thought of that.

  3. “The buzz is that he wants to tear down those buildings and put in a big-box.”

    This might be true, and while a big box, the son told me he wants a Restoration Hardware or something of that sort where the Blockbuster is. I don’t think too many in this area would complain about THAT big box.

    Yes, Florence…I do know a lot about the building I suppose. I’m observant, I walk by it a couple times a day and I sometimes talk to construction workers when new buildings/stores are opening up.

    If you’re trying to link me with this property in any fashion other than an interested neighborhood resident, you are barking up the wrong tree.

  4. I liked the Vermeil when I looked at it. They are selling real aparments that I could live in with my family, not crappy little 2-beds that are being sold as 3-beds. They are definitely overpriced. Also, the history of the location kind of creeps me out. I could actually imagine myself picking up one of those apartments if prices come down 20% or so.
