Changing of the Guard at The Vermeil
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.

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.

Update on the Vermeil [Brownstoner]
Oops, sorry for the double post.
Santa…please! You think it’s nicer than say 3rd Street between 6th Avenue and the PPW or any of the many other beautiful blocks south of there?
11217, maybe that post had nothing to do with the Vermeil, but it was a very interesting insight. And I think there is lots one can learn from South Americans about enjoying life.

When we walked past there about two months ago, several bricks had fallen out of the facade. The problem has been fixed, but that, to me, does not bode well for the overall quality of the construction.
Thanks Slopestoner. I thought so.
I think the area with the copper covering it on the Sterling side is where you enter the garage. I can kinda picture it now…
I’m also curious if anyone has any information on the former Brothel turning condo on Lincoln Place right behind the Brooklyn Conservatory…
I walked by and they look to be moving fast now and doing an incredible job on the renovation. Nice windows, new copper front entrance, they seemed to be already plastering and painting the interiors from what I can tell. Also looks like there might be a nice garden to the side where it separates from the Bk Conservatory.
Perhaps you can do a little investigating for us Brownstoner on when they might start selling those?
I’ve had my eye on that place…
@11217: There is a parking garage under the building.
It might be interesting to note that in Argentina…especially in Buenos Aires…that after the almost complete collapse of their economy in 2001 and the devaluation of their currency, retail has THRIVED ever since.
People there no longer have as much faith in the banking system keeping their money safe, and they seem to spend and live life as if every day is their last.
I am always amazed how one can walk down a beautiful boulevard in Buenos Aires, see 100 womens shoe stores in a mile, all packed with gorgeous ladies buying shoes like it’s their job.
The discos and bars are packed, the restaurants are filled and everyone seems to be having a great time, despite their financial situation there.
Perhaps a little of that might rub off on us during this rough time. I personally hope so…
Sorry, I know that had nothing to do with the Vermeil.
I think they were overpriced from the start. They started over 2 million. I’m sure that’s the primary reason why they didn’t/aren’t selling.
Santa – You’re kidding, right? The building across from here is known by many to be atrocious. Are you referring to the one with the faux cuppola on top (looks so bad!), the brick which has all that white stuff leaking out and the dead plants in the front??
I’ve never heard anyone say they like the look of that place. I think it’s one of the only eyesores in the North Slope, in fact.
the newer building across the street is much nicer looking. Also I would have to say the area of park slope along Flatbush ave is the best part.
