The Absolute launched way back in August of 2008, but it looks like it’s still slow-going in the sales department. On StreetEasy there are 28 active sales listings (with one in contract) and this is only a 35-unit building. The most recent price cut was one month ago, with a 2-bedroom at $599,000 dropping down to $499,000. Six units listed have seen price increases, with a one-bedroom originally at $355,000 upped to $375,000 a few weeks ago. Hard to see the logic in raising prices at this point, isn’t it?

  1. We saw it during the winter. Horrible! What a location.

    Probably the worst aspect is looking out the window onto the glaring neon of a White Castle. My wife’s been a vegetarian most of her life, and I get nauseous just thinking about belly bombers.

  2. We considered going to look at some of these–they sound quite lovely, and we liked the photos–but it was too much of a pain to even get up there for an open house, let alone trying to commute every day.

  3. Absolute disaster. They obviously paid too much for the land/construction and too late in the RE Ponzi scheme given the launch date. The bank/investors aren’t budging on the loan. The longer they wait, the more they’ll hurt. Look for rental listings soon. Can you say “Forte”?
