Checking In On The Argyle
Things were going swimmingly at The Argyle in Park Slope when we checked in last April: At that point, 60 percent of the 59 units had gone into contract. Now, nine months later, about 70 percent are in contract (assuming the 16 available listings on the Corcoran website are the only ones available). Anyone know…

“It doesn’t make any less sense to me than than “luxury condo” and “Williamsburg”.”
Yeah….I don’t get that one, either.
I was going to say the EXACT same thing, Snark. But I feel like everyone already knows how I feel about Williamsburg, so I decided to leave it.
There are parts of Williamsburg where “luxury” condos are now going up that makes Beirut circa 1990 look like heaven.
It doesn’t make any less sense to me than than “luxury condo” and “Williamsburg”.
Somehow, “luxury condo” and “4th Avenue” just do not go together. Just my opinion.
This is my favorite of the new condo buildings going up on 4th Avenue. Hopefully they don’t cheap out when skinning this thing.
MM –
Well considering nothing around the block is more than 4 floors of course it will look disproportionate to other structures.
SS –
Although I am not a buyer here – a friend is – I did agree with him (my firned) that the location is good considering going in to prime PS is going to cost you – especially for established buildings. The price on this thing is is less than $800 psqft. Some are even less than $700. Nothing is over a million. I helped him look around in PS and at best he could find was $520k for an older condo that needed some fixing. Nothing major but would cost at least $15k. Other than not being in 5th Ave, Argyle is still a better buy.

I think it’s a good design, judging from the renderings. Definitely the nicest thing going up on 4th. I agree with Snark…the area has potential, and even now, I’d call it far from depressing. 5th Avenue 10 years ago…now THAT was depressing.
I think these developers have done a good job. I applaud their efforts in (still to this day) opening their sales office on a busy strip of 5th Avenue, which I’m sure has helped quite a bit.
Good for them for doing things on the up and up and selling some units.
I agree. Location is near all the amenities and transportation. But, what are all these 12-story buildings with hundreds of new residents on 4th Avenue doing to the existing – and crumbling – infrastructure? Both the “R” and “F” lines are packed during rush hour. And 4th Avenue floods quite often when there is heavy rain. When will we see any investment (public and/or private) towards improving our infrastructure?
