14 Hope Street Takes a Mulligan
Presumably Tom Le won’t be one of the roadkill referenced by Corco chief Pam Liebman earlier this week. Le was named the 2008 Williamsburg Salesperson of the year, and now he’s gone and snagged all the listings for 14 Hope Street from the clutches of Douglas Elliman.

Presumably Tom Le won’t be one of the roadkill referenced by Corco chief Pam Liebman earlier this week. Le was named the 2008 Williamsburg Salesperson of the year, and now he’s gone and snagged all the listings for 14 Hope Street from the clutches of Douglas Elliman. In a stroke of bad timing, the 23-unit building hit the market with Elliman last November was pulled at the end of March. Corcoran just re-launched the property this week new prices that, according to a discussion on StreetEasy, are 10 to 15 percent lower than they were last go-round. According to Le’s listings, only seven units have been released yet. You can get an early look at the open house on Saturday. Anyone check these out when they were listed with Elliman? GMAP
Took a look inside, not impressed at all. While they are using name brand appliances, they seem to be entry level models from several years ago and lack any taste or style compared to similar listings. *cough*rentals…
i have lived on this block of hope street for 12 years
its a great block
still has the industrial vibe of old williamsburg
its close to all
you can walk 5 blocks and get on the Bedford L
from the driggs entrance
the c-town is great
and there are so many great restaurants around the corner
flying cow on hope/roebling has great steak
within a block is malta, caracas, bozu, walter foods, fiore, lodge, general store, m shanghai, rose, atlas cafe, fete sau, roebling tea room …
so many great places
the knitting factory is opening a block away as well
whats more this area is a microcommunity in williamsburg
there is an independant vibe from the chaotic bedford scene
and people tend to be very neighborly
i have toured the units of 14 hope
and have to say the building is very well put together
everything looks solid and long lasting
unlike most developments these days
the layouts are really spacious with lots of closets
definitely a great building
in what i think is a great location
Mopar, you can pay a lot less. It all depends on what you mean by “real” and “Park Slope.”
Hey King — do you really think prices will be going up in a year? Even if the economy recovers in the next year, the massively inflated real estate prices won’t be rising anytime soon. Prices are still going down with one of the lowest mortgage rates in decades. All that ‘made up’ money that increased the prices since 2000 doesn’t exist anymore. Until prices get in line with incomes – little Condos wont be appreciating – unless there is massive inflation. The rest of the country has contracted massively, NYC just barely.
Pretty decent looking inside and out, and they have a two bedroom with 970 sf for $705,000. Isn’t it impossible to find a real two bedroom in Park Slope for less than $750,000? Or you can avoid the Sex and the City girls and get a huge prewar three bedroom walkup in Jackson Heights for $350,000. And you’ll spend less on food — though maybe you will wish you didn’t.
i actually really like this location a lot. it’s very charming a pretty. Havemeyer is full of trees right there, and there is so much do within a couple of blocks plus the newish C Town down the block. you’ve got all the bars restaurants and shops of both metropolitan and grand right there!
Good one.
Don’t see that happening. Probably go rental first, wait for market conditions to improve, and sell out the condos in a year or so.
So, how long before these are down to $500/sf?
Six months? A year?
