Checking in on 364 St. Mark's Avenue
Given the strange white smudging on the brick exterior and the fact that this place has been on the market since late 2006, we expected to find 364 St. Marks Avenue sitting in unsold purgatory when we went to look it up. On the contrary, 16 out of 20 units are spoken for. The remaining…
Given the strange white smudging on the brick exterior and the fact that this place has been on the market since late 2006, we expected to find 364 St. Marks Avenue sitting in unsold purgatory when we went to look it up. On the contrary, 16 out of 20 units are spoken for. The remaining four apartments are all in the 1,000 to 1,100-square-foot range and asking between $543,500 and $599,000. The building’s not going to end up on the cover of Architectural Digest anytime soon but the developer gets points for high ceilings and big windows.

I found an apt. in this bulding in Oct. 2006, gave a deposit the following month and waited like a moron for the building to “finish” for well over a year. My lawyer had to fight tooh and nail to get my 10% deposit back and finally did in December 2007. Shame on Corocoran for sponsoring such a shady project, not to mention their lack of communication with its buyers. I wonder if the building ever got their CO, last I heard, they did not. Plus, my condo is back out on Corcoran’s site so whoever posted this article is wrong that they are 16 out of 20 units full. Last time I looked there were at least 6 unsold units, including the one I walked out on. Best decision I ever made.
This buidling had a very strange marketing effort.
It is not listed as a new development on the brokers site. You really need to dig to find it.

All renters are bitter
then why call it equity bloom?
Renter? Yes.
Bitter? Hardly.
I looked at these in 2007, and gave them a pass. The layouts were classic new-development bad – designed to maximize the square footage the broker could claim, not for habilitability. The kitchen fixtures also felt cheap.

good one, 2:02!
