Checking In With 515 5th Avenue

When we last paid our respects to the 5 One 5 Condos in October, all but two of the 15 units had sold. What’s the status five months later? All but one of the 15 units are sold. That leaves just Apartment 6D, a 1,110-square-foot three-bedroom with a price tag of $785,000 (originally listed a year ago at $924,000). Don’t get your hopes up, though: We hear that there’s an accepted offer on this last unit. This may have to be considered one of the last success stories of the great boom.

not a great building by any stretch, but it could be much much much much worse. tall narrow windows? I’d bet they’re of a similar proportion as most brownstones. the massing is broken up and respectful of the scale of the street, they spent a little extra on the zinc siding, etc. If you complain about everything that isn’t an historic brownstone with such BILE, what do you have to say about all those knucklehead FEDDERS buildings? Disappointing retail space, cracking stucco, true. But I’ve seen a lot of recently built horrors in brooklyn, and this isn’t one of them.
Sold to who?
The retail space has been sold. Just not rented.
LOL!
InsertSnappyName — I like this comment: “parents might like a place where it’s ok to take a screaming hellion.”
Unfortunately, the owners of aforementioned hellions tend to not give a crap and bring them to the various pubs and bars around the Slope, both inappropriate and the cause of discomfort for the non-hellion owners.
Hey don’t forget that little pink brick building on the right… That’s new construction as well.
“This may have to be considered one of the last success stories of the great boom.”
I’d say.

i walk by this building about once a week, and it f*ckin ugly.
My earlier post failed so I will try again. I think the reason the storefront never rented is that the space is filled with huge, ugly concrete columns that make it hard to plan and adapt the space. Many businesses have opened nearby on 5th — restaurants, bars, a jazz club, a 7-11, etc. — so it is not for lack of interst in the area.
