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.

Hmm – so much for the theory that people wont buy buildings with ugly exteriors
I think a lower priced kid friendly restaurant could do well there. There seems to be a lot of youngsters around here and parents might like a place where it’s ok to take a screaming hellion.
I liked the green idea but it apears this building is no better than any other the other new construction going up locally in terms of quality. Good effort to get this lot sold in the current environment but agree with ISNH above, shame the retail space is empty. Seems to me that any half decent place in this area above 9th st would do well with a bar or resturant.
These guys should write a book: how to sell an unattractive building in an unattractive real-estate market. I hope that all the buyers are deliriously happy with their purchases.
Those tall narrow windows are not attractive. I walk by this building on my lunchtime stroll a lot; it gives me the creeps.
I watched crews a several weeks ago doing repairs on upper level exterior units on the 15th street side. Wasn’t sure what they were doing, but the result was the appearance of those ugly light gray “patched cracks.” Is it falling into the sh*tter already?
Ugly sells in Park Slope!
A friend of mine lives in this neighborhood and told me that this building is known for having had a lot of problems since it was built. Siding falling off, heating and cooling systems not working properly, plumbing issues, etc. Since it’s supposed to be a green building I was disappointed to hear it.
My question is, what’s with all the badly patched cracks running up and down the exterior of the building?
I’m referring to the top concrete-like floors, not the lower ones that look like shipping containers.
