Closing Bell: First Move-Ins at Belltel?
We got a tip that people started moving into the Belltel at 365 Bridge Street last weekend. Can anyone confirm? The Belltel Lofts: 40 Percent Sold [Brownstoner] GMAP The Floodgates Open at 365 Bridge Street [Brownstoner] Downtown Art Deco Icon Going Condo [Brownstoner]

I love how it’s so close to Toys R Us.
We’re renting (posted previously at 10:58a), it’s our first home purchase
Out of curiosity… Are most of you who are moving ito BellTel selling your current apartments (not renting)? It seems that most of the people who have bought at the new buildings already owned a coop or condo. For the past year, no problem. Now that we are seeing more units sitting on the market… it’s a concern.
Yes it would. Private as in it doesn’t belong to the city.
But then, it wouldn’t be private, would it?

Perhaps they meant BellTel residents have “access TO a private park”. As in, it’s not ours but we get to use it.
I saw “2.5 acre private park” (that was the wording) on the website (belltellofts.com) but it must have been in the animated movie, I can’t find it now. I first saw it on a subway ad.
We’re in contract at Belltel and waiting to close and move in, in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
The forums are for current owners and buyers in contract, it’s been a great resource. From what we can tell there’s at least 20 or more move-ins already, and most people seem quite happy. There are what seems common new construction problems like finishes, or problems arising from the fact that the building is still under construction and as someone mentioned above with postponed closings (crossing fingers for ours), but no deal breakers. And as far as we’re concerned the developers have been good at addressing problems that came up in our walkthrough.
I think it’s a great building, we looked at a lot of other condos in the area (and we’re moving from the heights so we’re pretty familiar with the area). Beautiful building, low per sqft cost, so we were able to get a larger apartment than we would have somewhere else, and a great location (pretty much all trains, and right between the heights and fort green).
I’m a BellTel owner and I moved in at the end of September. I understand we now have over 30 units moved in now, and it is nice meeting new people in the building.
The message board/blog is great. It was started by one of the owners and I found it via Google. It’s been a great place to connect and discuss issues with other owners. Most of the issues have been quite small (discussion about construction waivers, who to contact for x, which closet company to go with, etc. etc.).
I’m exicted to be in the area and I can’t wait for all of the planned changes to be completed.
