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 haven’t seen anything advertised as such. There is a 6,500 sq ft private roof deck and then there is the Metrotech park (which is definitely not private). I’d be suprised if there was any advertising that said BellTel had private access to this
The Belltel Lofts advertise a “2.5 acre private garden.” Is this Metrotech? How can they call that a private garden? Is there a part that is only for the Belltel residents? It just seems so misleading, it must be illegal?
For the most part, the problems with the developer involved them continuously cancelling and pushing back closing dates. They’d schedule you for a date and then cancel the day before, which made things very difficult vis a vis scheduling existing lease terminations, furniture deliveries, scheduling painters/contractors etc. A big part of the problem had to do with assigning and splitting the existing mortgage on the building which enabled us to not have to pay mortgage recording tax (which I will say was some nice savings). The other issues, for the most part, I think are just usual glitches that go along with moving into new construction and they are all being worked out. We love our apartment and are of course anxious for the rest of the building to be complete. Also, despite some people giving Metrotech a bad rap, I have to say; I really enjoy it. On the weekends its nice and quiet and you have the park to sit and relax in. No, its not the center of night life, but I find it quite enjoyable.
With all the great new buildings that just opened or are scheduled to shortly (110 Livingston, Oro, One Hanson, etc.) Downtown Brooklyn is on its way to being a great neighborhood.
congrats rubyrose. It looks like a beautiful building and the size of your apartment is enviable. Enjoy!
11:55pm, what was the listed price for your 2bd/2th 1,500 sf space?
It’s an amazing building with amazing potential! Great price for the sq. footage, easy access to Manh. I saw 29 condos in B’klyn before choosing. I bought into Belltel, I might not have a view but I have good light, 1,550 sq ft 2 bathrooms, 2bdrms, 1 home office, oh an amenitities and a beautiful lobby. Haven’t moved in yet, probably within the next 10 days, yes there’s problems but ALL new condos have them! and through the building blog we do complain about walk thrus, finishings etc. but things get resolved but we also help each through our blog, how many people get to know their neighbors? well I haven’t even moved in and I feel that Belltel is a community. I know of approx. 16 apartments that are lived in! like I said there are problems and with time everything will almost work perfectly and no I do not work for the building!

From the Belltel Lofts blog website, there is a link on the top left page to the “Owners Forum”.
http://www.belltellofts.blogspot.com
A centralized location for dissemination of information concerning everything and all things about the building has been a tremendous help.
7:05, how did the person who set up the forum get your information or how did you find out about the private forum?
