Condo of the Day: One Hanson Place, #13F
We’ve devoted plenty of ink over the years to the condos at One Hanson Place but don’t think we’ve ever highlighted a one-bedroom unit in the former Savings Bank tower.

We’ve devoted plenty of ink over the years to the condos at One Hanson Place but don’t think we’ve ever highlighted a one-bedroom unit in the former Savings Bank tower. This 13th-floor apartment is 722 square feet and has the same high-end kitchen and bathroom finishes and high ceilings that you find throughout the building; based upon the listing photos, the views are pretty sweet from this apartment as well. Monthly common charges are $888 and the asking price is $515,000. Fair deal given the building, finishes and location?

Here’s the link to the Brownstoner article about non-union…but its from 2008 so maybe things changed.

I could be wrong on the union thing, but I looked over the offering docs a while back, and I though they were planning their staff budget on union salary and benefits.
I thought the building was non-union. I think I read that on a past Brownstoner post.
I noticed other units for resale in the building are listed at just barely above or even at or below what they originally sold for in 2008 so that 2 year theory of price increase – at least for now – seems off. Just to break even on a sale it seems you have to be thinking 4 to 5 years for a 10-15% increase over original purchase price. Just seems that way looking at recent numbers.
Scott is right, the fees aren’t out of line for a lux. doorman building in this area of Brooklyn.
The common fees do not seem high at all for a fully (union) staffed building of this height.
Compared to similar buildings in Manhattan, the fees seem super low.
lol get a life you loser.
itsthebigguy — You’re a fucking dumb shithead. How’s that for a tutorial?
I’ve seen several of these units and keep stalling at the awkward furniture arrangement in the living/dining room. The rooms are narrow and result in tight ungenerous furniture plans and crappy TV viewing. The bedrooms are also hamfisted and have nothing to recommend them. The cool thing about renovating an old building has traditionally been you get something special, higher ceilings, more open layout, interesting details, etc. here you get none of that, just get to live on top of a traffic island.
The common fees are insane! I can’t imagine what they would be for a two or three bedroom unit.
