Condo of the Day: 10 Percent Off at One Hanson
We’ve been a big believer in One Hanson since the beginning, so we’re a little surprised that they’re having to do 10 percent price cuts, but perhaps it’s a sign of the increasing pipeline of condos that will be hitting the market over the next 12 to 18 months.

We’ve been a big believer in One Hanson since the beginning, so we’re a little surprised that they’re having to do 10 percent price cuts, but perhaps it’s a sign of the increasing pipeline of condos that will be hitting the market over the next 12 to 18 months. After seven months, Apartment 12D, for example, has just beenreduced from $708,692 to $628,456. Given the ceiling height, high floor and size (934 square feet), we’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t move at this price. Does anyone know how many units in the building have sold up to now? The One Hanson website shows that there are 14 units available between the 9th and 16th floors. Have the rest sold? When are lower floors going to be released?

Forget about AY, that area is a nightmare pre-AY. I am supposed to be an intreped New Yorker but Atlantic and Flatbush puts the fear of God in me – just crossing the street, never mind the existing construction. There is scaffolding and constructions all over that area. Crossing the street is nightmarish.
It is interesting to note that the pro AY posters have to resort to agressive threats (similar tactics to those used by Ratner to create this deal)
I don’t agree, this is for many of us the most important thing that will happen in our neighborhoods in the time we will live in them. – I understand for those of you living in PLG or BedStuy it may not be as pressing, but for those of us whose lives will be impacted this is one of the most important forums we have to discuss it. This is something we really care about.
Don’t like traffic or tall buildings? Move to Kansas!!!!
To all you anti-AY flamers, please take your stupid/baseless assertions to http://www.atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com and jerk each other off all you want there. I’m so sick and tired of having every decent thread on this site destroyed by your nonsensical arguments! Give it a break already – no one cares!
4:40 is right, the planned neon signage on AY is the worst. So cheesy. Frank Gehry needs his architecture license revoked for that aspect of the design. It’s just plain silly.
Hi Brownstoner-
I’d like to suggest that we create a seperate area on this site to discuss ongoing AY issues (like the tab you have on the top for the broken angel reno, etc.). Every time something comes up that hints of the AY project, there is a surge of almost overwhelming discussion/reaction. It would be nice if it had its own place on this site so that that people didn’t always rehash the same arguments. Thank you for your consideration. BTW – I very much enjoy your site and it has contributed greatly to my appreciation of Brownstone Brooklyn.
I am a salesperson in Brooklyn. I have definitely heard from a lot of buyers that they have no interest in this building because of all the construction and chaos and increased noise during construction and then forever more from traffic because of Atlantic Yards. And of course those with views facing south don’t want to see it all being built and wait and wonder how ruined their views will be either. Plus now there has been a lot written about the neon monstrosity that Ratner has planned for this area in terms of signage and that is of concern to the buyers I am working with. So it’s not as simple as people saying yes or no to the Atlantic Yards on this site all the time. This is about people making real life decisions about 1 Hanson Place now because of Ratner’s plans for the area. Not just idle chatter
I don’t think you can compare Hanson Place with the East or West village. People who live in the East/West village want a certain type of lifestyle, don’t mind busy streets — in fact find it stimulating — and may not be interested in brownstone, leafy living. Even if they were, for most, brownstone living in Manhattan is out of the question. But it’s not out of reach in Brooklyn — yet.
I moved to the Fort Greene-area from the West Village in 2001 b/c I couldn’t afford to live their anymore. I found Fort Greene a nice trade off b/c while I didn’t have a lot of the same restaruants and stores (then), I loved the vibe. But even that energy has changed significantly over the past 5+ years, and I am concerned that it will become more busy, less neighborhoody, and less desirable to those who want a breath of fresh air after working all day.
The only reason I would be in favor of AY’s is if I planned on moving further out into Brooklyn and anticipated that the peace and quiet of some of those neighborhoods would become an attractive alternative to the hustle and bustle of the AY-area, and that as a result, I might be able to get better paying tennants along with quickly increasing property values.
Brownstones around AY will be just fine, but I’m not crazy about the idea of saying excuse me, pardon me, oh sorry about that, everytime I go out at 7AM/PM to walk my dog.
Personal choice.
