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?

AYE = Rising housing prices = Happiness for me
my friend lives right on 34th and 8th in a highrise luxury building.
i don’t know who said that there is no such thing near msg, but they are wrong. and they are tearing down that seedy hotel and putting up high rent office towers. the area around msg is just one of the last parts of manhattan to be totally turned over to luxury. it is currently happening although, just like what will happen and what is happening in downtown brooklyn.
“but if someone’s going to spend seven figures on a home, do you want to walk out into a bunch of homeless, along with tons of commuters, hormone-charged teenagers, construction workers, and traffic noise on Flatbush? (And, soon, sports fans?) Or would you rather walk out on a quiet, leafy residential street?”
i don’t know. people seem to want to live in the east and west villages as well as lower east side, so what do you think….????
3:47, OHP is closer to the “BAM Cultural District” than it is to Atlantic Yards. Yeah, the streets are busy but that is apparently not a deal-buster for any number of Manhattan residents.
A friend just looked at OHP… the main turn-off was in fact the location. The “bad crowd” is basically the homeless people camping out at the entrance to the subway. There are plenty of homeless around, and I think it’s good to help them out; but if someone’s going to spend seven figures on a home, do you want to walk out into a bunch of homeless, along with tons of commuters, hormone-charged teenagers, construction workers, and traffic noise on Flatbush? (And, soon, sports fans?) Or would you rather walk out on a quiet, leafy residential street?
OHP is only about 3 blocks from Fort Greene Park, right near great restaurants and shopping etc; but I think it’s just a bad proposition when every time you leave your home you’re confronted with the sounds, smells, and crowds of that corner.
Just the 2 cents of one potential buyer.
If I were buying an expessive coop I would not chose a high traffic, busy area with something like Atlantic Yards being built across the street. Go look at Madison Square Garden on a game night. There is nothing wrong with those people, but it doesn’t go with luxury housing or a luxury lifestyle. Look where expensive housing is in Manhattan. Does anyone brag they live across from MSG. In fact that hotel across the street has always been kind of seedy. The rules aren’t different for Brooklyn. People spending a lot of money want a specific product and environment. Neither AY or the current Flatbush and Atlantic Avenue is it.
The unruly people at AC are those who have just spent 10 hours trying to renew their license at DMV.
I think 2:08 is right. Take me for example, fear of the AYE has prompted me to sell my coop in Clinton Hill and move my lilly white butt … all the way into to Bed-Stuy.
Point of information: Not everyone who is concerned about the impact that AYP will have on quality of life in Downtown Brooklyn is racist. Some of us just enjoy being able to leave Manhattan and come home.
Two comments appeared in previous posts:
First:
“It’s the Atlantic Center. The armpit of Brooklyn. That place is just plain gross. It’s a hideous building and does not attract the best crowds, it’s true.”
The people you’re referring to did not drive miles across Brooklyn to enjoy the shopping experience to be had at the Atlantic Center Mall. They live in the general area. The building is ugly. We can agree on that. But the people are the people and that’s that.
Second:
“This above post essentially sums up the opposition in a nutshell. AY is hated not for the throngs of luxury housing and amenities that it will bring into the surrounding area but for that fact that on game night it will “not attract the best crowdsâ€, e.g., “black people.””
I doubt it. The crowds at the Continental Arena in NJ and the crowds at the Garden are not “black” on game nights. They are mixed. Meanwhile, I can’t recall more than a couple of unpleasant encounters INSIDE or outside any stadium or arena.
Maybe some people should avoid rap concerts. But that’s about it.
