Condo of the Day: The Heritage at Park Slope
We know a heartwarming story when we come across it, and we’re happy to share this one with you. It’s called “History is a Simple Tale”: Many, many years ago a man bought a building. He became a father. And then a grandfather. Down through each generation the building was passed. And today it is…
We know a heartwarming story when we come across it, and we’re happy to share this one with you. It’s called “History is a Simple Tale”:
Many, many years ago a man bought a building. He became a father. And then a grandfather. Down through each generation the building was passed. And today it is ready to be passed on once again. As a new building. A residential building. To you.
So goes the marketing lingo for The Heritage at Park Slope, a 21-unit condo on 2nd Street between 4th and 5th avenues. And guess what? People are buying it, for around $800 a square foot (NateFind even reported a price increase on a unit a few weeks ago). The pitch’s nostalgia trip probably has a lot to do with the building’s brick-face design, c/o Karl Fischer. Durukan Design took care of the interiors, which sport “custom Italian kitchens” and bathrooms with “soaking tubs and separate glass-enclosed shower stalls.” History’s not coming cheap here, but maybe the success of the non-newfangled design has a lesson to teach other condos?

congrats, marion. hope you don’t have to sell soon.
congrats on the new place, marion!
I am one of seven in contract on this 21 unit building. I’ve checked out the other new developements north of 9th St. and find this the best. Baseboard hot water heat, central air with condensor on the roof so its part of your maintenance, and very nice sized rooms. My unit came in at under $825 per s.f. with no value attributed to the 100 s.f. balcony facing north which has a view (at least for now) of the Manhattan skyline. The developer is the owner of Bergen Tile who has had the property over 35 years. They are doing it with the own $ , no bank loan. Prices were raised once on some units. I suspect the duplex basement units are going to be a hard sell where prices have to come down. “Virtual doorman” is simply television intercom system. I’m a happily retired camper, have no affiliation with Halstead and am looking forward to moving in!

I was just reading the Halstead listings, and pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a “Virtual Doorman?”
The nice 2br options are in brownstones and pre-war apartments, not these new condo crapfests.
yes, and those other option are novo and the crest.
it’s like apples and oranges.
these are actually nice places.
i think you heard wrong about sales. i heard that they were selling briskly.
Actually I heard sales were not going that well at all. I was introduced to this property 5 months ago and I know they have been too hard to sell, they came off desperate and wouldn’t stop calling me, really turned me off. There are plenty of options for a 2BR without paying $850 a foot in this nabe!!!
My goodness, why all the venom? If I want this kind of carping I’ll go read Curbed.
used to live near there. block is changing.
