Condo of the Day: 515 5th Avenue
So far, greenbacks have been following a green development into the Slope: Most of the units at 5 One 5, an environmentally friendly condo (and former advertiser) at 515 5th Avenue, have been snapped up since the development hit the market this April.

So far, greenbacks have been following a green development into the Slope: Most of the units at 5 One 5, an environmentally friendly condo (and former advertiser) at 515 5th Avenue, have been snapped up since the development hit the market this April. The first 10 units at the building—which has a green roof that’s meant to sidestep drainage problems caused by heavy rains and also boasts more quotidian eco-happy features like bamboo flooring—are now in contract. Now the final five units in the condo (all of them on the top three floors) are also on the market, and the price tags are steeper than the $650- to $700-a-square-foot the first 10 units were asking this spring. The remaining apartments are ranging from $779,000 for a 960-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath to $1.2 million for a 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath. Given the speed with which the first condos sold, we’re betting the last five aren’t going to have too much trouble fetching $800+ a foot. It’ll be interesting to see whether other developers in and around the Slope (on 4th Avenue, say) take a cue from 515’s success and also start going green.

NO ONE HAD ANY THING TO SAY REGARDING THE SUPPOSED GREENESS (GREEDNESS?) OF THIS BUILDING.
I want to know if the big deal selling point that this place is “green” is just window dressing.
THANK YOU.
I saw the remaining units in August. They were released at that time… There are no new units “just released” here
I am looking forward to the release of the upper floors. this is a well designed and built building;family friendly and convenient to eveything. It affords one the luxery of living in a building that at the very least has strived to enhance the owners air and quality of life.
Funny I found the ads and the logo quite enticing, most of aguayo’s ads are far superior than the rest of the real estate clan in the slope.
ha
i like the uniformed negativity because it comes with tiny epaulets and knee-high boots.
the remaining units were JUST RELEASED!
please stop commenting unless you actually have real, live information to bring to the table instead of uniformed negativity, 3:40.
2:56 – the fact that the remaining higher-priced units are unsold would say YOU are wrong.
Um, we did that in the second line of the post…
Not that I disagree with anything in the post necessarily, but transparency/ethics would dictate disclosing that 515 is (or at least was recently) a Brownstoner advertiser.
