Condos of the Day: Price Cuts at 192 Spencer
It looks like the developers behind 192 Spencer may have been overly optimistic about the kind of prices the industrial section of northwestern Bed Stuy can support at this stage. The 47-unit building, which we’ve affectionately been referring to as the Kodachrome building, just reduced prices on the first seven units it released in September…
It looks like the developers behind 192 Spencer may have been overly optimistic about the kind of prices the industrial section of northwestern Bed Stuy can support at this stage. The 47-unit building, which we’ve affectionately been referring to as the Kodachrome building, just reduced prices on the first seven units it released in September by 10%; according to Streeteasy, a second batch of seven other apartments was also just released. Prices of available units range from $325,000 for a 634-square-foot one-bedroom to $611,100 for a 1,011-square-foot one-bedroom. Surprised that isn’t selling better? We are.

Wait those ‘guys’ with those girls are actually girls?
That explains a lot, I always just thought Park Slope was full of manly women and feminine guys….who were all unattractive and all bad dressers!
I would argue that many of the “singles” listed in the prior commenters “never married” statistic are skewed due to the fact that Co-habitating couples, both straight and gay, are counted here. I certainly don’t consider Park Slope a great place for straight up singles–namely those who are not in Co-habitating or in otherwise committed relationships. Park Slope is definitely a place where people move once they want to settle down a bit–so though it may not be the Upper East Side, it is certainly no Lower East Side, rife with singles, nightlife and hook-up opportunities. Whether or not this is good or bad, I’ll leave for you to judge!
I think people just might be scared of the street and the developer’s group.

I kind of like the look of this building. It’s sort of the demon spawn of a public school from the 1960s and a Mondrian painting.
That said, I think some more serious chopping will be required before these things move.
good article about the lezzies in the slope…

The folks on this blog who think that grown-up neighborhoods like Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights etc are boring are either very young or have stopped evolving intellectually and emotionally at some point in their late teens or early twenties.
They probably also have too many piercings.
This is also an incredibly “fugly” building. An aesthetic disaster in my opinion (and no, I don’t care who the architect is!).
Yup and 10% is a helluva lot of lesbians for any given community.
The point here…and all you have to do is look at the statistics above…there are more singles in Park Slope than there are married people.
All you have to do is look at the businesses in the North Slope….the new Flight001, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Southpaw, Union Hall, Patio Lounge….these places cater to singles.
Don’t see too many moms spending $500 on an aluminum clad carry on luggage.
You can continue to take your news about Park Slope from Gawker and NyMag, but those of us who know anything about it, know what the neighborhood is really like.
OK mister lesbian census taker 1:23 PM. I live in PS near 6 and St. Johns and have lived here for 10 years and I know what I see everyday. The girls even have families now.
