Condos of the Day: 134 St. Marks Place
It’s tough to beat this new Scarano-designed condo in the North Slope for proximity to Fifth Avenue retail and all the subway lines at Atlantic (not to mention that as new construction, it’s something of a rare bird in this neck of the woods). That said, buyers don’t seem to be falling all over themselves…
It’s tough to beat this new Scarano-designed condo in the North Slope for proximity to Fifth Avenue retail and all the subway lines at Atlantic (not to mention that as new construction, it’s something of a rare bird in this neck of the woods). That said, buyers don’t seem to be falling all over themselves to ink deals here: The development’s been listed for a few months now and Corcoran’s website isn’t showing any units in contract. The seven listings are running between $535,000 and $565,000 for the one-bedroom, one-baths; around $740,000 for the two units that top 1,000 square feet; and $995,000 for the biggest unit, a 1,352-sf two-bedroom, two-bath. 134 St. Marks’ pricing is similar to what units at the Crest and Novo were asking, and (for our money, anyway), 134’s location is a lot better—so we wonder why more of these aren’t in contract. (Market jitters? Uninspired interiors?) Anyone checked them out?

i live around the corner and would LOVE to buy one at these prices. however, the building is ugly, ugly, ugly. the units have the “sneaky” scarano tricks like: hey, there’s an unfinished attic up there so your studio could actually be a 1-bedroom! the developer/arch even left places for you to punch out your own windows!

Holy shit! 1:22, aka David Rogers from Prudential Elliman, has been posting about that State Street apartment for MONTHS now, on pretty much every NYC real estate blog that exists, including Curbed. It’s pathetic, really. And a true sign of the desperation that many realtors must be feeling.
What 1:09PM said….
It’s almost like they don’t want it to sell.

It’s not even a Transformer, this is Go-Bot the Condo. The architecture can be described as “riotproof” or “Stalinistic” at best.
Good work on the balcony boys, you’re ITT degree is paying for itself.
$995,000 for 2BR? It is indeed deeply mysterious why these aren’t selling.
I couldn’t get the floorplans to load and the pictures are terrible. Some of them don’t show anything of the unit at all–like the one of the table against the wall–what the hell is that? No photo of the kitchen, either. Bad listings.
Actually in terms of retail, the shops along this part of 5th Avenue are the best.
10 new shops have opened up in and around 5th and Bergen in the past year with a couple more on the way, it seems.
I think this stretch of 5th has become most vibrant.
