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?

This is most definitely NOT along one of the best parts of 5th. The first few blocks after Atlantic are actually still rather shabby.
But you are close to the trains. And nice and close to whatever happens at AY.
The “studio duplexes” are pretty dumb, especially at $750k.
From the pictures on Corcoran, natural light appears to be lacking in a serious way.
These listings used to belong to Brooklyn Properties right?
I walk by this all the time and its not close to being done. Theres shit everywhere and I havent seen work beeing done there in months.
I dunno, Crest and Novo are close to JJ Byrne Park, Blue Ribbon, Stone Park Cafe, Whole Foods (if it ever gets built), and is zoned for PS321.
This is closer to more trains, Target and BAM.
I can go either way in terms of location preference.
I’m no fan of Novo or Crest, but at least the balconies on those buildings look usable. These are a joke. And the building looks like one of the lesser Transformers.
Agree, Novo and Crest were cheaper, the early releases were in $600-$650/sq ft range. The remaining units are those on the top floors so are more expensive.
Although Novo and Crest have amenities, the common charges are higher too.
are there any good schools for this location?
Novo and Crest are also much uglier and are on 4th Avenue, whereas this is almost right on 5th…
The location is far superior.
Novo and Crest are HIDEOUS.
This is just bland.
Not offensive like Novo and Crest.
