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?

“pricing is similar to what units at the Crest and Novo were asking”
Not true. Units were available at the Crest for much less and both Crest and Novo have amenities.
I thought the Developers Group had the listings. Last time i saw the building through them.
Another exclusive goes out from the Developers Group?
Any one knows what’s going on with this firm?
Hey guest at 1:22 (aka David Rogers, Elliman broker),
Take your spam and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine!
Maybe they’re not selling because they’re overpriced and the building’s godawful ugly. What exactly is the look the architect is going for here–1960s elementary school meets futuristic prison?
1:22….the cross street of that apartment you just linked is flatbush and atlantic avenues…probably the loudest, busiest and ugliest intersections in the free world.
otherwise, it’s great.
hmmm, absolutely generic apartments with cookie cutter layouts – I can’t believe they’re not selling!
I’m THRILLED they’re not selling frankly. Maybe these losebag developers will learn something. Do something original and smart and your properties will always sell. Design to eek out every last possible dollar, you’re vulnerable to downswings. There are only so many suckers in one borough…
Check out this place. Looks like a very reasonable offer. Apt looks sweet and it’s super close to BAM Cultural District. Looks like a winner. What do you think?

I’m not a broker, actually.
Shut your pie hole, 1:19.
