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?

Stuff that pie in a chocolate covered cannoli, 1:11 and you’ve got yourself a SALE!
Scarano condos come with some seriously bad karma.
I for one am SHOCKED that these have not flown off the shelves like meth-addled pigeons.
I mean, look at those spacious balconies! You could store a slice of pie on them!
Mmmmmm…. pie….
Honestly, I think the problem isn’t the prices. The price looks perfectly reasonable, if not slightly high. You are WAY off with the 30%, 1:08. Way off.
I think they need to pretty up the ground floor level, get that graffiti off that neighboring restaurant and put two big planters on either side of the entrance with two evergreen shrubs.
It’s just not welcoming when you walk by it.
Simple things like that will go a long way, becasue really…the location doesn’t get much better. This is right along the BEST part of 5th avenue, in my opinion.
And super close to trains.
If something isn’t selling, there’s only ONE reason–THE PRICE. Serious sellers need to realize that. Don’t waste time with staging or primping. If you want to sell, and your place isn’t selling, LOWER THE PRICE. Economics 101.
this is way overpriced. lets wait a few more months and see how much they will reduce these by. i’m betting 30%, what about you guys?
ya got a chocolate covered cannoli? I don’t like the plain ones. Make sure there’s extra filling too, please.
I can’t help but think if these condos were in Carroll Gardens, Corcoran could get at least 1.7 to 3.5 a piece for these. I mean, c’mon, its Carroll Gardens!
Fuhgeddaboudit!
Any you mooks want a cannoli?
