Corcoran just launched the sales campaign for 255 1st Street, the 32-unit condo that once upon a time was called The Gowanus (despite being located between 4th and 5th avenues). Thus far, only five listings have popped up, ranging from a $800,000 one-bedroom to a $1,100,000 three-bedroom. The pre-opening sale was held on Saturday. Anyone go?

  1. It took the entire time from day Brooklyn was founded in 1646 until 2007 for prices to reach $1,000 a square foot. We are supposed to believe that what took 360 years to accomplish will take just 15 years?

    Folks – there comes a time when one must think rationally about economic matters. I love Brooklyn as much as the next resident, but this is ridiculous.

    There is a bubble. Whether or not we have a jubilee year of debt collapse and price deflation, or government induced hyperinflation – I do not know.

    These are strange times however, and caution is warranted.

  2. You’ll be sorry, 4:26 when they are 2000 psf in 15 years.

    People said the EXACT same thing as you did 20 years ago. $100 psf in Park Slope??? It was red-lined.

    Now it’s the golden child of Brooklyn.

    Keep renting though. I’m sure your rent will be cheaper in 20 years.
