Condos of the Day: Cumberland Greene

The public got an advance look at the new-construction, townhouse-style condos at 237 Cumberland Street on the Fort Greene House Tour back in May. The place wasn’t finished yet, but it was apparent that the developers (who own and live in the house next door) were putting a lot of care into the project. The overall vibe was quite modern, and the layouts were more open than you would find in a real townhouse. At the time, the most attention-grabbing feature was the rear garden (a picture of which is on the jump). To date, one out of four units has gone into contract, according to the Brooklyn Properties website. The three remaining units range in size from 1,579 to 1,695 square feet and $1,650,000 to $1,799,000. It would be interesting to know what the first unit sold for. Although $1,000 a foot seems on the high side to us, it is a differentiated product.

So why is the top floor (with roof deck) the same price as the third floor (same exact apartment, no roof deck)?
They seem overpriced to me as well and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them drop a couple hundred thou.
Pierre, nothing like the thought of Edith Piaf on a gorgeous summer afternoon. Merci beaucoup.
Very nice but certainly overpriced. $1000 per sq. ft is Prime PS and BH territory.
Great work but I am sorry these prices are simply too optimistic IMHO. But then again all my Manhattan friends can’t get enough of FG so maybe just MAYBE… ah la vie en rose:)
What happened is the owner–who lives next door–kept the ground-floor apartment in the development, and hence retained the garden.
In other words, no units have been sold (nor will they at these outrageous price points).
The prices are nuts. More than $1000/sf in Fort Greene? That seems, shall we say, a trifle optimistic.
no one thinks these prices are ridiculously high, beautiful or no?
LOVE these layouts – not many photos, but from exterior pics and drawings, looks like they did a wonderful job. what joy to see something well done – so very very rare in this borough.
SKF, I was wondering the exact same thing. Can anyone explain?
