‘Tis the season of TCO’s, it seems: A reader tipped us off to the fact that the Argyle, the 60-unit condo on the corner of 4th Avenue and 7th Street, got its temporary certificate of occupancy last week. Closings are slated to start this week. Corcoran’s listings page for the building shows 12 units still for sale, with prices ranging from $459,000 for a one-bedroom to $965,000 for a three-bedroom.

Ok, got some information and I not sure if its good or bad for those still stuck with this monstracity of a building:
Temp COO received on 5/19
What does this mean? Window of opportunity has closed to get your money back. They were required to complete 1 closing by 5/31 and since they did 1 (at least) they are not under obligation to refund deposits.
Needless to say I want out by any means necessary. Anyone else of the same ilk? With the market going the way that it is and the banks requiring hefty money from the buyers end you will be underwater in this property if you stay. Well, that’s my perspective and I would rather not throw anymore good money on this. Just my personal perspective on a more and more gloomy situation.
If there are others out there who feel the same or have any advice I am all ears
Anything close?
Sure looked blue to me when I drove by earlier today.
The stucco job is terrible… looks really uneven and patchy. The rounded “bay window” structure on the upper floors facing south is pretty horrendous also.
That said, when we were looking for a new place we took a look at this bldg. The price was decent for 3 bdrms, but the layouts were a little off. Nothing terrible, but the location is what really turned us off. Fourth Ave is improving, but traffic noise will always be a problem and I’m just not crazy about Gowanus: “Oh yea, you’ll know you’re near our place when you pass the big Superfund cleanup site”
Want a value three bedroom in Park Slope? We found one.

Unit 2 went into contract instantly. One unit left at that price. Beautiful finishes and priced well. We looked at the Argyle. The interiors look pretty good but the exterior is extremely disappointing.
Good luck!
The Argyle is grey. Photos are not accurate, when processed by who knows who, using what profile, filtered thru Stoner, then viewed thru browsers that don’t even support color management.

WHAT IS THE COLOR OF THE ARGYLE?
BLUE? SILVER? BUTT UGLY?
Are you talking about the empty lot on 8th Street and 4th Ave?
sitmd/SS, the lot btw 5th Street and 6th Street is owned by Katan, his financing fell thru (surprise) so even tho the footings have been sunk it is not going anywhere soon. But it will some day.
The lot next to the firehouse, last time I heard was slated for a similar fate, but the ownership on that was a bit less clear. I don;t believe the footings were sunk for that one.
sjtmd: Don’t you mean leave the money and run?
