Early Word on 571 Carroll Street
Construction wrapped up at 571 Carroll this January and there has been radio silence ever since. Signage went up on the building but nothing’s up on StreetEasy.

Construction wrapped up at 571 Carroll this January and there has been radio silence ever since. Signage went up on the building but nothing’s up on StreetEasy. We called and found out that the developers are still waiting on “paperwork” and it could be another two months before the building launches. There will be 18 rental units in total, all one bedrooms. Prices will start at $1,800 a month but no word on how high they’ll go.

CMU I NEED TO APOLIGIZE I DID NOT MEAN THAT, RATHER I MEANT TO POST …
I GUESS I AM NOT AS BRIGHT AS I THOUGHT. I AM NOT A HYPOCRITE AND I WISH YOU WELL. I AM SURE YOU ARE VERY SMART.
What is a “Julian Balcony?”
Ugly facade or not, at $1800 those places won’t last a weekend once the paperwork is finished. The balconies are an added bonus. It’s easy to sneer at balconies if you don’t have one or if you have better outdoor space. But even 4 square feet is something a lot of people would pay extra for.
I lived in a place that a balcony, about the same height as these…it was great.
Juliet balcony, eh? Well then:
“Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
Juliet balconies are good for either:
A) storing a bike (ugly eyesore, yes I know)
B) leaning out to smoke so your place doesn’t smell like an ashtray.
the balcones are not juliet as 11217. and they are great for people with dogs if they have visitors over that dont like dog you can just stick the dog on the balcony with a rawhide bone.

A juliet balcony is waste of space in a small NYC apartment. Think about it. You can’t put furniture there because it’s a doorway. It’s already wasting sq. footage. Maybe it adds more light but you can do that with a floor to ceiling window. Unless they plan on putting screens on the outside of them, you’ll have quite the bug problem when you open them up. I’m assuming the juliet balcony is the bedroom which means that your only source of fresh air for that room is to open the doors. Sorry but I think that’s a really shitty design.
I looked at at an apartment a couple blocks over on Degraw or something that had a similar setup in the bedroom and it was ridiculous there too.
> I would live in these – $1,800 for a NEW one bedroom with a balcony?
Totally agree. Would I pay $400,000+ to buy the same place?
No. In fact, hell no.
I would live in these – $1,800 for a NEW one bedroom with a balcony? That’s money, nah mean?
I looked hard for a decent $1,800 one bedroom in the (north) slope and they were all shitty as hell. The “live like a human being” threshold in the Slope seems to be about $2,300 for a one bedroom. This will rent with the quickness.
