Last week the first three closings at the 34-unit Satori, the condo on Bond and Carroll streets, were recorded in public records. Here’s what went: Unit A3E, which, according to the building’s condo declaration, is 1,000 square feet, closed for $733,140, with the sale including a parking space; unit B2A, a 661-sf apartment, sold for $481,650; and unit A3A, a 1,100-sf unit, fetched $789,000. StreetEasy shows 12 active listings in the building, with prices going from $299,000 for a 500-sf unit to $749,000 for a 1,550-square-footer. The condo got its final certificate of occupancy in May.

  1. Oh well, there goes the neighborhood’s favorite uninhabited white elephant. My girlfriend and I used to really enjoy walking by that place when walking the dog, laughing our asses off.

  2. Thanks for the details. $500/sf.

    Not nearly as strong as the $700/sf you initially praised, mind you, but if you move the goalposts enough, it looks like you scored a victory. Congratulations!

  3. Can’t just serve you your meal, now I have to chew it for you too?

    Math Lesson # 1: A3E total sq ft = 1483 (excluding outdoor space) at $733,000 is $494/sq ft

    Math Lesson # 2:B2A total sq ft = 886 at $481,650 is $494/sq ft

    Math Lesson # 3: A3A total sq ft = 1575 (excluding outdoor space) at $789,000 is $501/sq ft

    If I recall that is exactly the price of the current Streeteasy asks. So no overnight collapse and no collapse in two months.

    These are undeniably strong sales for a new condo on the edge of a strong neighborhood in a building that is less than 50% sold. Further, $500 sq ft under values the property as it gives full value to mezz level. If you apply a 50% haircut to mezz area, each of these sold for the equivalent of $600 sq ft. I defy you to show me local comps that traded 20% above these levels…ever.

  4. > perhaps the reason you can’t even carry on a logical discussion…

    Is that a discussion takes two and you are employing zero logic.

    > details matter

    Indeed. You’ve provided none.

  5. PPS

    rely on Streeteasy at your own peril. in this case it’s wrong.

    and it takes a split second to realize that those histories don’t pass a smell test. (except they passed your smell test. LOL.)

    and it takes about two minutes of clicking to see what’s really going on. it’s a little confusing if you’re unwilling to dive into the details, so i understand why you don’t get it.

  6. you were the one jumping to (wrong) conclusion.
    i think that those are strong prices still.
    you still think the buyers are idiots.
    perhaps the reason you can’t even carry on a logical discussion is that you’re too busy down your alice and wonderland hole. i can see you enjoy your alternate reality, reina.

    details matter; smart ass comments from a loose cannon…not so much. occasionally good for a giggle, but not much else.

  7. Poor, poor Auntie D. You could have left it alone, but no, you had to paint yourself even further into a corner.

    Let’s assume you are correct – based on nothing, but I will humor you – and Mr B did not include the mezzanines in the sf measurements.

    All that means is that the $psf on these initial sales were lower, thus diluting your initial premise that these were strong sales.

    Queen takes pawn. Checkmate.
