Forte Marketing Effort Gets a Makeover

After a couple of years of keeping control over the sales process at the Forte in house, the Clarett Group has gone outside and tapped The Developer’s Group to take over the marketing of the 108-unit tower in the BAM Cultural District of Fort Greene. As you can see from the new ad running on this site, the visual campaign has had a makeover. As far as we can tell, the squad change has not come with any sweeping price cuts. (Updated listings are here.) It will be interesting to see if this move—combined with the typically strong spring season—can jump start sales. Judging from the stats on StreetEasy, the 30-story tower is about 50-percent sold. According to the brass at TDG, the model apartments have also gotten make-overs. You can check ’em out at the kick-off bagel brunch event on Sunday from 12 to 3.
are the prices on new developments like these negotiable? How can they think they can get away with such high prices!?
Guy, public records on Streeteasy indicate that over 30% have closed.
I actually counted the number of lights I saw the other night. I think it was twelve or thirteen. Granted some people might have been out for the evening but it was not that late (maybe 10pm). There is no way that place is even 25% sold. Whoever dreamed up that place is in trouble. They have no chance of renting that retail space anytime soon.
Forte appears to be almost 95% empty and sad looking. We love FG but this one hasn’t done well at all and will take big price reductions or go the rental route.
Now from an aesthetics stand point whats with that UGLY water tower on the top of the building? Really poor finishing there by the architects or engineers. That tank defaces the entire project and looks very amateurish …make a huge roof garden or surround the tank with a glass house of the same trigonal design or something….Meis is rolling over in his grave.
Makeover II coming soon: Forente’

“Judging from the stats on StreetEasy, the 30-story tower is about 50-percent sold.”
But as soon as the sun sets, the lights are 75% off (or worse). Consistently.
