639-4th-ave-1108.jpg
Fresh is the adjective of choice at this building, on 639 Fourth Avenue at 18th Street. The adverbs that go with it, per their marketing campaign: architecturally, invitingly, entertainingly and luxuriantly. What’s freshest about it, though, is that the condo building is offering rentals. The property is handled by The Developers Group, and their Web site shows 28 units for rent: one-, two- and three-bedrooms between $2,300 and $3,725. Perhaps a hefty sum for this location. Potentially swaying factors include doorman, valet parking, “floor to ceiling aluminum framed windows almost everywhere, Blizzard Caesar stone Quartz countertops, wide plank white oak flooring, and solid core interior doors.” Anybody looked here and care to report?

  1. Since this place blocks the view I would have had from the attic of my little frame house, I can imagine that any of these places above the 2nd/3rd floor will have amazing harbor and city views.

    Seems like people are living there already.
    Hopefully the first floor retail will be filled at some point.

    It does seem odd to have this neo-brutalist building looking over our little civil war era and depression era shacks. I’ve grown to actually like it though- at least it’s consistent in it’s hukling gray shape and without bricolage style flourishes. In many ways superior to it’s large condo/rental neighbors further north up 4th.

  2. STARTING at $2225 means that they have 1 low floor (on 4th ave remember) 1BR apartment that maybe “convertible” to 2br but is still a sub 700sqft (by the developers ruler btw) 1br.

    For REAL 2brs it looks like you are talking more like 3G for most (albeit a few come in at 2450 – but you have to wonder why)

    I’d also bet that some or all utilities aren’t included – so you have to figure that in as well.

  3. Perhaps the high rental fees are due to the fact they are throwing in a free oil change at the Meineke next door and 10% off your next head stone at Supreme Memorials across the street…I can see a coupon book in the works.

    Silly Developers Group.

  4. This is definitely Greenwood/ Greenwood Heights NOT Park Slope.
    For rentals these look amazing. I guess they are luxury rentals….look at the kitchens!
    I think this building was going to be a condo initially, the selling agents should have updated the website to remove the cc’s and taxes.

  5. The “convertible 2 bedroom” for $2250 seems to be a 654 sq. foot 1 bedroom with 1.5 bathrooms.

    It has a living room, so you could “convert” that to a bedroom by sleeping there.

    Admittedly, your 2nd bedroom would have a kitchen in it, but that is a small price to pay for living in prime park slope — especially in a building as Fresh as this one.
