Nonsense, Jugs. I mean who doesn’t love mid-century modern? And those office building-esque condos with a counter, uncomfortable stools, and a subzero?
Just… if you’re shopping in a building made of glass at the GREEN market, perhaps you need to rework your ideologies. Slightly.
Week after week I am befuddled that the Meier building always tops the list of most expensive property sold. I am beginning to question my assumption that the multitudes of real estate sages that frequent brownstoner might not know what they are talking about. I know, it’s crazy to even entertain such an absurd notion, yet I find myself doing so. This upsets me, because the main point of coming on brownstoner is to hate any and every new building on the market. If it wasn’t built prior to 1935, it must be a piece of s***.
Touche’, I get it. I just can’t believe there are THAT many people out there with this much money and that particular taste.
LincolnSlope – You are making the mistake of assuming that your taste is everyone else’s taste. While I love the Montauk Club apartment, I also love a nice, clean blank slate of a space.
The Meier building looks better in pictures… most pictures tone down how green it is. It’s really green. Green and frosted. Like a makeover gone wrong. Yuck. 🙂
Well, the thing is, I would expect them to just ditch the deposit. We are talking about something that is probably worth 40% less today or at least in a year. These things are boxes of glass. Unintereseting boxes of glass.

L’Slope, maybe this bldg is like Porsche’s pricing-wise – ie the huge price tag is the draw, bragging rights, etc. Funny how the super wealthy thinks sometimes.
The apartments in OPP went into contract back in ’07 way before the current economic downturn. I am sure that the folks who are paying these crazy prices are stuck and would have lost their deposits if they were to back out now. Certainly, if they had to sell today, the apartment would be worth a lot less than they paid.
