DAMN! This thread pretty much verifies the “head-up-their-collective-tight-asses” mentality that permeates like rotting sewage in ye’ olde community of hateful Bore-em. Do you guys know anything about what it takes to get an evacuated tube solar hot water system approved by the DOB? Do you know about the solar voltaic system that powers practically all the electric in there and feeds energy back to the grid for a profit? This development is a damn triumph over adversity and all you can say is “it’s fugly.” As for pricing, it’s priced what other townhouses of equal size and stature go for in your ghetto-ass neighborhood so blame Halstead for that. Property value is based on taxation and what the market can deliver but in the case of valuation on a property like this, there aren’t comparisons even remotely like it to make your standard assessments. Anyway, didn’t mean to rant, I’m just glad I don’t live near any of you.
fugly and bad location as far as noise. i used to live right near here, on pacific which was bad enough with trucks using it as an illegal shortcut in the mornings. nevins sucks, and being so close to atlantic isnt a plus. “green” stuff should at least be on a tranquil street.
If they really wanted this to be “green” they would have put a garden instead of a garage. I cannot believe someone into “green” living would pay $3million and not have a proper garden (not to mention dining room). I can easily think of many dozens of homes I have seen in much better areas that are way better than this. You could buy a $2million townhouse and “green” renovate it and be way, way better off. Sadly, the whole “green” thing (however laudable in principle) seems to be equivalent of what “oat bran” used to be – slap on the label and consumers will lap it up. Except not at $3 million.
How can you include a *parking spot* in a building in downtown Brooklyn and call that green? It’s ridiculous. This is incredibly close to several subway lines. Green marketing is out of control if something that involves off-street parking can be called green.
The exterior is very unattractive.
I, too, live around the corner from this thing and walk by it frequently. It’s fugly. Strange massing. Bad material choices. Fugly.
Like Chuck, I live near this structure. I can attest that neither Chuck nor I are brokers. (Hiya, Chuck!)
It’s definitely better looking up close, although the size of the limestone blocks is sadly close to cinder block (what was the thinking there??). It is TONS better than the burned-out shell that stood for decades. I look forward to seeing the interiors during OHNY before passing any further judgment.
not gorgeous.
I like the upper portion, but I think the lower infilled area is a disappointment. I have walked by and would never have thought the material was limestone – looks like cinder block. The layout and sizing of the windows was poor, although the floorplan probably dictated some of it.
