No Takers at The Silhouette?
The Silhouette launched at 272 21st Street this April as Brooklyn’s first residential development to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. But so far, it doesn’t look like they’ve had much luck selling the four units in this Greenwood Heights condo. The prices first ranged from $859,000 to $930,000, then took a price drop this summer….

Now a two-bedroom is going for $775,000 and a top-floor one bedroom for $899,000. StreetEasy isn’t showing any takers. Think the price is still too high?

ok ok its a 5 minute walk going to the train- but it’s a 10 minute walk home because that hill is murder!
JohnnyPump, I agree with everything except the 10 minute walk to the train part. How slow do you walk?! LOL There’s a station at 4th and 17th or can go to 4th and 25th. 5 minutes tops.
Looks really nice to me. Does anyone know if any of the units have outdoor space?
Plus, I would pay a big premium just to live close to Snappy.
$899,000 for a one bedroom- Do you honestly need to ask if the price is too high?? For 899,000 you could buy a whole house in greenwood heights and still have money left over for a car and a few vacations. The house is no where near Prospect park and still about a 10 minute walk to the train, no parking, no library, no supermarket- the closest store is the corner bodega. It sounds like they must have dedicated wayyy too much sq footage to the one bedroom for that price. I can’t see anybody buying a one bedroom in that area for more than 500,000 and even that is alot. 775,000 for a 2 bedroom could be good depending on the square footage but if its small then I’d say it could go for 675K-700K. I understand its LEED certified but that doesn’t mean that you’re not going to have to pay energy/water bills- it just means you might save a few bucks but definitely not enough to afford an apartment here!!
It is an awesome building, but as said above- priced way too high-
Apts there are still higher than a house on the same block. Also higher than ther resales at the big and pretty nice old schoolhouse condos across the street. Wisht them the best and hope they can break even, but also hope that they didn’t bank on those prices/sqft to make money on this project-
typically, LEED certified construction = significant upfront cost, lower operating cost. LEED Plat is the best rating out there which explains these prices. Most folks not versed in LEED construction just see your typical higher end finishes etc and do not understand the technologies enough to justify high price. FWIW I think LEED is a crock of……A building like this appeals to a very niche market.
It’s probably too high for that neighborhood.
Overpriced for the neighborhood. They look beautiful, but they’re trying to charge Park Slope/Brooklyn Heights prices for Greenwood, which isn’t going to work.
I haven’t seen the apts in person but I gotta say they look great. And for my family, the location is perfect, etc.
It looks like may they have a premium price b/c of the LEED Platinum rating—not a hellava lot more than your nicer-than-average new construction bldg., but certainly more. One thing I am surprised/disappointed about is that there’s no underground parking.
