One Sunset Park: A Blogger's Review

Last week, we announced that One Sunset Park, a relatively high end condo conversion at 702 44th Street at 7th Avenue, had arrived on the market. This week, Sunset Park’s resident blogger, Best View in Brooklyn, has reviewed the project.
When I noticed the One Sunset Park banner go up a few weeks ago, a piece of my heart sank. Ironically, it was because the whole business (the scaffolding that went up and down pretty quickly, the construction crews and the bin o’ demo trash handling that actually looked professional) seems to be a solid, responsible, up-and-up project. That is, in comparison to the many condo projects going down (up?) on 7th and 8th Avenues. I just get sad when the amount of rentals available goes down…
However… It’s very modern-looking, and it’s very chic. The cherry floors, the full and separate washer/dryer, and the window shelf in the bathroom were particularly appealing to me. That, and the promised additional laundry in the basement. Sometimes you don’t want to wash bathrooms rugs in the same machine you wash your underwear. You know?
Finally, BVIB suggests stopping by to make up your own mind. Open houses are every Wednesday and Saturday from 11AM to 7PM.

it looks like a Finnish Co-op building got a make over by a hotel designer.
I live in one of the Finnish coops in the neighborhood so it’s in my interest to see prices go up. That said, yes One Sunset Park is nice but I don’t understand the pricing. A ‘725 sq ft’ 1 bedroom, just like these, with more original detail can be had for $300K (no park view) to $325K (park view) in one of the 20+, 100% owner occupied Finnish coops. A 1 bedroom ‘550 sq ft’ would go for about $200K. And the maintenance is probably lower. The health club across the street in the park is $50/year too. Overall…at least $50K too high I think.
I saw these last weekend and really liked them. I too think they’re a little over priced but am hopeful the prices will drop or I can negotiate a lower price. The apartments with views of the park are quite nice. Overall, I thought they were doing a really good job.
Looks nice, but it is seriously overpriced for the area, not to mention being a 40% owner-occupied building.
this looks great actually – affordable and nice inside. great for a young couple or a single who can rent the other room out to help pay costs.
Pictures look nice. I especially like the bathroom.
