don’t know much about that particular part of BH, but there are some pretty cracked out brokers posting on here today. GS people don’t “have” to buy a place in BH. some “may” do so, but they didn’t become so badass by being unwise with money. $2500 per square foot would buy some prime tribeca (which is way closer to the new building), or just about any other hot neighborhood in manhattan. i knew RE brokers were pretty clueless/delusional, but this takes the cake. my guess is that the place is at least $1mn overpriced.
I agree about the price per sf comments, to a point. We own a lovely 3BR/2BA prewar condo, about 1200 sf, and while we looked at many, many apts (before buying) that technically had more square feet, our apt worked much better for us since the lay-out is extremely efficient and “flows” well and thus “feels” much bigger than many apartments with a lot of wasted space and problems like no storage (we have 5 generous closets). Still, there is a certain reality to square footage. While I think our apartment is great for now, we simply do need more sf for our growing family. But, I too would rather buy a more modest house with, say 1600-2000 of living space – if well laid out – than waste my money on 2500-3000 of space where space is wasted. Also I also agree that since measurements of SF are not standardized, it creates a lot of confusion. Many brokers have told us square footage amounts that seemed to contradict other methods of calculating. At the end of the day, the space has to be laid out well and things like light, efficient storage, flow etc. all factor into the value per square foot, in my opinion – not just the sf per se. That said, I also think the per sf prices on the Garden Place home and 10th street houses are ridiculous.
10th street does offer a nice view and the clankity-clank of the elevated F train in the distance.
This house bears out the consensus on the recent Brooklyn Heights thread that the neighborhood is in fact not predominated by mega-rich bankers (who live in Connecticut) but instead by merely-very-rich lawyers.
Bloody hell! A lesson in reading comprehension as well as math is needed in some quarters. I said “DOES seem like a hell of a lot of money to me.”, guest at 3:18.
2100 square feet is not tiny,
gimme a break.
Who are you? JP Morgan?
Re 10th St Mitchel Lama
If it walks and looks like a duck……
It is ugly low income housing. It effects the value of real estate that is near it. It is a project.
I say the Heights house goes for four even.
