If all these listings at the Park Circle were up when we discussed the development last week, we somehow missed ’em. So we were surprised to see that 14 of the apartments are already in contract, according to the Corcoran site. Most of the apartments are priced in the $450 to $550 a foot range, with the higher floors not surprisingly commanding the premium. Unit #401, for example, is 1,660 square feet and has a maintenance of $541 and an asking price of $785,000. We have to say that the ceilings don’t look as low as we had feared based on some comments in last week’s thread. It’s hard to find apartments this big at this price in Brooklyn. If more services do come to the area, these could end up looking like good deals in a couple of years.

  1. Lower ceilings alone aren’t a problem. Many mid-century houses have lower ceilings and are still great design and great to live in. Looking at those homes as inspiration, we know with lower ceilings the windows should have been made huge. And all the interior details ultra modern. In other words, they should not have gone with shaker style wood cabinets. The furniture and decor in the model unit is also bad and a downer.

  2. The ceiling issue may vary from floor to floor. I was looking at the largest unit in the building on the eigth floor. It was a mess. Ducting below the ceiling grade verywhere.

    But I can agree that I loved the floorplan. That is what got me out there.
