The Karl Fischer design at 1638 8th Avenue, at Windsor Place, just put its 27 residencies on the market. The project, which is going by the name of Prospect Park Terrace, has a complicated history but, according to neighborhood blog IMBY, will hopefully have a “happy ending.” Curbed notes that there are five triplexes and 12 duplexes in the development, with prices as low as $549,000 for a 920-square-foot two-bedroom up to $1,125,000 for a 1,950 square foot two-bedroom.
My son calls it the Butt Building.
the place has serious access issues. the unit we liked was at the end of the property away from 8th ave. to get there you have to walk a 200 feet ramp which has no handicap access but stairs! with my 2 kids and a stroller that is convenient. Ok fine, even if I accept to deal with that, the storage room which is 2 stairs underground is not easily accessible when you have 2 kids and a stroller on you. same for the bike rack which is located in the same area. and when i get the entrance of the unit on floor 2, there is yet another door i have to open to get into what feels like a box (literally) to open the door of the apt. the finish in the apt looks good but i was not that impressed by the roof top. Also it was not clear how the mail was going to be delivered. there were no boxes yet and the realtor couldnt confirm how packages would be dropped off.
Wow, you really need to zoom in on the overheard photo to appreciate just how much they wedged this thing into people’s yards. I wonder where that grassy meadow in the renderings came from?
wow is that fugly.
It’s in Park Slope, all right, and pretty hideous. I’ve been inside, and the apartments all feel like basement rec rooms…cramped and low-ceilinged.
Is this a new branch of the Smithsonian Institute or housing?
yeah, this is the place that claims to be in Park Slope.
Hmmm. Interesting that the rendering does not ow the surrounding properties that have their yards adjacent to the side of the building…which have been falling into its mud pit sine 2005.
That being said, the final build out of the building is very interesting and distinctive. Too bad the developers ere such putzes.
