Rental of the Day: 126 4th Avenue

When we first posted about the big new rental on 4th Avenue and Baltic a couple of months ago, the general consensus about the building’s design was more or less summed up by one comment: Beaten badly by the Ugly Stick. Again and again. Nevertheless, the development brings the first batch of new-construction rentals to the Boerum Hill-Park Slope-Gowanus border area on 4th (the avenue has, of course, otherwise been flooded with condos builds), and so it’ll be interesting to see how much demand there is for these apartments. Listings have gone up for one- and two-bedroom units in the building at 126 4th Avenue (ready for move-ins by March), and they’re looking to get between $2,400 and $2,500 for the one-bedrooms and around $3,000 for the two-bedroom, 1-baths. Amenities include central air and many of the units have terraces, but tenants have to pay for their own utilities. Rosetta Farrell, the Heights Berkeley Realty agent who’s handling the listings, says the rents are standard for the area, and that she expects the apartments to be snapped up quickly given the dearth of new rentals in the Slope. Considering all the amenities and the fact that it’s a new building, I think they’re very reasonable, says Farrell.

How do I find out what agency owns this building?
If anyone would like to rent one… and they are renting fast. we only charge one month as a fee. The park slope brokers charge crazy high prices.
The building may be ugly and I agree. I would be mad if I had to llok at it from my pretty looking brownstone but its has
a state of the art gym free to residents
boschwasher/dryer in every unit
bike racks
garage if needed
CCTv & video Intercome
gorgeous hig end kitchen w/bosch D/W
stunning baths
hardwood floors
its rent stablized
air conditioning in every room
some apts have terraces bigger than most backyards in brooklyn
if you want to see it call 646-358-2493 only a one month fee.
I looked at these units and everything about them is barf. Many one bdrms have the washer dryer IN the bedroom… are you kidding me? Oh yea, it’s probably worth noting that they are negotiable on the rent and parking spots too. I could have taken one for 2300 and 250 for the spot when I was told 2500 and 275 for the spot. But no thanks, I will keep looking.
SHOCKING NEWS!
Two weeks later and the prices are dropping.
A $3000 2BR is listed $2800 and a $2500 1BR is listed at $2300.
How much more will they have to chop?
I rented on 4th ave a bit north of there up until a couple months ago (And was spending $1500/mo)…What they are asking is aggressive, but whether they have a prayer of getting $2400 for a 1BR depends on the sound insulation more than anything else…The street noise is what drove me away more than anything else…And with AY construction starting, the noise will be getting even worse at night, since trucks will be going up 4th non-stop delivering equipment, raw materials, and hauling away debris…
Looks like the mental ward they gots over on Rosevelt Island
Rent will be $0 once AY is built.
cheap materials, cheap labor, cheap architect, slimy developer, HORRIBLE EYESORE.
Design? What design? Can anybody explain why the top of the glass arch is cut off? Measure twice, cut once. Or at least measure once.
Larger windows are expensive.
While the design is modern, this was a very low-cost construction.
