Rental Reductions at One Brooklyn Bridge Park
Earlier this week, we reported tough times at One Brooklyn Bridge Park, since the bulk of buyers there were Wall Street types. Well, even if you’re not in the market to buy, a couple of units are for rent there, with fresh price cuts. A 588-square-foot, one-bath studio is now $2,600, down from the $2,900…

A 588-square-foot, one-bath studio is now $2,600, down from the $2,900 it was listed on Streeteasy for last month; two similar units are listed at $2,500 and $2,400. Any takers?
Biff, I’m taking your comments as sarcasm.
A 2 minute walk to Borough Hall, perhaps by an Olympian. In a car.
Strange. Brownstoner re-posted my last comment rather than the one I just wrote, which was…
Yes, Borough Hall, where apparently people are getting hit over the head with flashlights these days.

Absolutely not. I love the location… didn’t you hear? =) So lovely, so convenient…

alsawo,
Yep, and a nice, easy 2 minute stroll to Borough Hall. In fact, I think it’s closer to the subways than the homes at Clinton and Remsen. And the fresh air and quite environs too.
^ okay point taken. i didnt mean to get cranky and call you a snob.

“you’re just being a snob with :”they are the only ones with a proper answer”.

Hardly being a snob. I’m saying the only people who can really tell you why they pay ridiculous amounts of money to live in that area are the ones who actually are paying it. You moved from Harlem and now live in Park Slope, right? Why did you do that? Are you paying more? Less? You’d be the only one to answer that question right?
Lets say you make enough to buy a unit in that building. Lets say you -choose- to live there. You would have your own reasons to be there, right?
How is that snobbery on my part?
Like I said, if I had that kind of dough, I could think of a multitude of other places I’d rather be but if I chose to buy there, its my decision and mine alone.
alsawo, I’m wondering if part of the issue here is the building’s location. 😉
