Rentals of the Day: The Standish Hits the Market
It’s been common knowledge for several months now that The Standish Arms, the 78,000-square-foot building at 169 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights that the Watchtower Group sold to Taurus Investment Holdings in April 2007 for $50 million, would be marketed post-renovation as a rental property.

It’s been common knowledge for several months now that The Standish Arms, the 78,000-square-foot building at 169 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights that the Watchtower Group sold to Taurus Investment Holdings in April 2007 for $50 million, would be marketed post-renovation as a rental property. Now more news on that front: Halstead will be doing the honors. The conversion reduced the number of units in the building from 128 to 94. Most of the units will range from 400-square-foot studios to 1,000-square-foot two-bedrooms with price ranges of $2,200 to $5,900. There will also be several “one of a kind” apartments that will be offered for $7,200 to $15,000.

Santa, everyone in NYC gets screwed somehow…
Let’s just hope that every once in a while it’s the good kind…
11217, damn, I gotta raise the rent on my tenants.
This is bad, really, really, really bad! Seriously, what a P.O.S.!
You bend over to see what’s in the bottom of the wrong way door opening fridge only to knock the lamp off the table with your rear end.
You separate the sofa and arm chair (which is placed within “splatter range” of the stove) with the dining room table. That’s sure to be conducive to conversation.
11217 is dead on.
I’m glad I’m not the agent for these. I’d be embarrassed.
11217…
your neighbor got screwed.
Looks like a dorm room.
I want to see the ‘special’ apartment that’s $15,000.
“They were asking $2700 for about 450 square feet on a lower floor with no view”
My neighbor just last week rented his 5th floor walk up (500 sf) 1 bedroom in Park Slope for $2500. These prices are not out of line with the market, but the finishes and layouts sure are.
I stopped in here on a whim to check the place out a few weeks ago, and I’ve got to say that those units don’t look any better in person. The one-bed I saw had an additional weird detail–the bathroom floor was about five inches higher than the rest of the joint. They were asking $2700 for about 450 square feet on a lower floor with no view. Incredible.
That broker, Rachelle is smoking hot. Anyone have her #?
Listen, if you’re getting a divorce and need a place to live asap, this is a lot better than the other residence hotels in the Heights or in Midtown. It looks clean, light, and un-infested.
