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.

PropJoe…I agree the prices are a bit over the top, but to reference…I have two friends who live on Central Park West. One in a 4000 a month 1 bedroom and the other in a 3200 a month studio.
These are not CPW prices.
billyboomer…i think you’re right. the refrigerator doors do swing the wrong way
Are they nutz? What’s with these prices. These are CPW type rents
i walk by here every morning and the desperation in the air is thick. but i suppose not desperate enough to come off of the $2200 studio price tag…
wow that is one of the worst kitchens I have ever seen. To punish you more I bet the Refrigerator door swings towards the cabinet not the wall. I hate to say this, developers and real estate brokers that push this crap for top dollar should rot in hell.
Truly the most assinine layout I’ve ever seen
It looks like the inside of a Marriot Extended Stay hotel room.
And I don’t mean that as a compliment.
Whenever I see a fake ficus, I run for the hills.
I used to drool over this building when I lived in Brooklyn Heights back in the mid 90’s. Too bad this didn’t get converted when the market was stronger as its gorgeous.
Ha, so true. They’ll need roller skates to make dinner.
Although if you move the side table to the other side, and move the love seat over a foot or so, you don’t have to get up to reach into the refridgerator. Handy for important tv watching, and resting up after going back and forth in the “kitchen”.
What stupid space planning.
