Today’s new condo reports focuses on a development that has been profiled on Brownstoner before. Located on a busy commercial stretch of Myrtle Avenue between Clermont and Adelphi, lies this unique 4 story building. Featuring angled windows to take advantage of light and outdoor spaces, this new construction attempts to set itself apart from the others.
The site consists of one commercial condo and three large floor-thru duplex condominium units. The ground floor commercial unit measures in at just under 2000 square feet for $994K, while the other three units are 1533-1688 square feet and cost $877K, $890K and $919K. The residential units have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Maintenance is about $260 a month.
Units feature 17 foot high ceilings, large gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, en-suite bathrooms, spacious closets and laundry hook-ups. This condo is located close to many amenities, like supermarkets, restaurants, bars and hardware stores. But as last week’s two shootings attest, the area still contains some rough spots. An open house is scheduled March 26 from 12:30 to 3:30pm.

New Building on Myrtle [Brownstoner]
Every Thursday, ltjbukem, whose own blog Set Speed scrutinizes the progress and quality of new developments in the area we know as Brownstone Brooklyn, pens a guest post about goings-on in the condo market with an emphasis on new projects.
Cop shoot cop shootings!
CHP Ignoring the huge % of wealth people who dont fall into this category for a sec – dont the people who get an education, and/or honestly work hard deserve prime location and views more than those that dont and depend on the govt instead?
This is all just sensationalism!
Those who consider themselves race- and class-conscious shouldn’t bother to dignify the comments of idiots with a response. Just ignore them.
It isn’t surprising to me that any news regarding projects east of flatbush ave ends up in a nasty debate.
I’m sure brownstoner is sitting back and revelling in all the muck that he stirs up on a daily/weekly basis. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s posting some of those anonymous comments himself just to get the pit bulls going for the jugular.
I’m surprised that anyone would consider the fort greene projects to be on ‘waterfront’ property. That’s like saying that the apartment buildings on 8th avenue in manhattan are on waterfront property. Sure, if you build a tall enough building you might be able to retain some waterfront views but you still have to walk several blocks to get anywhere near the murky waters of the east river.
To suggest that the projects should be leveled is totally ridiculous and falls in line, in my opinion, with genocide and ethnic-cleansing. Mixed-income housing sounds like a great idea. It’s proven to work in several housing developments across the country. People respond to their surroundings. Time after time it’s witnessed that ‘poor’ people begin adopting the values of the ‘rich’ once the neighborhood gentrifies.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the rich folks started eating fried chicken, watermelon and shooting cops…calm down…just a bad joke made by someone of color.
I agree, let them eat cake…
Thank you, Oh Lord, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to post much of the same, but had to go to a meeting – pesky job!!!!
I’m really loving all the elitists who are more upset that projects exist on prime land, than are upset that projects exist. I’m so glad that wealthy people are the only ones deserving of a good view, or living on prime land. I know developers, as well as location hungry yuppies curse the day the city built housing developments in Chelsea, lower Manhattan, on the Upper West Side, and the killer – behind Lincoln Center. And now Brooklyn!!!!
Oh those damn poor people! With their kids and their loud music and the crime and unemployment, and poverty, and their love of fried chicken and junk food. How dare they take up valuable space, where sensitive souls with money, sophistication and taste should be living. Why something should be done! I know, we’ll bulldoze the projects, and replace them with luxury condos with river views, a park, and a Viking range and Sub Zero fridge in every apartment. We’ll fill all those condos with well educated, attractive youngish people with good jobs in finance, advertising and publishing, and they’ll all have one child, who will play in the new riverside park with his/her peers, and will attend the new private school that will be built on the premises.
All those pesky poor people who used to live there? Well, they’ll survive, they always do. The more tractable and trainable will be housekeepers and nannies and groundsmen and drivers. The rest can go to the jails – oh! not the one on Atlantic – that’s condos too! Or somewhere, we don’t care, it’s not our problem, and it’s their fault they’re poor anyway. The ones we hire, they’ll have to take the subway in from Far Rockaway, or Long Island, because they can’t afford to live closer. Hmmm, Far Rockaway – there’s some nice beach land there. We shouldn’t allow poor people to live on a BEACH, for godssake! We could put luxury condos there!
French Revolution, anyone?
Cop shootings!

and this is the listing for the lofts right next door. 2 per floor plus a big commercial space in what used to be a burnt-out pharmacy.
what shootings?
I also think the place seems expensive. I’ve heard rumors of other condos coming up on myrtle. Is it possible that the developer of this one is counting on others?
