Shangri-La' No Paradise for Buyers. Or Brokers.
Seems like two brokerages weren’t enough to get buyers interested in a newly constructed, but aesthetically challenged, Greenwood Heights condo building.

Seems like two brokerages weren’t enough to get buyers interested in a newly constructed, but aesthetically challenged, Greenwood Heights condo building. Our pals at StreetEasy passed along a tip that there’s been a changing of the marketing guard for the colorfully named Shangri-La at 710 Sixth Avenue. Prudential Douglas Elliman is now handling sales for the development, replacing Brooklyn Properties and Brown Harris Stevens. Elliman has apparently shed the building’s name—it’s now more somberly listed as simply 710 Sixth Avenue—though there’s been no price chopping along with the other changes. (Surprising, given that none of the 15 units found a buyer over the last couple of months.) The apartments are still averaging around $600 a square foot, with the lower floor condos going for about $400 a foot and the upper-floor apartments asking in the $750-a-square-foot range. What’s going on here? Could it be that people just don’t want to pay up to live in an ugly, generic building?

To Shill:
Try to be a little skillful in your planted comments, that’s just pathetic!

okaaayyy
8:38 you are right, all those broker comments right in a row, blatant indeed.
someone told me that even the people at elliman were making fun of this place.
these places aren’t selling. do not be fooled.
9:59–Perhaps U need to consult your broker for that info.
SO, 9:59, which unit did you buy? I just want to make sure I don’t run over there only to be disappointed.
9:59 — you’re brilliant. keep up the good work.
Speaking of disgruntle neighbor, I wonder if 4 flat tires’ has any thing to do with all the bad publicity..?? Gotten laid lately…let me guess… probably NOT!!!!!!
I’m no broker nor a disgruntle neighbor, I’m in the market to purchase my next home… I have shopped around, compared prices, finishes, living space, location, with all the competition in the area …I’ve found my ‘Shangri-La’. By the way, the view from the “common†roof deck is amazing. Check it out for yourself
I think brokers should be compelled to at least admit they are the ones posting on here for their own listings. Would make things more credible all around, eh?
