Given the amount of buyer interest there was in Parc Maison, a Windsor Terrace condo which sold surprisingly well this fall, we’re intrigued about the prospects for a nearby South Slope development on 16th Street. Seventeen units at 317 16th Street just went on sale via Brown Harris Stevens, and prices are a bit steeper than at Parc Maison: The cheapest, a 944-square-foot 2-bedroom, is asking $645,000 (common charges $258), while the most expensive, a 1,517-square-foot 2-bedroom duplex, is priced at $940,000 (common charges $378). The listings tout the gourmet kitchens, outdoor terrace/balcony space, a common roof deck and on-site parking. We spied folks streaming in and out of the open house this past weekend—anyone have a report?

  1. i was wondering if brownstoner was every going to pick up on these places. corcoran was actually listing this building and having open houses through december and january. we went to the open house at the beginning of january and actually really liked the place. the fixtures are really beautiful, but 10:56 is right about the minimal kitchen cabinet space. the prices haven’t really changed since the corcoran listings, but corcoran was only able to sell 4 of them.

    the units themselves are pretty nice, although the living room in the 3-bedroom is insanely small. closet space is also kind of scant and, although there are washer/dryer hookups in all the apartments, many of the closets to put those w/ds in are weird shaped and not vented.

    while i really wouldn’t mind living here, i do think they’re overpriced, especially given the ridiculously high closing costs that come with buying a condo from a developer (i.e. paying the developer’s legal fees and transfer taxes, which means your $755,000 apartment becomes an $800,000 apartment in a blink. will you be able to sell it in a few years for $800K? not sure, given the glut of condos.)

  2. The Windsor Terrace condo’s were offered in 2 batches.

    The first open house was sometime in Novembers (?) and about half the unit’s were offered. All went into contract rather quickly (therefore, in a flash). Recently, the remaining condos had open houses.

    Those are priced much better than these. Compare 1700sqft at 699 to 1500sqft at 940.
