That Was Quick: 236 Dean Snapped Up
Yowza! Guess the market can’t be that weak. We just got a tip that the brick beauty at 236 Dean that we wrote about last week has already been snatched up. From our tipster: “There were 6 bids for 236 Dean in one week and it went for 1.8 in cold cash from a city…
Yowza! Guess the market can’t be that weak. We just got a tip that the brick beauty at 236 Dean that we wrote about last week has already been snatched up. From our tipster: “There were 6 bids for 236 Dean in one week and it went for 1.8 in cold cash from a city buyer.” This should not be a big surprise: We, along with most of the commenters, were quite bullish on this place. We also got some more deets on the condition: “It was rock solid on the inside, though only about 70% completed and with no plumbing.” Very interesting indeed.
ect. Really beautiful though.

Between 3rd and down to the BQE, Atlantic Ave. has really changed, and yes, it is charming.
I was inside this property on the house tour.
Its stunning. Underconstruction yes, but the new owners have a jem.
Charm on Atlantic Avenue? What charm? Smarter development? Okay, shoot. I’m all ears.
Glare? Yes, Manhattan is unbeareable during those bluebird days of summer….
if AY goes up as planned, Atlantic Yards is destined to look like the Holland Tunnel approach road. choking any charm the Avenue currently has.
if smarter development goes up instead, the whole neighborhood will skyrocket.
The Bank is like a big sun dial with the shadow circling around the neighborhood. There’s no oppressive shadow, unless you are right under the building. With six blocks of high-rise buildings, AY will cast a more defined shadow.
Forget about the shadows, i’m more concerned about the glare. Most of the buildings have reflective surfaces. On a bluebird day like to today, the glare could be overwhelming. Sunglasses and sunblock…
i see what you’re saying, but i always thought that was kind of its charm, its singularity. as a longtime admirer of fort greene, i was smitten when i saw they were turning those dentists offices into condos. by being the one tall building in the area, those views are really amazing.
Beautiful building but out of context with the surrounding low rise community.
why is WSBT (one hanson) a past wrong? that’s a beautiful building indeed.
