The Argyle Follows 4th Avenue Pricing Pattern
Our friends at Streeteasy just tipped us off to the fact prices for units at 7th Street’s Argyle Park Slope (a Brownstoner advertiser) have just been posted online.

Our friends at Streeteasy just tipped us off to the fact prices for units at 7th Street’s Argyle Park Slope (a Brownstoner advertiser) have just been posted online. Coming in at about $650 to $800 per square foot, the asking prices are roughly in line with some of the development’s neighbors like the Novo and Crest. We’re hoping the overall look of the place will be a cut above its 4th Avenue competition though—the world certainly doesn’t need another “big brown turd.” How do you think these prices are gonna fly?

Using 5th Avenue to Sell 4th [Brownstoner]
A tire-change shop would be more in line with the current buildings. You want a nice tire-change shop?
2:52: I live there. I’d like to see buildings that are a little more in line with the current buildings, not some glass-and-metal monstrosity towering over everything. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
“Something beautiful” would be fine, but can you honestly say that building is beautiful? I can’t.
Whole Foods should have bought the Staples site.
2:18 — You think it’s ugly, fine. But “doesn’t fit the neighborhood”? What would “fit” the present 4th Avenue? Something beautiful would stick out like a sore thumb.
What do you want?
I understand people who say they wouldn’t want to live on 4th Avenue as it is… what I don’t get are the people who wouldn’t want to live there, and yet don’t want it to change, either.
maybe whole foods will cram themselves into the bodega (since their current, toxic site will remain forever toxic….)!!
“The owner is asking $2.2 million”
Did that include the payouts to get rid of the existing tenants?
You can all it Park Slope, but anyone who wants Park Slope ambience will not be intersted. Borderline neighborhoods like this are hardest hit in a downturn. you are most likely able to pick up something in one of these buidlings at a very deep discount! It will takwe the end of another r/e uptunr (11 year cycles?) before these are really mainstream.
2:13: We went through that house (the blue one they painted to white, right?) when they had an open house. The owner is asking $2.2 million, developers wouldn’t pay. Hence the paint.
So, everybody complaining about the complainers, what would you suggest? We’re all just supposed to praise the Argyle and go on and on about how great it is?
Sorry, no. It’s ugly. Doesn’t fit the neighborhood. (I don’t care if you think the neighborhood is ugly or not.) And overpriced, in my opinion.
