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]
I’ve noticed the for sale sign on the building next store. I imagine it must contain rent stabilized tenants who refuse to be bought out, otherwise wouldn’t the Argyle developers have bought it as well, not to mention the shady bodega building on the corner? Seems the likely explanation for the weird L shape.
If the bodega owner goes out of buisness (even if his rent goes up then he is simply a bad merchant.
A massive increase in the numbers of immediate local residents (what 10-20x?) as well as probably an equal increase in median income should make the bodega a very profitable grocer…
unless
merchant is like many who will invest nothing in his store and will not improve the inventory or cleanliness to attract new customers and instead spend his days bemoaning change, rising rents and the good old days when it you could make a buck converting food stamps into cash, selling cheap beer and malt liquor and selling untaxed cigarettes
1:42 — Does the bodega owner own the building?
If not, hmmm… yuppies buying condos at $700/sf next door… new gigantic buildings going up for blocks and blocks around… hey, that lease is up, isn’t it?… hmm think think think $ $ $…
Vaya con dios, senor bodegabodega!
There is no reason to believe that in two years time, the bodega will be gone, and there WILL be some sortof nice Greengrocer there.
Are you all this stupid…really???
actually, 12:19, i believe they’re depicting that disgusting bodega as some sort of balducci’s-style greengrocer. check the carefully arranged produce on display. also note that the green awning stretches to encompass the four story apt. building next door (which is for sale, incidentally).
1:19 – because people
1. Are often scared of change
2. Are often envious of
a-things they can’t afford
b-other people making a profit on an opportunity they missed
3. often just like to complain
4. are often short-sited and have limited understanding of economics
i’ll add on to 1:24
also hatred from browstone/touwnhouse owners who now have to live amongst and share their precious 321 school with people “beneath them” who will live in these “unsightly” buildings
1.19;
I’m with you. Many of these 4th Ave posts have become so tedious, let by Brownstoner himself. Apparently Brownstoner believes that it’s a disgrace that every development going up on 4th Ave isn’t an architectural masterpiece. Hey Brownstoner: take a look at the multitude of glazed white brick buildings built in Manhattan during the 60’s. While none of these will ever be considered a masterpiece, their presence has not impaired the development of that borough. Knock it off already about 4th Ave. If you don’t like the developments, don’t buy into them. Others will choose differently.

12:31,
Your link is not evidence of a slowdown. In fact, the bottom of the post insinuates that the 4th Avenue takeoff might take longer, not that is has run its course.
This reminds me of Norman Oder, who often uses his own previous posts to “prove” his claims.
