The Clermont Condominium, the 52-unit project at 375 Myrtle Avenue from BRP Development, is officially open for business. Nothing’s up on the Corcoran site yet, but last week a big banner was unfurled on the corner of the building and the stand-alone website is also accessible (though sans pricing info). The first 14 units to be released include a mix of one- and two-bedrooms as well as one three-bedroom penthouse. According to the site, one of the one-bedrooms is already in contract. This project will hopefully be a nice boost for the Myrtle renaissance that’s already well underway. We’ll be interested to see the prices.

I’m all for walking, but there’s no way its a 5 minute walk to the Lafayette C train. Walk is probably about 3/4 of a mile (maybe slightly less). So you’re looking at about a 15 minute walk, unless you really haul ass
2:55 – i really hate to go here again but how is that possible? i take the c train to penn station and i live literally one block from the train and work one block form penn station. there are days it takes 45 minutes door to door with rush hour train traffic. Add another 20 minutes walking and it makes a difference.
Oh, please. I live here, I go to 50th street all the time. 45 minutes on a bad day, 35, normally. Your choice–but it’s not an hour.
I don’t mind walking but having an hour commute (which it would be for me, I work in mid town) is the issue for me. I’d rather spend that time with my family.
Too far from the subway? I’m gonna second 2:32:
How fat ARE you?
This building is four or five minutes walk closer to the Lafayette C station than my place is, and I walk there in less than 10 minutes. Do you have any idea the ridiculous contortions people go through to commute to Manhattan from, say, central New Jersey? There are people who commute to NYC from fricking PennsylVANia, for God’s sake. Total non-issue. And the BQE is a solid city block away–you won’t hear it, and 90% or the apartments won’t have a view of it. So who cares?
While I wouldn’t want to live directly on Myrtle, and while I’m not interested in newly built condos, a lot of people might be a good fit. It’s great for the hood.
Now, then: Bring on the prices, broker peeps!
I live across the street. It’s a 30 minute commute to Wall Street, not an hour. A 15 minute walk through the park in the mornings to the subway, which is great. Then a 3 stop R train ride to White Hall for 13 minutes. And then a 2 minute walk to the office. Not a bad time at all. (For the anti-walkers, take the b54 bus that runs every 8 minutes during the mornings.)
It’s also 30 minutes to Chinatown if you take the Q ( as it’s one stop.)
1:46- how fat are you??? Having to walk 10 minutes to the subway through a beautiful park is VERY far? not in my book, i do that walk twice a day.
