The Clermont Reborn As Rentals

The 52-unit new development at 375 Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene known as The Clermont has had a tough go of it. Between opening for business last February and throwing in the towel last month, not a single unit just eights units went into contract. For reasons beyond us, the developers then tossed Corcoran over the side and went with an outfit called Ideal Properties to rent the place. There is a new website up but it doesn’t have pricing info, so we went straight to the source. So far, they’ve only released six units: two one-bedrooms priced at $2,100 and $2,200; three two-bedrooms ranging from $2,800 to $3,500 and one three-bedroom for $3,650.

Apparently, none of the apts ever went into contract, let alone sold. And my brother confirmed this. Everyone living in the building rents their apt.
anon718 – decide which: you checked out apartments @ clermont yourself, or you had your “acquaintances” do it… seems to me like a load of bull on both counts.
First you say: “We checked out the apts a couple of evenings ago since we’re in the market to rent in the area…” then you go on to claim that you “have acquaintenances that ended up renting and our also having second thoughts..”
are you really, really sure you’re not corcoran? i honestly doubt it.
did i mention my brother’s apartment was beautiful? and a great deal compared to anything in the building’s vicinity? fifth floor, great views, gym, loads of windows, even his own parking spot! and you should see the appliances! this building was definitely built for sales originally – and he gets to rent it for a lot less than a mortgage would have cost him!
and my brother said they were told by the building’s management that NONE of the apartments were sold. one was in contract, and the buyer backed out.

annon718, you sure you have acquaintances who rented in the building? my brother rented here; they got their lease on time; and they were told there were only 8 apartments READY FOR OCCUPANCY (not as you were informed 8 vacancies) for nov 1.
maybe you should all double-check your sources (that is if you’re not all in fact corcoran brokers) before you make a jump at the keyboard?

Hey no fair. Corcoran was there for me when I bought my place — let’s see, my broker was there for me when she sent me listings like 3 times over the course of 5 months and then she was there again at closing to pick up the check for her points on the deal.
spoons99 we have acquaintenances that ended up renting and our also having second thoughts. same thing – no lease and told them that there were only 8 vacancies. keep me posted on what you decide and i’ll be happy to put you in touch with them.
as for softlayer1’s comment, the whole point of my post was to say i mistrust brokers – whether they be cocoran or any other.
