The Edge may still be holding out on cutting prices, but the massive Williamsburg development is finding other, more creative, ways to try to attract buyers, according to Curbed. Condo hunters are now invited to use the Edge’s handy 70-item checklist of amenities and features to compare the waterfront project with other competing developments. Sustainably harvested floors and kitchen cabs? Check. Plunge pool with waterfall? Check. Bosch Cooktop and wall oven? Bien sur. (See the entire list here.) What’s more, in a show of bravado, The Edge is offering potential buyers a free car service ride to the competition as long as they visit The Edge first.

  1. True M4L – but they’ll def go rental before they do a firesale. Apparently there’s no shortage of people willing to rent 2,600 1 bedrooms on the northside (from my recent experiences)

  2. DH, in general, I would agree with you on those prices 11217 quoted. but to say no transactions clear at those prices, don’t be too confident. true distressed short sales could yield a 1 bdrm at 300k. take the scenario where initial buyers need to have 50%+ down, all-cash buyers, etc, you’ll see some crazy prices. right now, many sellers hoping they’ll get some of the fat wall st bonus coming their way. when it doesn’t come, one can imagine what prices come to mkt

  3. DH, it wouldn’t even surprise me.

    Don’t get me wrong, pride of one’s neighborhood is admirable but even I think there are crap things about Park Slope, and feel like I know how to be objective when reviewing things about it.

    Wine lover is totally and completely incapable of saying anything but 100% positive things about each and every thing that passes this blog if it pertains to Williamsburg. We could have a post about a crime spree on Bedford and somehow he would spin it to be a good thing for the neighborhood.

    It’s just silly.

  4. The comment about the industrial wasteland was not ‘satirical’ — it was an error on my part (and Brownstoner)

    The Google Map link goes to 150 Kent, which is between N 13th and N 14th…. next to the Bushwick Inlet and those lovely chemical tanks…. and all industrial/commercial.

    North 6th is nicer. But it still is Williamsburg 🙂
