Half a year after Curbed predicted it, the first rental listings at the Viridian have hit the market. StreetEasy shows 28 units ranging in price from $2,155 for a 662-square-foot one-bedroom to $4,822 for a 1,267-square-foot three-bedroom. The development’s original website still show a few orphaned listings for sale.

  1. This really isn’t really in that much of a ‘middle of nowhere’ location as everyone thinks.

    it’s a 12 minute walk to the 1st stop of the 7 Train in Long Island City, and there are plenty of bars, restaurants, places to shop on Manhattan Ave.

    That being said – the prices are bonkers. $2,100 for a one bedroom? The whole appeal of Northern Greenpoint is that it’s still cheap. Even though I like it up there, I can’t see someone spending 2,100 to live there when there is stuff priced similar further south.

  2. > I guess some people will pay extra to be within 6 blocks of the G train.

    Not to mention three blocks from the sewage treatment plant.

    ’Tis an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

  3. That will make one awesome youth hostel. complete idiots. There is no reason whatsoever to live over in the middle of nowhere for that much dough. Good job, developers.

    Oh, and when I first saw the picture I thought this was that other wtf development on Spencer in Bed Stuy. Just drove by the other day and my reaction was: pure wtf. Why?

  4. These apartments will sit and sit at those prices. Talking to many brokers while recently doing our own apartment search in Greenpoint the word is that most places priced above 2k are just sitting w/ no interest, while most inventory is moving in the sub $1600 range.
    When we came along w/ our $2100 budget the brokers were practically all over themselves to show us apartments. There is a lot of crap in Greenpoint though- railroad apts chopped up into 2-3 “bedrooms” and terrible renos. There is a real lack of quality family size apartments in the area.
    But at those prices- lol.
