The marketers behind a new Williamsburg condo called Greenbelt are really pushing the condo’s eco- and artist-friendly features. The Greenbelt team says the eight-unit building 361 Manhattan Avenue is expected to receive an LEED Gold rating and save around 46 percent of a standard building’s energy costs (its many green bells and whistles include a solar energy collector on the roof and a passive heat recovery system). The building is also going to have a 4,000-square-foot, nonprofit performing arts center on the ground floor. So it’s definitely got great credentials—but will it sell? The units are mostly two-bedrooms; the single, 710-square-foot top-floor one-bedroom is going for $599,000, while the two-bedrooms topping 1,000 square feet are going for between $759,000 and $815,000. The healthy sales at the green condo in the South Slope, 515 Fifth Avenue, certainly indicate that the market is receptive to eco-friendly builds—we’ll find out if that’s true in the Burg, too.

I agree: NOT artist friendly.
Artist friendly is enough square footage for dedicated studio space, good natural light, and low rent.
I also hear great things about 475 Stearling Condo’s —->
Could it be mere coincidence that there is an ads for 515 Fifth Avenue on this very website where it is favorably mentioned?

Its coincidence. Ads here are on many pages.
Seriously, I love a good conspiracy theory. This ain’t one.

2 late 2 do well.
location is decent (graham is finally getting decent food) but i’d be surprised if this does well. there are new condos not to far away that seem to be sitting/not being finished.
what a surprise – narrow living rooms that feel horrible and claustrophobic. God forbid we don’t have huge bedrooms with ensuite baths and walk in closets – MUCH more important than decently sized common spaces.
a 600K 1 BR apartment is not “artist friendly”.
I’m just sayin’…
