Wolcott "Piece o' Crap" Still On Market
We were interested (but not surprised) to see that no one has touched the two spec houses on Wolcott across from the Red Hook Houses since we last went by in September. With the market softening, we suspect a lot of this crap is just going to wither on the vine. No Takers For Red…

No Takers For Red Hook Piece o’ Crap [Brownstoner] GMAP
these developers make me sick. they are so clearly clueless about the neighborhoods theyve built these shitboxes in and so clueless about who is trying to buy into these neighborhoods that theyve ruined so many great opportunities to build condos that would move in a second. who wouldnt buy a nice condo for 275k to live in while they wait for their perfect brownstone to open up etc. i looked at a couple of these, because my family tends to go for new construction, and was appalled at the size of the rooms that they chop up so they can call it more ‘bedrooms’. what BS.
This architect should be labeled an enemy combatant.
cee — calm yerself down, yo
Cee – methinks thou doth protest too much and with such bad grammar, but behind that I think you are a troll!!!!
If you rich people would just move back up where y’all came from then these buildings wouldn’t exist. It’s cos of your types who move into our neighbourhoods that the prices soo freaking sky hight that the avg. man/woman/family can’t afford to live here anymore. Then you have the guts to omplain about some “poorish people” buying fugly new houses? what did you think would happen? You would move into the TRi and these develops you left behind in Manhattan wouldn’t follow? Oh am sorry, i forgot!!! It’s only stupid upper middle class people that deserve to live in beautiful old historic houses.
Gawd, I hate how your types have destroyed the flavor that was TRI. Just go back to your nice big lofts and freaking expensive cramped quaters in manhattan. At least then we knew who was who.
Idiots!!!
Sadly, one of these mostrocities on my block in Bushwick actually sold. I was dumbstruck. Asking was 799 and hoping to find out how much it really went for. There are dozens in my general area which are still rotting like the corpsemeat they were meant to be. All hideous, all overpriced.
What is the incentive for builders to even build these ugly, badly constructed, things in the first place? Why build something that appeals to only 5% of qualified buyers? Whatever bank these builders are getting their money from, should get a clue and stop funding them. It’s a bad investment for these banks. I don’t understand the logic or reasoning for any of the participants in these buildings.
sorry about the typos in my above post, i’m nauseated and not able to type accurately.
what’s up with those dimunitive gables on the roof. is it a contest to see how low the architects(undoubtedly strung out on meth)can go? they’re nightmares. i’m glad to see most consumers are intelligent enough to pass them by.
these are truly grotesque, and demonstrate that their is no standard for design in NYC.
