A reader inquired about a new modern building at 556 Fifth Avenue in the South Slope. Yes, it stands out from its neighbors both in height—it used to be a single story building, reborn as a five-story, eight-unit building—and aesthetics. Turns out, the building is being marketed with a sister development on 264 Cumberland in Fort Greene as “classic modern“—the name of their campaign, which proposes the building as the melding of Victrolas and iPods (a rendering of the interiors is on the jump). Prices for The Fifth Avenue Modern Park Slope will range from $489,900 to the $950,000 or so.

Puke!
I guess someone got a deal on black brick since Mr. Scarano has had a dip in business as of late.
Complete and utter eyesore, no matter the location.
And I thought The Vue around the corner was ugly!

I miss the cool old market building that was here, but I somehow like this Darth Vaderesque thing.
I like the windows.
Also like the vibe of 5th Avenue down in these parts.
Besides for a few places, it still has a lot of the old school Brooklyn feeling to it.
I like it.
How bout the Dominos right below? I wonder if your place would stink of pizza all the time.
