New Development: The Absolute Launching on Myrtle

The 35-unit development at 111 Steuben Street, hereafter to be known as The Absolute, is open for business. Or at least it will be soon. A large banner proclaims the condo’s new name and it now has a page on the TDG website. There are no prices listed yet, but we’ve got it on good authority that prices for the mix of one-, two- and three-bedrooms will range from about $380,000 to over $1 million. We think this is a pretty good looking building, especially for an area that’s seen its share of crap recently. How ’bout you?

I went to Pratt I would not want to live across from it
I live down the street from this building and I thought it was a Pratt ‘thing’…i just think that it is out of line with the neighborhood…but then again I am not sure anyone in the neighborhood is expected to by such a place. As far as transportation I don’t think it is anymore difficult then living in DUMBO, CGarden, or some other areas of brwnstone brooklyn. The transportation has not stopped folks from moving into the neighborhood and the 38 bus seems to be doing brisk business as the locals make their way to the Q,N,R,W or the 4,5,2,3 train lines.
Other than the metal panels, it looks a helluva lot like OPP. Same green glass set in frames. Same exposed white columns.
i don’t think it looks bad. everybody is so critical. i think the atrocities going upon 80 dekalb, and myrtle and flatbush are so much more uglier and despicable than this.
the only thing i don’t get is, how do you walk around your house naked when everything is made of glass?
also, who is quest? and why does he/she have to post 29 times on the particular building comments list?
Who freaking cares what a Mies or a Corbu would think about these things?
Curious why developers use The developers group, they lost like 4 buildings in the last few weeks to other brokers because they obviously don’t know the market and they can’t sell anything. That building on Spencer hasn’t sold ONE unit! They are synonymous with crap!
No comment on the building itself, but we’re about to leave the area. We live on Waverly and Park, and the lack of public transportation is just too much. Four years of riding the bus to York or Jay Street was enough.
This is a piece of shit. Shame on whatever stoned out of his head architect designed this. Were you channeling Gordon Bunshaft?
You got a bad connection.
This is to pre-war apartment buildings what plastic plates are to Limosges.
This is a disposable building.
