Yesterday a reader spotted the scaffolding coming down at the Prospect Lefferts Gardens condo at 185 Ocean Avenue, and it turns out that units in the building officially hit the market last week, according to StreetEasy records. Prices for the units that have been listed so far go from $335,000 for a 614-square-foot studio to $575,000 for an 877-square-foot two bedroom. When plans for the building were revealed a few years ago, they served as a catalyst for the campaign to landmark neighboring townhouses, and the Ocean on the Park historic district was designated in 2009. There was some community outcry earlier this year when it appeared that the developer had appropriated the name of the historic district for the condo, but the listings that are now live indicate that the address, 185 Ocean Avenue, is being used as the building’s name. Still, the historic district continues to be invoked in the building’s marketing; the ads say the following: “Modern luxury comes to a prime historic location!”

It is about time. I am always amazed how long it takes to get these projects done. I know that there are a million different reasons for the delays, but every one of theses slow sites causes a lot of grief for their neighbors. We should celebrate when one is finally done.
