Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. 730 Fulton, a corner property in the Ratner-created Atlantic Commons townhouse complex, came on the market last August at $1.5 million. Our take, which was largely echoed by the readership (except for the surprising number of owners of other houses in the Commons who for some reason thought the price sounded just right), was that this was a ridiculous stretch. So three months later, the price was cut to $1.4 million. Still no takers. Now the price has been trimmed to $1.375 million and we’ll reiterate our stance that this baby still has a long way to go. All we can guess is that the current owner is in no particular rush to sell and is taking the attitude that all it takes is one fool to make his day. We also hear that the owner dumped a lot of dough into customizing the interior that he thinks he should get paid for. As is usually the case, this is unlikely to happen in our opinion. At $1.1 million, we say, he might start seeing some interest. More than that? Not bloody likely.
