Today’s new condo reports focuses on a development that has been profiled on Brownstoner before. Located on a busy commercial stretch of Myrtle Avenue between Clermont and Adelphi, lies this unique 4 story building. Featuring angled windows to take advantage of light and outdoor spaces, this new construction attempts to set itself apart from the others.

The site consists of one commercial condo and three large floor-thru duplex condominium units. The ground floor commercial unit measures in at just under 2000 square feet for $994K, while the other three units are 1533-1688 square feet and cost $877K, $890K and $919K. The residential units have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Maintenance is about $260 a month.

Units feature 17 foot high ceilings, large gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, en-suite bathrooms, spacious closets and laundry hook-ups. This condo is located close to many amenities, like supermarkets, restaurants, bars and hardware stores. But as last week’s two shootings attest, the area still contains some rough spots. An open house is scheduled March 26 from 12:30 to 3:30pm.

Every Thursday, ltjbukem, whose own blog Set Speed scrutinizes the progress and quality of new developments in the area we know as Brownstone Brooklyn, pens a guest post about goings-on in the condo market with an emphasis on new projects.

  1. And who was there before the dutch…the indians??? ltjbukem, why does your history of the area stop with the dutch. If anyone needs to ‘re-claim’ or ‘re-take’ the area, I would say that it’s the native american indians. But you don’t see or hear any of them going around with bravado talking about displacing the people who are presently living in the community. This gentrification thing will get along fine without comments and attitudes like those.

  2. I’m with anonymous 10:00- and I have seen it from both sides. But Anon is right- it seems everytime there is a discussion on gentrification, the same people- or new ones- always bring up the “bad tenant” issue, and some have even gone so far as to claim that 50% are scamming (although they also admit they have no proof other than their own opinion). Sarah is a prime example of the attitude that gets a backlash. Oh poor you! Some one made a comment.Time to whine. How about remembering your Black landlady and Black realtor who helped you get your place? WHy insult them by pointing out problems of some tenants or an “oldtimer?” What have you ever done to win the goodwill of the locals in your neighborhood? Your feelings were hurt, so the first thing you do is whine about reverse discrimination while trotting out whatever bad story you can remember. All that says is you are prejudiced because there are far more people like the realtor and landlady who work hard and maintain their homes who you don’t mention.

    You reap what you sow.

    By the way- Before the Dutch, the land was inhabited by Native AMericans (not to mention the entire country). ANd the fact of the matter is that when one black family moved into a white neighborhood it set off a white flight. I’ve seen it. However if you want to read about what white people of principle were willing to do, get a copy of the Sunday Times and read about the integration of an apartment complex in Brooklyn. Too bad that story wasn’t repeated all over the city.
