One Hanson Price Cut: Small But Significant?

$12,000 off!!!!! Let me run down there and make an offer. Newsworthy? Are you serious? It is not even worth changing the website for that much. Call me when it drops $120,000. Then they might have some bites. Less than 1% price reduction is not a reduction. The transfer taxes are more than that. People are crazy.

Can a bed fit in a 8'-6" wide bedroom?

There are no residential floors below 9. 8 is the laundry and common areas and the bank floor ceiling goes up the other 7 floors.

12:34, the thing is new developments almost never lower prices. That's why this would be newsworthy. It indicates that a buyer might be able to get even more discounted from the price possibly, if the developers appear motivated to sell thus willing to negotiate.

Secondly, the searches in the NYT and elsewhere have specific price ranges in which buyers can search for listings, so lowering the price even a little can put a property in a different category that allows more buyers to see it.

356,000 for a 366 sq. ft. studio in hanson place. say what? no question the building and the location is superlative but that's revolting. maybe i'm just bitter that i went majored in journalism and not big pimpin' studies...

Blame it on Ratner I think. Who wants to live near a big messy construction pit for years and then look forward to massive crowds, and even worse traffic just outside your door. Oh and let's not forget the neon signs that will be skyhigh facing 1 Hanson Place too. Thanks Uncle Bruce and Class Clown Markowitz. I'm surprised all the other developer goons don't work harder on taking down Ratner. But I guess they are happy nobody bothers them with their sh*t.

Blame it on Ratners development. Word has it even though Corcoran is marketing this project, their agents are not allowed to bring clients here, they must direct them to the sales office. This is a beautiful building and could have been a great conversion, but taking the amazing bank lobby and turning it into a Borders and more importantly, building the ratner place next door taht will block light cast shadows and bring numbers of drunken sports fan and concert goers to the hood several times a week does not help.
