Why are so many people in love with this building? I took a look at several units recently and I left the viewing disappointed. The lobby and old-world charm of the building were fabulous but the units themselves were unimpressive. Because this building was converted from an office, the layout of the units are not ideal (bedrooms without windows, dead space, etc). Also, I know the building is “green” but the finish and fixtures were not up to par with other new units. There will be several new developments going up within a 2-3 block radius of Belltel within the next several years and once they are up and running, the rate of price increase in Belltel will surely lag the others.
Is anyone looking to rent their unit at belltel?
I viewed a few of the apts at Belltel and was very impressed with the finished and the space. My one concern is the neighborhood. There isn’t much of one. One of the great things about Brooklyn are the neighborhoods but this doesn’t give you that. Furthermore I keep hearing about all of the money that the city is pouring into the MetroTech area and how there will be renovations. Is that true? Are people seeing the changes already? Please let me know your thoughts
I don’t mind GE, its too big and depth is 5 inch more and the sides are not stainless steel
My GE frig at Belltel is in and its great!
CORRECTION: On the weekends there are 3 times slots to move in at Belltel and week days after 4
I am trying to close soon in 2-3 weeks. I love the building and location as well. I was wondering what are the owner experiences with refrigerator. Since the kitchen is designed around smaller Fisher Pykel (happened to be not “energy star” as a requirement for tax abatement) and GE fridge substituition is much bigger in depth by 5-7 inch. Where you able to get another “energy rated” that fits well or changed the kichen panels around? Thanks
There continue to be closing problems associated with the bldg. There were several closings cancelled last week and Rosen & Livingston, the sponsor’s attorney, are extremely difficult to work with. It’s impossible to get them to return calls and the sales staff is useless.
our condo building had a blog. now we have a yahoo group. i really really enjoy meeting my neighbors and have made some great friends since moving in a year ago. think that other buildings would benefit from doing the same.
we too had problems, but by working together, we are about to finish a major waterproofing that we got the sponsor to pay for. and, all other issues have been addressed and fixed.
if you pick new construction, you have to be prepared to work on things, and have an open mind about your neighbors.
everyone is thrilled with our building now i think.
