Sales have officially started at The Isabella at 545 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill but there’s still not much information on the development’s website. Just this (in flash player mode): “63 perfectly suited homes. 20 minutes to Manhattan. On-site rental parking. Walk down to Prospect Park. Fitness Center. Common roof deck. Fresh Direct at your service. Eligible for 421-A tax abatement. Opening late spring. Life deserved.” (Late Spring? Better get on that.) Listings on StreetEasy range from $285,000 for a 465-square-foot studio to $980,000 for a 1,656-square-foot three-bedroom. And the press release sent to us added: “All of the residences will feature ceiling heights up to nine feet, floor-to-ceiling windows, part time doorman, 24-hour virtual doorman, video intercom security systems, and hardwood floors, as well as access to a residents’ only rooftop and fitness center. Select homes will offer private outdoor space and radiant floor heating … Open kitchens will be outfitted with white-glass tile backsplash, Grey Oak cabinetry Energy-Star Bosch appliances, and stainless steel finishes by Kohler. Spacious bathrooms tout porcelain tiles, Wenge finish vanities, Kohler showers and vanities, and Toto toilets.” How do you think it will sell?

  1. A hospital adorned with Ikea furniture. No thanks. Architecturally, developers should really start paying respect to designing an interesting interior. Otherwise, they will never distinguish themselves from the next guy.

    And, this Toto toilet…. i’m trusting all of your words that this Toto is totorific and will wow anyone who visits with its splendiferousness.

  2. Obviously someone looked at a map and decided that it was a walk “down” (i.e. south) to Prospect Park. I live nearby and we are more inclined to walk “over” to Fort Greene Park, as the streetscape is prettier on the way. But unless you are really decrepit either walk is very do-able and pleasant. It will be interesting to see what pressures developments like these and the ones “down” in Prospect Heights make on that section of Atlantic. Right now it is really a highway (and a useful one at that) – perhaps we will see an arborized Grand Boulevard in the future? In acny case when occupied this building will bring much needed positive energy to the Fulton Street corridor. Welcome.
