Columbia Commons Hits the Market
Earlier this month we reported that the affordable rental portion of 414 Hicks was open for business.

Earlier this month we reported that the affordable rental portion of 414 Hicks was open for business. Now, as you may have noticed from the banner ad that popped up in these parts last week, the market-rate condo portion is also on the market. Christened Columbia Commons, the 48-unit piece of the building is asking in the high-$600s per foot. The four listings on the Halstead site range from $409,000 for a 609-square-foot one-bedroom to $905,000 for a 1,333-square-foot three-bedroom. We snapped the photo above on a bike ride last week, but Curbed posted a slide show yesterday with a bunch of interior shots. GMAP
the rich often live with working class in same apt.—their maids, nannies.
And many of them let some ne’er-do-well relative stay for long periods too.
“if i was rich that i wouldnt want working class neighbors” – but a lot of rich have working class living right in same apt with them….live-in staff, and/or ne’er-do-well relative. Sometimes even a trophy wife.

hahahaa heather, i was thinking the same thing. and dave, youre probably right about the new rich bringing more drama than the working poor.. actually, now that im picturing this scenario, i think youre totally right.

I can’t believe there are this many responses already and yet no one has made a snarky comment about the building’s use of pinkish brick and ac/heating through the wall units.
Frankly rob, working class people come with less drama than the nouveau riche. It is only the super wealthy that don’t air their drama publicly.

Complete segregation by income level is not really desirable
for the uber wealthy, it sure is. obviously this building is not even designed for the extremely rich, so all of your points are well taken. however in my eyes a million dollar apartment is, well, a million dollar apartment and that seems crazy rich to me, but i guess in reality it’s not that much? eh, i dont know. i think if i was rich that i wouldnt want working class neighbors, especially within the building itself. they come with a lot of drama you know!

“Considering the median income for that neighborhood is about $65,000 I guess they’re all trash.”
I hear ya NYGuy – ‘organic’ economic diversity in neighborhoods is great – but there’s just something about these affordable rentals that developers get tax breaks for that just rubs me (and alot of other people) the wrong way.
Wow, I guess people who don’t make 6 figure incomes like the rest of you all do who rent are trash. Nice to know how you really feel. Considering the median income for that neighborhood is about $65,000 I guess they’re all trash.
