390 Wythe, a former candy factory at South 4th Street in Williamsburg that’s being converted into 69 rental units, will hit the market this January. According to a press release, prices will begin at $2,000 a month for a 450-square-foot studio. There will also be one-bedroom apartments and six two-bedroom corner apartments. The building will feature a part-time doorman, bicycle storage, on-site parking, and a roof deck. You can see the rendering on the jump. What do you think? GMAP

  1. Goddamn that a rip off.
    I pay 2100 for an 800sqft 2br on N6th with a deck. (Which I think is overpriced as well)
    It’s not brand new and I don’t have Bosch appliances, but I’ll be damned to pay $2k for 450sqft.
    Rent is too damn high!

  2. Oops – the scrap metal place across the street is NOT the site of a rezoning action. The rezoning I was mentioned earlier is for the block to the north (the Rockyard/Police Cars ‘r’ Us lot and adjacent properties).

    But the scrap metal place is already zoned for residential use (mixed M & R, technically), so it can be developed at any time.

  3. in the 90’s I lived around the corner from this place. At that time this building had a dry cleaners in it (the actual cleaners, not a storefront.) The bridge is like a giant white-noise machine – great for sleeping.

  4. haha – forgot about the bridge WBer. One would assume they would put in soundproof windows, but you can never be sure. i saw a rental at 809 driggs a while back and the train noise was VERY loud.

  5. 400 square feet in Williamsburg next to the bridge?

    “$2,000.”

    1100 square feet in Prospect Height’s gold coast with a door man?

    “$2,500.”

    Somehow that seems extremely wrong.

  6. The noisy active scrap metal plant is being rezoned for residential/retail (its coming before the CB tonight, in fact).

    Don’t know about the Woods, but forgot the super noisy subway train that runs about 100′ from the penthouse. And trucks, cars, motorcycles, scooters, etc. Not to mention all the bicyclists on the bridge with their bells.

    The addition is tumorous. What’s funny is that it is more visible from the street than from the rendering, which looks to be taken from the vantage point of someone floating 5 stories in the air. It’s too bad, because this is an absolutely wonderful building and it could have had a really nice addition instead of a stucco blob.

    I’d also love to see the zoning calcs on this one – that is a lot of floor are up top for a building that was already overbuilt on FAR. A lot of mechanical deductions, I assume.
