wburgbank0501.jpgLooks like the expansive hors d’oeuvres spread at the open house that the developers of One Hanson Place threw for brokers a couple of weeks back gave the sales effort that extra push it needed. (Or maybe it was the wool-knit cap lead Corco broker Adam Pacelli was sporting.) Either way, we just learned it was enough to push the 189-unit development over the 50% sold milestone. The renewed momentum is welcome news, we’re sure, after a very slow 4th quarter last year. We were able to pop our heads into the open house to see a finished two-bedroom and gotta say it looked pretty nice. What we really want to know, though, is who’s gonna step up for that 4-story penthouse in the tower when it hits the market. Can’t imagine what the price tag on that baby will be.

  1. I’m curious about when these apartments are going to be ready. Looking from below
    I see the 9th floor on its way to being completed. I’m really excited to move in. Will send my kids to the terrace at the top for their education. Why go to school when you can see far and beyond from the top of One Hanson. Yay!

  2. are there any real people here? i’m seriously considering buying a 1BR in hanson as an investment. i’d live in it for 3-5 yrs probably and then want it as an investment property. can anyone shed some light on the comment from Anonymous at May 3, 2007 10:02 AM?if so, please email me at fatasianbaby@gmail.com. i’m serious.

    Borders lost a TON of money this past quarter. They reported a few days ago. Seems reasonable that they would pull out of an expensive location like One Hanson and instead look to raise the profitability of their existing stores.

  4. I agree about the poor marketing.. Just found out Borders pulled out due to “Corporate Restructuring” I would love a Dean and Deluca or Whole Foods.

  5. Also purchased a lower floor one BR D line. I believe in the building. And I happen to be a broker! But I am buying to live-in. Also do think it is excellent long term investment. The building is A+ — neighborhood is on the up and up. Awesome master bathrooms, kitchens are yawn but ok (too big!). I was told that Dean & Deluca is moving in to the bank’s landmarked 7 story space to be Bklyn’s flagship store with seattle’s best coffee too. That’s a great amenity! The building is not marketing itself well I think. “Brownstone living with view” hardly like a brownstone! rumor is they are building garage for cars, but very unlikely. over all historic pre war highrises make excellent long term investments.
