Condos of the Day: 480 Eastern Parkway
Henry Radusky has been doing his part to uglify Crown Heights with the recent completion of an eight-unit condo at 480 Eastern Parkway. (At least the facade lines up with its neighbor though.) Based upon a sign hanging on the building (there’s nothing posted yet on the Developers Group website), the two- and three-bedroom apartments…

Based upon a sign hanging on the building (there’s nothing posted yet on the Developers Group website), the two- and three-bedroom apartments start at $525,000. That’s about all we know. Has anyone been inside yet?

ya know it is possible to love brownstones (see my handle — geddit?) and love new architecture too. problem being, this ain’t architecture. these are the slums of tomorrow. so badly constructed and finished as to guarantee a bad investment for the owner and a bad living experience for the resident. what a lose-lose. and what a shame, when new construction methods should be resulting in better quality, less costly buildings — not this shite.
Actually we should all be very concerned about cheap bad construction in all these new condo buildings, whether we choose to buy in them or not. I’m hearing terrible things about the buildings more and more, like leaks and problems, and if that becomes such a big issue everwhere, so much so that it slows sales in new condo developments, it could affect the real estate market here. Just like the crappy construction in the suburbs did, for Florida and San Diego. Thanks DOB for cracking down on people building decks in their backyards, but allowing plenty developers build crappy buildings! That said, I don’t think the exterior is as bad as some.
Eastern Parkway sucks.
a cornice would help the building look less sucky.
There is a site about cheap building. It’s called Brownstoner.
Seroiusly, there are many sites about affordable housing. Google.
re anon 5:03’s comment: “There must be sites about cheap housing you might enjoy somewhere else.”
Do you know of any? If so, plz post. I would love to see them.
