Condo of the Day: Sophia Lofts
What you’re looking at above is the Sophia Lofts, a Williamsburg warehouse on North 9th that recently hit the market. The condo is named after one Sophia Zablowski, who apparently ran a babka bakery out of the building starting in 1915, according to Apartments & Lofts’ marketing materials.

What you’re looking at above is the Sophia Lofts, a Williamsburg warehouse on North 9th that recently hit the market. The condo is named after one Sophia Zablowski, who apparently ran a babka bakery out of the building starting in 1915, according to Apartments & Lofts’ marketing materials. Like the development’s name, the Sophia’s ad campaign emphasizes Ye Olde Williamsburg: The concept of the newly converted Sophia Lofts grew out of a sheer love of timeless architecture and timeless inspiring life imprints. The timeless building (in our opinion, not the most handsome of warehouses, at least from the outside) is being tricked out with an of-the-moment gut renovation; its 11 units will have exposed brick, timber beams, and high-end appliances. Once you get past the treacly sales spin, in fact, the pricing seems fairly reasonable: Units are ranging from less than $500 a square foot to a touch over $800. Who’s checked them out?

If you check the Corocan website at least 5 of the St. Marks Lofts are still for sale so I am not sure about the story you were told about the C&O problem.
“1 stop or 10 stops it doesn’t matter”
You’re right.
Real Estate has nothing to do with location.

Really? That’s scary! The one I’m talking about is a new construction in the loft style with indoor parking and washer/dryer hookups. It’s on St Marks between Washington and Grand Avenues and is being marketed by Corcoran. I thought the apartments were lovely, though they’re buying a 1br and will have to build a wall to make it a 2br. There are other developments nearby on Washington that I think have weird layouts.

Judging from your spelling, 2:24, not only do I doubt you went to look at them, but doubt you’ve graduated from the 6th grade.

I spoke to the broker at the lofts at St. Marks Place in Prospect Hghts in August and was told it was approx 50% in contract so someone s clearing lieing to one of us.
In any case after seeing them I was turned off. The latout were very weird and teh block was still sketchy for the prices they were asking.

1 stop or 10 stops it doesn’t matter Manhattan and Williamsburg are two different animals and cannot be compared.
Please stop calling each other idiots and stick to objective discussions.
1:44, people do love loft apartments and they are moving.
I have relatives in contract at a loft building on St. Marks in Prospect Heights. If it’s the same building you mention above, nearly all the apartments in are in contract (only two remained when they saw the building in July) but nothing has closed because they are waiting on the C of O.

We’re talking about the idiot who said it’s a 1 bedroom so it couldn’t possibly cost 700K without factoring in the SIZE of the apartment.
lord, you people are ignorant.
Studios in the city (500 square feet) are going for over a million dollars.
A 1300 square foot loft 1 stop from manhattan is a pretty good deal. That was the point.

I thought we were talking about Williamsburg not Manhattan?
