You did not ask me but I can tell you that this building has become a homeless shelter or halfway house for me as of this month Jan. 20010

I viewed 979 willoughby recently since I am planning a purchase in the Bushwick or Williamsburg area. They have lowered the prices quite a bit by what you have listed here. With the new price and the fact that each includes a garage makes it a pretty sweet deal. They still do not have occupancy as far as I can tell, though.

Why would I pay $668k for radiator heat?????? I am insulted. Put in central air and central heat for this price. The building and apts are ugly. I live on Suydam and saw this going up.

Apparently this building is “delayed, delayed,
delayed” — the developer ran out of money for a bit, and there were “numerous” construction delays. So they haven’t really even been on the market. Now they will really have to slash those prices.

from what i see from the picture, the building fits snugly into the corner of two converging streets. I like it visually in-and outside. Hopefully, it is build to last.

So, does anyone know if any of these have sold, and possibly for how much?

I would encourage buyers to avoid this property. The broker working with the developer was entirely dishonest and I would strongly advise everyone to save themselves time and money by not entertaining an offer or walk through until the property is completed. I had a contract on one of the one bedrooms with mezzanine and I got out of that contract…I think a moderator deleted that line (there was a clause in the contract to allow for that in December because they reported they would be done in October) because they hadn’t completed a satisfactory amount of work over four months…the developer had the gall to call my lawyer and falsely report that he had been given a two month extension on the contract. The central ave. stop on the M is closer than any other train, but any potential buyer wil be jerked around and fed information to keep their money tied up with few if any results.

What Armstrong doing back on this blog? I thought he was gone forever.

The sf does look nice but that’s low if they included the garage space. All those windows lets hope the rocks stay away.

Looks so odd next to the frame house.

Any talk of maintenance and taxes?

In these places you gotta have the right/modern furniture or forget it. Ikea anyone?

The bathroom didn’t wow me and look high end. I’ve seen better with more stainless steel, and much nicer tiles.

The area is pretty good. I love the area near Brooklyn Natural and the Morgan stop so remote and cool.
