$1900: Big, beautiful, modern loft in a great location. Everything is new but attractive, nice light even for being on the ground floor. Odd layout but well-done.

$1850: Gorgeous. Huge windows, beautiful old wood floors, high tin ceilings, central air, decent new kitchen/bath. Yes, the Opera House is known as an off campus dorm but it’s still a good product.

$5500: 5000 square feet means this is a hair over $1/sqft — that’s good. I assume this is a commercial and long-term lease, and if you have some savings (after the certianly whopping deposit on this place) you could probably build out a few apartments inside it and be a landlord yourself.

$1900: It says “raw” but then mentions all the new kitchens and baths and bedrooms, so you’ll have to see what the deal is yourself. Either way, good location and probably a good price, and great windows!

I’ve been living in the Knickerbocker and Harrison building since November. Still no (working) freight elevator, still no intercom and the shutters to the roof have been locked (we’re thinking about picking them since it will be warming up soon). I believe all of the spaces which could comfortably fit 4 people have been taken. Everything else in the ad is true. extremely close to the subway, nice views, good area.

That Knickerbocker ad is mine! Anyway, there are still a few lofts left that would fit four people comfortably. People who like lofts and would like to move should come see them! They are nice.

I went to check out these lofts and they sort of seemed like another example of the hasids throwing up some plaster and cheap construction to take advantage of the young people in the market for these types of places. They were all way too small for the asking prices.

that first loft was definitely going for $1500 six months ago. i walk past it every day, it is definitely waaaay too small to be going for $1900 the way it is laid out.
