Discussion about The Absolute at 111 Steuben Street in Clinton Hill

about 15 months ago

I am looking at a unit in this building. Anyone have any insight?
Is the neighborhood safe?

My wife and I looked at 1 bedroom apartments in this building in January 2008. The asking price was around 380K for the lower floor units but we were told that the developer was going to raise the asking prices by at least 20K. Prices were indeed increased. But in my opinion the units we visited (although not yet finished at that time) were way overpriced even at 380K.

Does anyone have any new insight on this place? I saw it yesterday and liked it a lot. My biggest concern is the G train, those of you in Clinton Hill, what is your opinion of the train?

I like it, and am considering making an offer; we'll see how flexible the owners are on price and conditions. I would take the bus from outside the building, down Myrtle, to Metrotech and take a train from there.

I am also looking at this building. Has anyone made an offer? Is the asking price negotiable?

They are negotiable, though they apparently have dropped the incentive package they were previously offering. I assume it's because they now have enough signed contracts to go ahead with closings. Before they were paying for your move, giving you parking, and paying the mortgage tax. Having dropped those, I assume they can be more flexible on the asking price. With the incentive package, they said they would go lower than 5% off of asking on the highest floor B-line 1BR apt. Nice building, decent apartment, but I wanted more space in a nicer neighborhood and a more flexible developer. I signed elsewhere.
