new central harlem prewar conversion

errr, can we see some real pics, not some weird computer-genereated fake-outside-view ones? Those really creep me out...
well done, but creepy. The floorplan is nice....don't have an opinion on the price ;-)

ach, those silly artificial renderings are oh-so-common. but since they probably didn't have any completed units when they put up the site, i'd guess they didn't really have a choice. pretty common. it's interesting because it's a pre-war conversion, with apartments that seem to be of interesting proportions, that has priced its units very low from the start.

it's not my favorite area of central harlem by far, but it is close to the park, and the prices are very low psf for an opening position.

oh goodness, just read that this will be completed by 2015...hehe, I might have saved enough by then...

ach, you must have the wrong development. this is a conversion. not a new construction development.

so, you are mistaken.

AR -- I seriously considered this, until I googled and discovered that the developer is TPE and that the denizens of 1845 and 1851 are up in arms with the gentrification and only some % of the apts are being converted into these condos -- the rest will remain subsidized rentals. To their credit, TPE has improved the conditions rel to the previous slumlord. However, they used this to justify why they needed to convert to these condos.
Not sure this is a wise buy decision
The location is not the best either despite being right at the Park

joedavis - that would certainly be a red flag for a lot of prospective purchasers, if they even knew about it. For those just looking at the website, it' interesting that there are no room dimensions given, which also sends up red flags.

There's a long way to go before we have any idea what this "conversion" will really look like. I wouldn't touch a pre conversion these days. Good luck selling on floor plans only.

i'm certainly not considering it. joedavis, very good intel, and as i pointed out earlier i agree regarding the location. just found it interesting from the classic prewar perspective.

re the sf, even with the outrageous standards allowed in condos these days, the total square footage is large enough to ensure reasonably sized rooms at these proportions.
