The Brompton

they seemed to have started sales at worst possible week

And they only let you in if you're "stylishly proper" enough....

Anybod have any info about how well this building is selling and for how much ?

It is over 50% sold after 3 months since sales office officially opened about end of July I think. There have been over 10 price amendments already since then. Studios $700k+ 1Bed $850k+ 3Bed $2.8m+ Developer SLOWLY releasing units and I think this is the only reason this place has not sold out just yet...

Look nice to me. Appears to be in a good location. New 2nd avenue subway might have long term appreciation effects on this building. Spunky likes it.

doglover: nice to know brokers for the building are reading this as well.

robocop: I am not a broker. We happened to have purchased a $3.5mn apartment at the building so all this information was just given to us by the sales agent.

doglover: do you have any info on the price per sq ft ? tnx

how big was your unit?

2168 sq ft

hahahaha... $1600/ft on the UES... near 86th street! LMAO. aahhh. That is good stuff. Clearly the top of the market when you start see something like that. That is FUNNY.

doglover - thanks for the info, I hope the new place works out well for you.
dmag2020 - try not to be so obnoxious, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. just stay off the board if you dont have something useful to add. People here are tying to get information and make decisions about some of the most significant transactions they will ever be involved in. Nobody cares what you find funny.

What in the world are you talking a dmag. 86th street and third is very nice. Extremely safe probably one of the safest areas of the city. Great location. Great future expansion of commercial and luxury buildings in that area. In addition you have the second avenue subway being built nearby.What's not to like. I personally like the West Village and Soho area but would also be very happy with this location as well.

Agreed. Even without the 2nd avenue subway the Brompton is only one block from the 4,5,6 stop at 86th and Lex. The second avenue line will only help the area further. $1600/sqft is not cheap and the Brompton is certainly not a bargain, but on that size of apartment it's in line with the competition and it's probably going to be one of the finest new dev's in the area.

you on high or low floor?

Hi all. How is this building ? and is it all sold out?

Brompton tells me that they have sold 55%

below 10th Floor

Have lived at the Gotham on 87th and 3rd avenue. Great area to live in for the family. Pluses of the area: close promixity to transportation, short walk to central park and the 100s of restaurants and bars in the area. Great place for kids. We sold when we relocated from nyc. On my last visit there, my wife and i saw the Brompton and we decided to buy.. a related group development designed by Robert Stern is always a winner. I was one of the first to buy into the building. This development should not have a problem of selling out....only question is how fast.

You should really buy an apartment in the Brompton.

Any updates with this development?

I am hearing that it is around 75% sold. The building looks very nice but at $1600+ a sq ft it is not for the faint of heart.

sushilv: thinking of buying into the gotham. is a price of $1.3 for a south facing 2BR an OK price?

anybody has compared Brompton vs. Lucida? Will be grateful for any info and insight.

Hi doglover or anyone who have bought it (or decided not), have you considered other new buildings in the area and what is your argument for Brompton? I went to see it last week. love it. thank you!

I just went to contract for a Jr 4 in the Brompton. Since we are on a low floor, I am particularly interested in what the retail space- anyone have any idea what will be there?

Shapeshifter, maybe a Walmart?! That would really be a great addition to the upper east side and Manhattan. Manhattan really needs a WalMart. Don't you all agree? If you do, you should pay or not sell for over $1,000 per square foot, because, although everything that once made the city appealing to most doesn't exist anymore, if you're willing to pay up, it's all yours!!!!! Enjoy! Give us all your money!

um, ok
