A 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit is now listed at Corcoran for $779K. Another, a 1,042 square foot 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit is also on the market, listed by Brown Harris Stevens, for $750K. No doubt, due to the popularity of the building and neighborhood, these two will sell real fast.

Elliman has the listing for the office space attached to the former space of Rice restaurant. The listing makes it seem like the restaurant is renting for $3K a month, which would be incredibly low. In reaity, it's the office on the side, on Cumberland.

Between Dean and Bergen on Vanderbilt, the owner of this building with a new addition is selling it for $4MM. Yes, $4MM for this thing. It's a 5-story building with street-level retail and probably at least 4 condominium units. According to the listing, the building is in the process of converting to a condo.

In the retail news of the day, Racked reports that Steven Alan is opening up near Atlantic and Bond. Interesting news. Commenters on Racked are afraid they are going to take away Stuart & Wright's business, but I'd be more interested to see what the people at Hollander and Lexer are thinking. Especially since they may be located on the same block or less than a block away from each other in the

Check out the transformation of Jerry Minsky in these two pictures. At far left is the picture he had up in 2007. At near left is what we just saw earlier today. Sporting a fresh new 'do, Jerry Minsky is quoted as being instrumental in having "been part of an undertaking which reflects the amazing surge in popularity, demand and property value in the Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Stuyvesant

For what seemed like an eternity, the Sanctuary website was just a teaser one. But today, a full list of floorplans is available. The results promises to be a set of floorplans that will appease those who are tired of cookie cutter floorthroughs. Located at 264 Cumberland, this combination church/townhouse has 13 apartments, with studios, garden apartments, duplexes and simplexes among its many

Rumoured to be rentals, it is now confirmed that the behemoth pictured at left (courtesy of brownstoner.com) has been named 'Isabella Condos.' The Developers Group has the listings. They are set to launch late spring 2008.

As we walked by Dean and Vanderbilt for the first time in a few weeks, we were struck by the mortar holes in the backside of the Ward Bakery. This looked more like the Middle East than smack dab in the middle of Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Today's Atlantic Yards rallying cry was 'TIME OUT' on the Yards project, but the unions and contractors outwitted the protesters by showing up en masse to stage their own rally. Separated from each other by a phalanx of NYPD officers and a few strategically placed cars, the union members shouted slogans while whistling and pressing on air horns. Soon after, they walked counterclockwise around

The Fort Greene townhouse condominium conversion market is alive and kicking. Look no further than the 'Landmark Estates' at 122 Fort Greene Place, as proof. With 4 units listed at a total of $5MM, this is ample proof that the targeted Fort Greene buyer these days is someone who can easily drop $1.2 to $1.6MM for a condo (after closing costs). For doubters, look at our post here on the

If you're in the market for condo-living in the Fort Greene area, here's a 1,300 square foot 2 bedroom, 2 bath with washer/dryer for $3700. It's got a corner exposure, to boot.

Tipped off by a brownstoner.com comment, we headed over to the snazzy new teaser site for the '525 Collection' between Atlantic and Fulton. Be prepared for a long load time of a flash movie. Once it loads up, you're treated to a women's voice talking about how soundproof their windows are. The sponsor, KARNUSA, who also happens to be the sponsor for the Greene House has an equally rock-n-roll

A 835 square foot 2 bed, 2 bath for $679K. Note that the first listing broker states that the Greene House is a 'green building' Blatant lie or any truth to this? As our tipster stated, the only thing green about

If you're looking for rentals off the Clinton-Washington C-train stop, take a look at this very non-descript building between Fulton and Greene. Dubbed 506 Washington, the managing company has been plastering craigslist. A sample price sheet here lists rents for studios starting at $1700 to penthouse 2 bedrooms for $2700, which doesn't sound so bad. Parking is an additional $250 a month. These
