Slowdown in the Carlton/Greene condo sales?

The Corcoran website shows that there are still at least 15 units left in the 383 Carlton Ave Condos. I would have thought that the premium that Corcoran and Minsky brought to the table would have made this project a quick sellout. But apparently, the buyers have spoke with their wallets and balked at their nearly $1,000 per square foot prices.

Loyal readers, please remember that back in December or so, I railed heavily against some of the prices at this complex. Perhaps people who are dropping three-quarters of a million dollars are demanding kitchens large enough where they can actually lie flat! Remember the pictures I posted which showed the kitchens fit for midget gourmet chefs?

3/20 update: went to the open house today and were told by the guy who built the place (yes, the construction guy who literally poured the concrete there) that it won't be ready for another 3 months at least. New construction delays in Brooklyn are the news of the day, folks. The Canadian floors were put in already. One open house-goer asked, so there are no walk-in closets, right? The construction guy said, yeah, there are closets. She replied, yeah, but no walk-in closets, right? Apparently, she was none too enthralled with the tiny closets either. I mean, where is a woman going to put all her clothes. Or a guy his dress-shirts and suits? The subway-tile motif in the bathrooms were a winner, though.
