"Atlantic Yards" development opportunity across from the Washington

Check out this listing on craigslist for the white building that houses the auto parts store on Dean between Underhill and Washington, directly across from the Washington Condo.

The FSBO is being offered at $899K for a 25x126 lot. The extra-long lot actually has two separate buildings, both of which can be developed -- one is a two-story residential (closer to Bergen) and another is a three-story mixed-use.

Price: $899,000.

Verdict: interesting, but I don't see anyone purchasing this lot to renovate these two buildings. It would be quite interesting as a tear down with an extra long lot, but then again, who would want to pour in $2 or $3MM in this neighborhood at this time?

maybe i should have been more specific. i don't think anyone is going to spend $2mm to build a house that's sandwiched between 1. the loading dock of a beer distributor and 2. the backyard of a house that has been the parking spot of the burned out car-carcass. oh, and the dean st. bus can also get quite annoying.

Do you have a clue about real estate?

A lot across from a $4.2 billion multi-use project has a lot more possibilities than a "house that is sandwiched between 1. the loading dock of a beer distributor and 2. the backyard of a house that has been the parking spot of the burned out car-carcass."

My God.

fyi, the seller keeps changing his mind with regards to the price, it seems like he is trying to create a bidding war.

the owner of 648 washington just picked up the two lots next door to this one. Adding this lot to the assemblage would make for a nice development site. If they can get the owner of the lot on the corner to sell it would be even bigger.

An assemblage like that could support another larger scale development similar to the washington which would fit in nicely with all the other projects in the area.

ben, interesting. isn't there a church right to the left of the beverage distributor?

the mechanic on the corner could sell, but then you'd really need the beer distributor to sell in order to get a large enough lot to gain economies of scale.

ben, you know Pedro is not selling, he would no sell his 20x110 on the next block right next to Supreme.

it actually looks like the two lots next door were just flipped so the assemblage with 648 washington has been broken up.
