One Hanson Place: The Atlantic Yards Effect

The "Atlantic Yards Effect" has been better for some...

536 Carlton aka 565 Dean Street open house

More details emerge from the large-footprint condo going on sale at the NW corner of Dean and Carlton in Prospect Heights. A commenter on our previous post mentioned that the building may have been built by two Columbia professors who were bought out by Ratner at a "very good price."
...
A bit more digging reveals that the duo may have been paid $2.975MM by Ratner for their two coops at 475 Dean Street. With their windfall, they promptly purchased a penthouse unit at Park Slope's famed and prestigious Ansonia Muse Condominiums.

...than others:

526 Carlton sells, in spite of the AYE

This townhouse on Carlton between Dean and Pacific has sold for $1.23MM, quite a bit lower than the original ask of $1.499MM. Back in December 2005 nolandgrab had a post on this property, as did brownstoner.

Note: 526 Carlton is located on the block nestled within the Atlantic Yards project footprint.
