On the edge
NY Post
by Katherine Dykstra
What makes a new condo building desirable? Not proximity to an endless construction site.
After four years on the market, One Hanson Place is down to its last eight condos.
While the former Williamsburg Savings Bank building — which has been hosting the Brooklyn Flea in its magnificent ground-floor space — is undeniably beautiful, part of the slow sales can likely be attributed to its less-than-ideal location. Though it sits at the intersection of desirable neighborhoods — Fort Greene, Boerum Hill — it’s also on a noisy, windy block that’s near Atlantic Yards, which will be a construction site for years to come.
