The Long Island City condo firesale continues with Arris Lofts; linkage

Curbed Arris linkage not working.

Maybe Arris paid Curbed off.

$593/sf is a nice price!!

That rape story is horrible. I don’t like that G-train station on 21st. It is always dirty and seedy.

The G train’s horribleness is mostly a myth. Or a past condition. Or based on construction weekends/nights.

I take it even latenights home and it is just as frequent as any other train at that hour. (i.e. 20 minute headways)

“It runs every 25 minutes or so, even during rush hour and it is a shorter train…no myth about it!”

It is short, obviously, but during rush hour it is not every 25 minutes. I get in the 23rd-Ely station every morning and a herd of people come off the G every 8 to 10 minutes or so.

There oughtta be pilates classes down there.

The 21st St station is scary and I’m a guy who has lived in bad neighborhoods. One winter weekend after midnight when the 7 shut down I took the E train to Ely and transfered to the G for one stop to save on walking in the cold. I would not do it again. Its easy to see how someone could get raped robbed anything without anyone noticing or coming to help.

My engineer just met with a building that finally got their C of O after 7 years. Buyer’s don’t seem to take the issue to seriously. It just means that they can’t sell their place. And in very rare instances like the condo that was built as a dorm in Brooklyn, people had to move out and lost everything. I would think the bank is a little more fussy in this climate about that little detail. So I don’t know the stasis of the Arris…….and their C of O, but buyer become educated. if you get that dream job in Paris and can’t rent the place……..and can’t sell it……And don’t have the assets to buy a new place……..your stuck. Heaven forbid you can’t handle a payment in this economy.
