Bus loads of Brokers coming to a LIC near you: Condo Condo Condo!

O this is great and funny! Mr. Smith and Nancy Pelosi have the same eye blinky speed. I’m surprised Mr. Rosa didn’t mention the influx of retail coming in not just in the next two years but in the next couple of months. Great stuff LIQcity.

The most successful condo in LIC is Hunters Point Condos? Personally I think they could have come up with a more original name…so far I’d say the Foundry LIC and maybe 10-50 Jackson. I’d say Hunters Point Condos is the most marketed dev in LIC. hands down on that one. live like a rocket…

I grew up in LIC and I think its really cool that so many people are now interested in the area.

Hopefully, as more people move in more stores will open.

I believe Rick was asked by his company to provide the tour to the visiting agents

Or take the 7 train? I do it everyday. It’s so easy.

Hey Happy Hipster
Just curious why you think the hood is loosing its soul?
I grew up here and I really like all the change that is happening. Granted its not perfect.

Because yuppies and brokers are coming in by the busloads. Then no one will be able to afford it here anymore and all the real people will leave. Except for a few lucky ones locked in to some good shit, or die-hard types.

Word re: Ins & Outs Happy Hipster… it’s like one of those things that appreciates “arts” as a concept/patron/commodity rather than something that seems like it’s eminating from the creative community. All the glossy ads in there trying to promote some sorta high-class living… and don’t get me started on their music coverage. And don’t get me wrong, I love John McCauley (Deer Tick), he even played my old backyard house venue a few years ago, but does he… and Interpol! need the press from a “neighborhood” magazine? Why not seek out local Queens/Brooklyn bands who could use the promo?

Showpaper is printed in LIC though, I’ve learned. Maybe we’ll get some coverage in The Deli one of these days, too.

Funeral tonight at Dominie’s Hoek for Herman the fish by the way. 11 pm. Walking him to the East River at close.

Most successful LIC development – What a complete joke. This place has the crappiest construction yet. Even funnier is that 6 months ago they wouldn’t even alow brokers to sell the units. Now they are happy to “co-broke”. Sounds to me that they aren’t selling anything and are getting desperate. Most successful development yeah right.

Developers rarely co-broke in the beginning of selling a building b/c that’s when the most affordable, smallest units are being sold. They don’t need to co-broke them and lose money if they do. It’s the larger units they need help with and, therefore, co-broke them.

It’s not brain surgery people. LIC RE is fine chicken littles.

#21 sounds like the developer. nice try.

True. But it would be nice if they didn’t cater to them entirely. You can support commerce and advertising, and still talk frankly about the community at the same time. They’re not mutually exclusive. Look at curbed. They poke tons of fun at real estate and development, and have tons of developers advertising.

Maybe they need to improve their content if the readership is so low. There’s a direct correlation there. And that’s my issue with Ins & Outs. It could be something really amazing, but they’re kind of stuck in this one note tune. They don’t seem to have established their own voice/identity. If they are just catering to advertisement, then what’s the draw for readers? I’ve seen the magazine around town, but if LIQcity did not link to them in this post I never would have gone to their site. And the only thing interesting on the site really is the comprehensive lists of businesses and restaurants in LIC. But if LIQcity has that covered, which he seems to be starting, then what are they offering to the community besides just a bunch of useless articles pandering to their advertisers?

Love the positive spin video! Hysterical take on the obvious fact that they simply couldn’t sell the units, at those prices, in this market. That busload of brokers are beginning to look very hungry. The market decline is obviously hitting LIC… that’s why other LIC condos are slashing prices, and Powerhouse can’t close any sales.
