The Herkimer at 511 Herkimer Street (All images via Corcoran)
You'd think there'd be a class to prevent developers from coming in and ruining a block with schlock, but this is New York after all. Over in Bed-Stuy, where 'luxury' buildings are popping up everywhere, is The Herkimer, a four-floor condo project with little regard for its surrounding context. ZPROEKT, based in Sheepshead Bay, is listed as the architect in DOB filings.
Beneath its lazy facade of metal panels and big windows are eight condominiums coming in studio, one-bedroom, and one-bedroom with home office configurations. The building's first two homes to hit the market are a studio and one-bedroom priced at $399K and $680K according. These bargain prices come in below $950 per ft² and feature a 15-year tax abatement, meaning very low carrying costs for the near term.
