An anonymous tipster emailed about the marketing of 155 15th aka Harbor Hill Condos in the South Slope. It seems that the broker and developer have decided to go their separate ways.
Douglas Elliman sent an email out to prospective buyers basically saying they felt the developer’s price points were unrealistic in this market.
I usually take no interest in new development real estate nonsense, but I found this one interesting because this is the building that was erected where a church was knocked down. Now, I’m not a religious person and if I was, I certainly wouldn’t choose Catholicism (no offense) but part of me can’t help but wonder if there’s some Poltergeist shit going on at this site.
Or it could just be unrealistic developers and brokers who wanted the listing and promised them the world to get it.

It was not much of a church. I don’t even think it had a congregation. The pastor, or whoever ran it and lived there used to rent out the space for loud parties on Saturday nights, with no regard to the people who lived on the block. My friend lives across the street and was constantly complaining to them…to no avail.
Sooo, my Poltergeist theory: not so much?
Wonder if this break-up has anything to do with the fact that, a year or so after this eyesore was built, it is already coming apart at the seams? The front steps are already spalling. Who knows what kind of slipshod work they did on the interior as they rushed to finish this before the housing market completely fell apart?
Oh, my bad. Confused this building with another P.O.S. in the neighborhood, over on 16th Street. Sorry.
Gee, I’m so sad for the team of “over developers.” Guess they won’t be knocking down the two adjacent commercial properties on 4ht Ave as they had said…
