Let's take a look at Seven East Village, the new luxury condos now for sale at 7th and D



Sales are now underway at 277 E. Seventh St., the luxury condos near Avenue D now going by Seven East Village ... complete with this for the branding — the shirtless, bearded guy riding a (Citi?) Bike on First Avenue at St. Mark's Place (inexplicably standing in for East Seventh Street)...



Curbed swung by the kick-off event (we were not invited!) the other night (where they raffled off a Vespa!). You can head over there for a lot of photos of the model units and people in suits and stuff.

So far, just two of the six units are on the market, including Penthouse B ($2.05 million).

Let's take a look at the OMG listing from the gang at Nest Seekers (the official building site is here):

Penthouse B spans its own private floor and encompasses more than 1,300 Square Feet. With direct and exclusive entry via your own private keyed elevator entrance, you are welcomed to a grand living room with 12 feet of southern facing, fully-collapsible, floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto a generous balcony. Wide-plank, Forest Stewardship Council white oak floors grace the home throughout.

The kitchen, a piece of art in its own right, boasts Italian crafted cabinetry, waterfall countertops, and appliances from Bertazonni and Fisher & Paykel. The master bedroom, with an en-suite bath and its own terrace, is its own paradise.

The second bedroom is equally as large with great closet space. Each feature one-inch thick windows made of sound-attenuating thermal high performance glass. The spacious baths includes custom Italian vanities, radiant heated floors, Porcelanosa tiles, a frameless shower and Zuma Collection soaking tub. The home is fit with built-in speakers, a 3-zone climate control system, and washer/dryer. The roof deck is complete with a state-of-the-art electric grill, a Caesarstone countertop, sink, and Ipe wood cabinets, along with spacious dining and entertaining space.

Let's look at some photos from this unit...









Looks nice!

Of course, it seems like a lot of the neighbors already hate this building given the incessant noise from construction. Which may be why Curbed's correspondent overheard this at the event:

A woman on the street yelling, "Hey! Look! Assholes moving to the neighborhood!" at the people on the second floor Juliet balcony.

  1. Gorgeous apartment. Location is crappy, but the price isn't unreasonable. We are kind of on the market, but I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever buy anything from the yahoos behind that ridiculous advertisement! As a resident of 9th street I am personally (and probably unreasonably) offended!

  2. I live in the Seven East Village Building on 277 East 7th Street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

    Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

  3. Patrick, do you eschew alcohol in beverages as well?

  4. Patrick Bateman, you forgot the pig blood cleansing enemas, the bacon flavored douches and the pig knuckle smoothies, otherwise your swine based lifestyle sounds a bit boar-ing if you know what I mean.

  5. Location, location, location. $2MM for an apartment across the street from housing projects. I know this type of shit is normal in NYC 2015, but I still don't get it, probably never will.

  6. To paraphrase Bill Zecekendorf "If I can just scratch up the $50K for a down payment, I'll be able to borrow the $2MM" to make the deal.

    I guess you just gotta think big!

  7. Is that the Pee Wee Herman bike on the wall?

  8. I hope the new owners are fans of Uber since they will be hard pressed to find a taxi nearby or a subway entrance nearby.

  9. Friend, when you live at 277 E. Seventh St, you don't need to go anywhere. The world comes to you.

  14. Actual Flash its down the street across the street are a set of "Captain Houses' pre civil war. Owned by Merchant ship owners when the East River came up to Ave D they look like they were built in 1850's 7th street has a lot of nice residential housing both old and contemporary. New Condo's on 7th btwn B&C went quickly to sale far enough away from the blight.

  15. Anon 10:15: That's not the view in the ad copy posted here -- they look like tenements to me.

    I love the old houses you speak of, which ought to be land-marked, lest they meet the fate of the 2 schuls destroyed on East Fourth a few years ago....
