Park Slope Development surge continues with 63-unit rental building

As Brooklyn booms and blooms, so too does its luxurious new constructions. Touted as the best NYC neighborhood to live in by New York Magazine, Park Slope has seen a remarkable amount of residential growth in the past decade. Riding the wave is Park Slope's newest large rental development, 278 Sixth, located at 278 6th Street in the heart of the Slope. The facility has two commercial spaces and 63 luxury rental units with state of the art amenities including a full service gym, onsite parking, balconies with views, in-unit washer-dryer combinations and stainless steel appliances. The apartments start at $2,800 for a one bedroom, and $3,700 for a two bedroom. Showings begin on Monday, September 29th. Urban Realty NYC, one of Park Slope's high volume brokers with over 400 apartment exclusives has teamed up with digital marketing firm Jones Innovative Group to bring 278 Sixth to market. According to Urban Realty's CEO Joe Cruz "83% of Park Slope residents work white collar jobs bringing in well above $120,000. The demand for these luxury units is on the rise and the time is now." Harry Garcia, co-founder of Urban Realty agrees with Cruz, claiming that "278 Sixth is exactly what the neighborhood needs; quality apartments with reasonable rents." Through the non-traditional marketing tactics of Jones Innovative, Garcia expects the building to reach 100% occupancy within 45 days of the building opening. Jones Innovative Group has been contracted to create all digital marketing assets, which include logos, videos, photos, renderings and the corporate website. The company's VP, Vernon Jones, claims, "nine out of ten renters rely on the internet as their primary research source. That's exactly why we're aiming to spread the word about 278 Sixth through hyper local lifestyle sites such as BrooklynBuzz.com." It is clear that the entire team is confident about the success of the building and time will tell if the neighborhood shares the same sentiment.
