231 Norman Avenue will soon be home to Greenpoint’s first (and thus “flagship”) business condo, The Greepoint Lofts. Sales have officially started for the building’s sixty-eight 600- to 1,150-square-foot units, which will run from $295,000 to 570,000 each.
A PR release says prices have been cut a bit, which means the average square foot of chic commercial condo will cost about $450–a bit less than the area’s $750 standard.
And are those roof-side pools? Probably not.
The PR release is after the jump.

Introducing the first business condominium in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
NEW YORK, NY – July 19, 2006 – Equinet Properties, a comprehensive real estate investment solutions company, officially launched sales of Greenpoint Lofts, a premier business condominium building. Greenpoint Lofts is the first business condominium development in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and one of only a few in the five boroughs of New York City.
