600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue Condos: What the Offering Plan Says
600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue is a new two-wing, nine-story condo in Bedford-Stuyvesant with 70 large apartments, 12 of which the sponsor keeps as rentals. Its offering plan shows asking prices of about $1.1 million to $3.5 million, common charges under $1,500 a month, property taxes that run about three times the common charges, no staff on payroll and no pets.
In brief: The 600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue Condominium is a new building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, at the corner of DeKalb and Nostrand Avenues. It has two nine-story wings with 70 apartments, mostly three- and four-bedroom homes with balconies. The plan uses no marketing name. What sets it apart: the sponsor is keeping 12 units as rentals and only has to sell 11, the building has no employees and no pets, and it's one piece of a larger complex with about 250 rental apartments next door.
What's Specific to It
- The sponsor may stay in control. The sponsor only commits to selling 15% of the units (11 apartments) and can rent the rest. The plan warns that owner-occupants may never control the board.
- Taxes outweigh common charges. Projected property taxes are about $1.5 million a year, roughly three times the condo's $519,000 operating budget. The 421-a abatement the sponsor is seeking covers only its 12 rental units, not the ones for sale.
- Shared spaces are next door, for a fee. The roof terrace, courtyard and bike room are in the neighboring rental building, and residents pay a monthly fee set by that building's owner to use them.
- Part of a bigger complex. The condo is one unit of the 270 Nostrand Avenue Condominium, alongside a 140-unit rental building with a public parking garage and a 110-unit affordable rental building.
- No pets. Only service animals are allowed.
- Bring your own washer and dryer. Each home has hookups for a side-by-side washer and a vented gas dryer, but the machines aren't included.

At a Glance
- What it is: one new building with two wings, A (600 DeKalb) and B (610 DeKalb), each nine stories over a shared cellar. The plan expected construction to wrap up in June 2025 and the first closing by October 1, 2025.
- Size: 70 apartments, 35 per wing, with four elevators (two per wing). No commercial space in the condo and no parking.
- Layouts: mostly three-bedroom homes of about 1,280 sq ft and four-bedroom homes of about 1,480 to 1,790 sq ft. Each wing also has two duplexes joining the first floor to cellar space. Sizes are measured to the outside of exterior walls, so livable space is smaller.
- Offering prices: the 58 units for sale run from about $1.1 million to $1.8 million, with the two duplexes per wing at about $2.8 million and $3.5 million. These are asking prices, not sales.
- Common charges: roughly $400 to $1,460 a month, under the sponsor's first-year projection.
- Location: the plan puts the building about 450 feet from the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues G station.
Finishes
The plan says little about finishes. It names few brands and doesn't describe floors, counters or bathroom fixtures.
Kitchens and laundry
- Included: a refrigerator, a gas stove and a dishwasher. Brands aren't specified.
- Laundry: hookups for a 24-inch side-by-side washer and a vented gas dryer. You buy the machines. There's no shared laundry room.
- Not included: any other appliances, and blinds or shades.
Heating, cooling and windows
- Heating and cooling: Mitsubishi ducted heat pump split systems in each apartment.
- Windows: double-glazed Pella windows, chosen in part to meet the site's city noise and air-quality requirements. Doors to balconies and terraces are also Pella.
- Entry: a video intercom in each home. The plan says there's no security system or virtual doorman.
- Utilities: you pay your own electricity. Gas and water are billed to the condo and paid through common charges.
Compare with NYC condo heating and cooling systems and in-unit washer-dryers.
Amenities
The condo itself has almost no shared amenities. What it offers is mostly private outdoor space and storage:
- Balconies and terraces: nearly every apartment has one or two balconies. Several upper-floor homes add a private roof terrace, and the largest ones on the 9th floor top 1,400 sq ft.
- Yards: the first-floor homes get a portion of the yard.
- Cellar storage: many apartments come with an assigned storage closet in the cellar. The plan warns it may be damp.
Good to know: the neighboring rental building (85 Kosciusko Street) holds a courtyard, a bike room and an 11th-floor roof terrace with an enclosed, unfurnished recreation room of about 579 sq ft. Residents reach them through that building's lobby and elevators, and use them for a monthly fee set by its owner. There's no gym or pool. Compare with amenities by building size.
Staffing and Services
The condo is not expected to have any employees. Work is handled through service contracts:
- A contracted janitor on site 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus a part-time janitor
- Janitorial service on call 24 hours a day
- No doorman or front desk
Each floor has a garbage chute, and a porter brings refuse out on pickup days. See where common charges go for context.
What It Costs to Run
The sponsor projects a first-year budget of about $519,000 (October 2025 to September 2026). With no staff on payroll, it's a lean budget for 70 homes. The biggest lines:
| Budget line | Approx. first-year cost |
|---|---|
| Insurance | $107,000 |
| Water and sewer | $88,000 |
| Janitor and cleaning | $72,000 |
| Reserve fund | $52,000 |
| Management | $50,000 |
| Common-area electricity | $48,000 |
Insurance is about a fifth of the budget. Common charges run roughly $400 a month for the smallest homes to about $1,460 for the largest duplex.
Property taxes are the bigger cost. The plan projects about $1,200 to $4,300 a month per unit once the building is assessed at its finished value, and warns taxes will rise materially from the partial-year figures. Read more on common charges, estimating condo property taxes and 421-a tax abatements.
Good to know: 10% of every common charge payment goes into a reserve fund for major repairs. At closing you pay a working capital contribution of two months' common charges, plus $2,500 toward the sponsor's cost of forming the condo. See the working capital contribution and condo reserve funds.
Fine Print Worth Knowing
- Financing risk. Because the sponsor may hold many units, the plan warns some lenders may not lend here until enough apartments sell, which could also make resale harder.
- Shared systems. The condo shares a sprinkler system with the rental building next door, and its water and gas meters sit in that building. Unusual repairs to these shared parts would be assessed to owners.
- Environmental designations. The site carries city "E-designations" for air quality and noise. The sponsor completed the cleanup, but major future construction may need city environmental approval.
- Late closing costs. If you don't close on the scheduled date, interest of 10% a year runs on the unpaid price.
- Closing fees. You pay the sponsor's attorney $3,200 plus the transfer taxes. A mortgage contingency is only at the sponsor's discretion.
- Cellar space. The duplexes' cellar levels count as uninhabitable, so they can't be used for sleeping or dining.
Who's Behind It
- Sponsor: 270 Nostrand Propco LLC, which is also the selling agent
- Architect: Karim Ahmed, R.A., Reform Architecture PLLC
- Managing agent: Top Quality Management, on a one-year agreement that renews each year
- Sponsor's counsel: Jeffrey Zwick and Associates, P.C.
- Tax consultant: Metropolitan Realty Exemptions
The plan doesn't name an interior designer. The sponsor is building the two neighboring rental buildings on the same timeline.
