"I have a blue house with a blue window...I'm blue (da ba dee)"

The Lower East Side's Blue Condo sticks out like a sore thumb. It would seem more appropriate along the water on the West Side, across from Chelsea Pier and adjacent to the Nouvel Chelsea new development. Nonetheless, it makes it's mark on the Lower East Side's skyline and could be an indication of what's to come for this slow-to-modernize neighborhood. The average unit in the Blue Condo sells for $1,200 to $1,300 per square foot, a lofty sum for the neighborhood, but in tandem with the rest of the city.

There's no doubt about it, when friends and family visit for the first time, it'll elicit a, "Wow." The question is, will it be a good "wow!" ("Very cool!") or a bad "wow" ("You live in that thing?")? For more information, visit http://www.bluecondonyc.com.
