[...] If you were saving up for the most expensive Brooklyn real estate listing, the $25million Clocktower Penthouse at One Main Street in Dumbo, you may be too late. Two Trees Management has reported to The Real Deal that the 7,000 square foot triplex is off the market. “The individual who is most serious about it is basically reserving it to make a deal,” says Asher Abehsera, a vice president at Two Trees Management to The Real Deal. They can’t reveal the buyer yet, but Abehsera says that “it would be easy to rent it for $60,000 [per month], I’ll tell you that much.” Whoever is renting to own or buying this condo will have one of the best views of NYC from that solarium on the roof.

Actually, upon thoughtful consideration, I realize now that I was wrong. MatzoMan is right. I apologize for being overly sensitive. I’ve since learned a great deal about how awful Walentas and his crew are. I just had no idea. I’m sorry.

MatzoMan is the illegemite son of David. Don’t be too mad bro, keep your head up. The outside world is scary so stay behind the screen.

MatzoMan – I think you need to back away from the computer, go outside with all the other three-dimensional people and get a life.

Holy moly you’re crazy.

Mainers – I don’t think it’s a good idea to publicly disclose and discuss the financial health of One Main, especially if it is or was a little shaky.

It is possible that someone who is considering buying in the the building is reading this blog. It could turn them off.

Now would be a good time to just get back on topic regarding the tumor on top of the building.

You use the term ‘bankruptcy’ loosely and incorrectly. In 2005 the building came up with an overall plan to address outstanding issues with the sponsor and building repairs. The settlement was one (small) part of it and for the benefit of the building. This does not mean bankruptcy.
And you are projecting the negative bias two year out as well. If a building is able to make large scale, timely repairs without assessments (haven’t had one in years and won’t need another one in forseeable future) they are considered to be in good shape.

Trying to sell more Jcondo units? Or is it Beacon?

actually,1 main was facing bankruptcy in 2005 which is why they rushed to settle with walentas in their protracted lawsuit. it also resulted in giving walentas the air rights. the only reason the building claims to be ok now is because the money raised from assessing and settlement hasn’t been spent. but pretty much every penny is earmarked for repairs that are 2years overdue.

“… people like me.” again, you know nothing about me.

conspiracy theories – my alleged affiliation with 2 trees – remember?

not angry? just look at your rants above.

insulted – just b/c you spew insults left and right doesn’t mean they have an insulting effect on their target, especially when coming from a bitter hothead with an axe to grind and who doesn’t know me from adam. save it for someone who cares.

milk and cookies – only if you’ll take a valium in return.

Man, people like you abound. You feel it necessary to put your insipid tripe on a blog and then someone corrects you (obliterates you) and you still feel compelled to defend your stance. Dude, the only appropriate responses in this situation: 1) apologize 2) silence. You’re a sycophant. “Conspiracy theories and insults” ? Everything I’ve written is true and most of it is widely known. You’re insulted? Too bad. Then don’t write dumb shite on subjects you know nothing about. What I’ve written isn’t “angry,” it’s statement of fact. That you had no knowledge of it and yet felt compelled to comment anyway, makes you a dunce. (Oh, I’m sorry, did I hurt your wittle feelings again?) This began because you said that Walentas made a lot of people rich, to which I take exception. If a person buys a unit in Dumbo for hundreds-of-thousands, or millions, of dollars, they did it through their own hard work. It was their risk, their debt, their perseverance. They’ve made money not because of, but in spite of, David Walentas. Now go have some warm milk and cookies and back away from the keyboard, Mary.

Walentas’s mistakes and fault aside, One Main was not facing bankruptcy and the issues that plagued the building initially have either all been solved or are in the midst of being solved. I am not arguing pro-Walentas, just pro-1 Main. We have worked hard to put this building into great shape.

conspiracy theories and insults is all that you have for me. most happy owners and residents don’t feel compelled to boast or gush about their positive experiences, especially when some have been less fortunate. it is more often those who are upset who want to share.

don’t take your anger out on me – i didn’t sell you the apartment or tell you to buy it. and don’t judge me or characterize me; you don’t know a thing about me or what i know.
