The Real Deal Looks at Brooklyn’s Top Condos
September 5th, 2008
The Real Deal’s September 2008 issue looks at the most expensive condos in the outer boroughs of NYC. Brooklyn’s top condos start at $7 million plus for the One Main Street penthouse on the 14th floor in Dumbo as reported in May. David Walentas is renovating the 16th floor penthouse and into a three-story penthouse with roughly 6,000 square feet, and a private rooftop “observation deck.” The unique features are the four 15-foot-high clocks on each wall and dramatic views of the city. The plans have not been disclosed, but when all is done, the rumors are that the condo will sell for $30 million+, which easily tops the most expensive condo in Brooklyn.
