One Main PH Set at $25M
August 10th, 2009
Apparantly the 124 unit One Main Street building is so exclusive that it has two penthouse units on the market. The first one is the 14th floor, two bedroom 3208 sq.ft. condo that was previously Brooklyn’s most expensive condo at $7million has been listed at $8.5million ($890/mo RE tax, $2061/mo maintenance). The other penthouse, THE penthouse at One Main, is the one featured in NY Times this weekend is on the market for $25million. The photos of this condo look incredible.
Here are the stats:
- A triplex penthouse apartment at 1 Main Street in Dumbo for $25million (more than double the highest price known to have been paid for a home in Brooklyn.)
- Four 14 foot high round clocks
- A glass-walled elevator and a three-story floating staircase at the center of the space
- Main Floor: 3,000 square foot main floor with 16 foot high ceilings
- Second Floor: 2,300 square foot, three bedrooms
- Third Floor: 988-square-foot open loft with a 15-foot ceilings
- Top “crow’s nest”: A staircase that goes to the top of the building.
NY Times has some photos in a slideshow here. We saw the solarium (crow’s nest) built in early 2008. The photos and views from the condo are probably the best views money can buy for a private residence in Brooklyn and arguably in NYC.
This is a unit you can’t compare, but just for fun, if you combine the 18 penthouse units in 70 Washington, you could have purchased them all for $28million which would give you over 22,000 sq.ft. and $11,000 per month maintenance fees. Mr. Walentas mentions that this is “one-of-a-kind space that would appeal only to a one-of-a-kind buyer.” Will you buy it?

Or you could compare it to this comparably-sized and comparably-price Soho property.

At this apartment, which I have already purchased, I will hold a dinner party. At this dinner party, to which will be invited the greatest supervillains of all time, I will pose the question:
“Gentlemen, how do we kill Superman?”

WOW! in 2003 someone would have bought it for $25,000,000. now I’m not so sure.

Just goes to show what a greedy, slimy, person this Walentas guy really is.
Has he any frakin clue about the state of the economy?
Or is he so sick with the need to make money that he is blind?

Not for nothing, No2W, but he’s also trying to unload his horse ranch in the Hamptons for $95 mill. Which begs the question, Is someone hard up for cash?

All it needs are bats and a hunchback.

let’s all chip in, buy it, and sell back to him

I love the apartment and if I won the lottery I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Its as unique as they come. ….drool.

If this goes for 25 million, does anyone know if that will impact the overall real estate taxes in DUMBO?
August 12th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
No way. I’d combine two mansions in fort greene, hire lifetime servants and a maintenance crew, and still have around 15 mill to play with.

I’d buy the Zebra’s parking lot, erect a 12 foot cinder block wall with broken glass on top like the Buddhist temple and fill Jay and Front Street with idling Maybachs so the clowns at J Condo couldn’t get their Fairway groceries unloaded. The house? A double wide in the middle of a cypress forest with an outdoor wet bar. Yeah, that’s what I would do.

Regarding the RE taxes. Incrementally of course. The city could care less that this is an anomaly. They only go by the numbers. That’s why you can and should protest increases.
