Closing Bell: One of Brooklyn’s Grandest Office Address

Manhattan may have its so-called Country Club towers, where office space is among the priciest in New York City, but Park Slope has something of an answer to those corporate castles in the sky—a far less high-tech but unmistakably brownstone Brooklyn alternative. Martin Goldin, a developer who purchased the condo-office space on the lower level of the Montauk Club building in 2001, rents out seven offices in what used to be the landmark’s private bowling alley (see pic of bowling pin markers on the jump!). Goldin currently has two spaces available that are asking $950 and $1,200; tenants get amenities like a shared conference room (above right), high-speed Internet and air-conditioning. The offices primarily attract home-based businesses who’ve outgrown their homes but want to be based in the community, says Goldin, who notes that the tenant mix tends to include professionals like attorneys, writers, and interior designers. “I think there’s a lot of need for this kind of space in the community,” he says.
