Hot damn. Laurels for the priciest condo sale ever in Brooklyn have just been stripped from Dumbo’s One Main Street and handed over to One Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Times says a humble, 9,486-square-foot triplex at 1BBP (actually five units rolled into one) sold for $8.495 million to a finance guy. “Three of the units, on the building’s 11th and 12th floors, had already been combined by a previous buyer who backed out of the deal after the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008. That buyer was forced to walk away from a deposit of more than $600,000. ‘The original buyers had created a very luxe three-bedroom five-bath apartment with a huge living and dining space,’ said Highlyann Krasnow, the sales director for One Brooklyn Bridge. It was about 4,200 square feet. ‘But this buyer wanted even more square footage, she said. The most expensive condo to sell in Brooklyn prior to this was a $7 million spread at One Main.
