Williamsburg Loft Asks $6.5 Million

A six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom apartment at the Gretsch building on Broadway in Williamsburg just came on the market for a whopping $6,500,000, The Daily News reported. If it sells near ask, it will set a record. The highest price ever paid for an apartment in the borough is $5,100,000 for a Prospect Park West penthouse in 2008, according to the News.

The price puts the 3,800 square-foot apartment at $1,800 a square foot — “50 pecent higher than anything else in the building and well above the neighborhood average,” said the story. The unit is actually a combination of two three-bedroom, 2.5-bath apartments, according to the Elliman listing. One of the bedrooms has been converted to a closet, above, and two others are currently used as a library and an office. Businessman Mark Altman purchased the units in 2007 and 2010 for a total of $2,900,000, and then spent $1,000,000 combining them, according to the story.

“It’s an unparalleled unit in the hottest neighborhood on the planet,” said the broker when asked about the price. “There’s nothing else like it, in terms of size and views.” Do you think it will sell for ask?
