A couple of weeks ago we reported that 40 Acres and a Mule, Spike Lee’s production company, had moved out of its Fort Greene headquarters of the past 22 years. Now, it turns out, the owner has put the three-story former firehouse on the market for a staggering $6,000,000. We realize the place has the fame factor going for it, but you’d have to be pretty star-struck to shell out $1,000 a foot for something that doesn’t even have much interior charm going for it and is across the street from the hospital entrance. The aggressive asking price also kinda makes you wonder wonder whether Spike decided to leave or was forced to.

  1. The interior of the building is mint, many custom features. I’m amazed at all negative comments while it is obvious none of the comments come from people who have actually been inside the building. Wait for the professional photos and virtual tour next week.

  2. This place is totally over priced, but what can you do? Sellers will be sellers. I heard this place was not only a firehouse but also a bomb shelter, this would explain the vault. This place is rock solid. As for the mortgage i heard Lee owned it but then sold it to the present owner but kept the lease, or paid the mortgage as the lease. Something like that. Supposedly there is a deck on top. Also, it is a total gut inside, so that will cost money.
