On Prospect Park: Ready For its Close-Up

Yesterday we had the distinct pleasure of touring On Prospect Park, the Richard Meier-designed condo next to Grand Army Plaza. The building’s on-site sales office opened last week, and it consists of a model four-bedroom unit on the second floor. Details in the unit are legion: The kitchen, for example, has integrated appliances like a microwave “garage” and a Sub-Zero fridge, both of which completely blend into the white cabinetry; high-end finishes abound, with Zuma soaking tubs in the bathrooms, Gaggenau gas cooktops with integrated electric ovens in the kitchens, and walk-in showers in the master baths with Dornbracht rain heads. Unsurprisingly, though, the real star of the show at OPP are the views from the floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The view from the most expensive unit, a 16th-floor duplex penthouse that costs $6 million, includes Prospect Park on one end and both the Downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan skylines on the other. The building is now around 40 percent sold—its sales director, Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf of Corcoran Sunshine, said two more units went into contract on Monday—and move-ins should happen by September.

Brooklyn Can Finally Get Down With OPP [Brownstoner]
I guess you haven’t figured out how to post only once.
What does that say about you?
4:26: I guess you have no real point to make about my comments @1:53 so you make a lame attempt at insulting me. So cool.
You are a fucktard and an asshat. Now bend over and start nuking your popcorn.
i’m no insider…but maybe beyonce would buy in brooklyn because jay-z is a part owner of the nets? or maybe it’s not so much about brooklyn but that it’s a fancy new “starchitect” building near a gorgeous park? or maybe just to have someplace different to roll around in her piles of cash?
“No, but it did destroy the character of the museum”
Murakami didn’t think so.
Probably the most highly successful exhibit this year at ANY museum in NYC.
The crowds have been above all expectations.
Sounds really horrible.
I happen to love the new addition to the Brooklyn Museum.
You are a complainer.
“just like the new entrance to the Brooklyn Museum destroyed the character of the neighborhood…”
No, but it did destroy the character of the museum.
11:05 am does have a point. I actually like the building a lot, and I am one of those people who tends to like old stuff much better than the new, building-wise. But, if you’re in the long meadow (esp. south of 9th st.) of Prospect Park looking up, OPP is the only building you can see; beforehand you had a temporal illusion of the park being much vaster than it actually is.
So, I like the building, but I just wish the 6mil. penthouse was two stories lower.
re 4:24…
just like the new entrance to the Brooklyn Museum destroyed the character of the neighborhood…
just like the new canopy over the entrance to BAM destroyed the character of the neighborhood…
just like the Richard Meier buildings destroyed the character of the West Village…
just like the Guggenheim destroyed the Upper East Side…
just like the Empire State Building destroyed Manhattan…
Hey 1;53 Blogging and using the word fucktard, wow you are so cool.
these are the kind of buildings that destroy the character of a neighborhood.
