Brooklyn Buyers Dominating On Prospect Park Sales
It’s been a while since we checked in with ye olde OPP. So how’s it been going? According to the sales office, the House that Richard Built is 30 percent sold, more than had been expected at this stage (move-in’s not ’til Fall 2008). There was a cocktail party last week at which recent buyers…
It’s been a while since we checked in with ye olde OPP. So how’s it been going? According to the sales office, the House that Richard Built is 30 percent sold, more than had been expected at this stage (move-in’s not ’til Fall 2008). There was a cocktail party last week at which recent buyers got to mingle with bigwigs from the nearby cultural institutions. (Just think of all the potential donations!) Perhaps the most interesting fact we learned was that most purchasers have in fact been Brooklynites, clearly not what the developer Mario Procida anticipated given his decision to locate the marketing office in Tribeca. Does it surprise you that Brooklyn buyers are leading the charge? As for current pricing, there are a number of units listed on Corcoran (including this $6 million rock star pad) at per square foot prices of between $1,500 and $2,000. Quite something, then again there’s nothing like it.

“…6 or 7 simplistically negative comments made by the same person under either anonymous or different handles…”
Ummm, if they were anonymous, then how do you know it was only one poster?
Well there were over 50 comments, then it dropped to 47, but I haven’t noticed what comments were deleted, so I can’t take a guess as to why they disappeared.
Who knows?
That’s perfectly fine, but there were also some substantial posts taken down. I’m just sayin’….
There were 6 or 7 simplistically negative comments made by the same person under either anonymous or different handles that we removed. In fact, we went back and removed every comment this person has ever made which, it turned out, included some crude and sexually offensive remarks that we hadn’t caught at the time. Good riddance.
Has anyone else noticed that some of the criticisms of this building that were made earlier have been deleted?
What’s going on? There’s no commercial connection between Brownstoner and this building is there?
“…if this building makes you SO sad about brooklyn and not at least partially excited, then i’m guessing you are about 96 years old.”
Actually, if he were 96 he probably wouldn’t be able to see the building very well, and this would undoubtedly make him more enthusiastic about it.
oh yeah. so sad.
i much prefered the vacant lots, dozens of murders per neighborhood, open air drug markets, subways in complete disrepair, no restaurants, to a nice glass building.
don’t get me wrong, lots of things to miss about the old brooklyn but if this building makes you SO sad about brooklyn and not at least partially excited, then i’m guessing you are about 96 years old.
I meant don’t know why you a surprised that most purchasers already live in Brooklyn,
I don’t why you think that Brooklynites are most of the purchasers. Almost a third of NYC population is in Brooklyn and usually those living closest to a property are primary market.
Also, looks like great building and location but there will always be the ‘haters’ but they are mostly people that can’t afford this anyway
(not that I can – but I still think great addition).
