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.

by the way, nothing was torn down to make way for brownstones.
unless you have something against clearing cornfields also…
Don’t worry I’m sure plenty of gargoyles will move in and you will be able to see them perfectly.
It seems well designed, elegant. What would be better -Gargoyles and pointy turrets?
people who resides in brownstones should get over the fact that development in Brooklyn is inevitable. Didn’t something get torn down so your brownstone can get built??? Don’t you think those people hated the idea of brownstone buildings hundreds of years ago. Progress will take place, years from now, modern architecture and building design will be the norm. That is if global warning doesn’t leave us knee deep in sewage water. Maybe then, living in a glass enclosed building would not be such a bad idea.
All-glass is over, its been embarrassingly overdone now and cliched, like tramp-stamps. This place will look dated before its even finished. Nice view tho.
I looked at the pix of the rock star apt and I have to say – what’s with the pillar in the middle of the living room. As a newly designed building do you have to look at supporting columns all over your living spaces. It seems to me a mark of a poorly desgined building. They are all over that awful building at Park Pl and Flatbush too. -also I didn’t care for the oddly shaped smaller bedrooms. The are really tiny with diagonal walls.
A vacant lot at least has the potential to become something beautiful. This “thing” is just sad.
this is a billion times better than the ugly lot that was there brefore. and its not out of scale. alot of large buildings are around the area.
From what I can find there are no low income development requirements on On Prospect Park, it is purely a free suck on the public teat.
Here is an article on the subject.
