Without a whole lot of fanfare, One Brooklyn Bridge Park opened for business yesterday. There’s no pricing info on Stribling or the development’s Homepage, but one prospective buyer dropped us a note with this report from inside the sales office: There are 445 apartments in the complex, ranging from $650 a foot on the BQE side to $1,200 a foot for Manhattan views; three bedrooms start at $1.8 million. There’s one model apartment to look at (a two-bedroom) and none of the most prime units are available for sale yet. One interior design detail of note: The Sub Zero built-ins are wood covered to blend in with the cabinets. (We’ve included an interior rendering on the jump.) It’s easy to be skeptical about this project given the proximity to the BQE and the fact that there’s going to be another couple years of construction, but we bet that time will show that this is a place people want to live, especially when the park is done. What do you think?

  1. With very little for sale in the prime heights and cobble hill – this building will have success just because there are so few options out there! $1200 is not looking that outrageous these days!

    However, the pollution from being that close to the BQE would keep me from buying this place – even if I could afford it. AND it is a hike to stores/ subways/restaurants …especially when you are carrying your groceries.

  2. Yo, disbeliever, the offering plan was approved by the attorney general. The updated website will be up in two weeks. You can have a field day. And yo, disbeliever, I’ve been a community activist probably since before you were born.

  3. yo, harvest, doesn’t the offering plan have to be approved by the attorney general before there can be any sales? the developer’s website clearly states that the offering plan has not been approved.

  4. O.k., here goes. Anon (4/7), what else do you want to know? Anonymous (4/8), since the project was announced and the sign went up on the building (what? a year ago?), 4000 people have either hit the website or called to be shown the building when open. In fairness, the developer has been wading through that list first. As for the lawsuits, g-gal, keep trying; the only two I know about have already been rejected by the courts.

  5. BQE rebuild a mess. Noise and chaos to ensue for many years. Park proponents likely to win law suit so this will be the lone house on the prairie with long hike to stores. Promenade dwellers will block any bridge to get up to shopping and subways in central Heighs. Got a covered wagon?
