One Brooklyn Bridge Park Open for Business
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…
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?

What else can you tell us about the place, broker?
So much misinformation. It’s a condo, not a condop, tax abatements may be available just like any other residential conversion, units are completely and normally mortgagable and deductible, monthly carrying costs are average for the amount of service, the park is scheduled to break ground in two months, the building will be the pump to maintain the park, and I heard 30 apartments went in the first two days.

why would you be worried about masonry dust as compared to carcinogenic petroleum byproducts? Let me guess, you get the diet soda but you smoke cigarettes.
Nobody with kids should have them living within 100ft of a major road like the BQE – the scientific studies tell the story
“I think it’s going to be three to five years of living hell.”
And then, after that, you’ll still have the BQE next door.
uh, 6:53, I don’t think it will be quieter as a contractor demolishes a quarter-mile long, 60-foot high masonry structure and builds a replacement. I don’t think it will be less dusty either. I think it’s going to be three to five years of living hell.
who cares about the BQE project – the BQE is there now, and will be after – its awful, the project won’t make any difference to the pollutants you’re breathing in. In fact – it’ll probably be quieter during the project.
Why would you walk all the way to Clark St? 8-10 minutes tops up Joralemon (the end of which is across from 360 Furman) to the 4/5/2/3 at Boro Hall. Its the same walk from Cobble Hill West (where I live) to the F at Smith. Other amenities that should be closer are far though.
The BQE project is scary. Plans talk of reroute along Furman while the catilever is being repaired. Furman is already a speed way (as my 70 in a 30 ticket will attest – watch out for the traps when bypassing the BQE).
Wow – crazy contingencies re: common charges, lease, construction AND the fact that closest subway is the Clark St. 2/3, at least a 15 minute walk for brisk pedestrians? Keeping my theoretical luxury checkbook closed, thanks.
