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?

I dont think 1200/sf is insanity for waterfront views, I would think most of the places overlooking the Promenade, when they do trade, sell for that or more. Also, someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think your $1200/sf for prime Soho is a bit dated.
I just bought a house in PSlope for $400 per usable square foot. $1,200/sf?! Insanity. That’s prime SoHo style pricing. Do we all think this place will sell like Meier’s place on the park or some prime loft place in Tribeca?!
I agree that the amenities will be lush (much more so than in my humble abode) and the park/views/water very nice … but $1,200?!
I would move in here in a minute if I could swing it. It’s expensive, but not as wacked-out as the house prices are in B-list neighborhoods.
Agree that a major concern is the extensive work they’re going to be doing on the bqe. Aren’t they using the park as a staging area? I wouldn’t think that area is going to pleasant to live in for quite some time.
I think this stretch of the BQE repair will be done before people move in. I was at the Brooklyn Heights Assoc annual meeting and I think they said this area was being repaired sooner rather than later. In 2007 anyway.

I love the look of these places. Ever notice how Two Trees is using the same interior in every damn building? These looks like something a bit nicer.
going to be a bit of a mess when they start re-doing that portion of the bqe in a few years, which i have heard is in the works…
Actually, this location would be great if everything you did were by car, since you can access the BQE very easily at Atlantic and can drive under the promenade up to DUMBO and onto the Brooklyn Bridge. Problem is walking.
