Over-the-Top On the Park: Ikon Party Recap
The opening party that The Developers Group threw for the Karl Fischer-designed Ikon, one of the new additions to condo row on Bayard Street in Greenpoint, was over the top to say the least, but we guess that was the point.

The opening party that The Developers Group threw for the Karl Fischer-designed Ikon, one of the new additions to condo row on Bayard Street in Greenpoint, was over the top to say the least, but we guess that was the point. Valet parking, velvet ropes, slinkily clad hostesses, you get the idea. Despite a visit from DOB and some glitches with the elevator, the club music kept pumping and, more importantly to the hosts, wealthy prospective buyers kept shlepping through the model apartment. Whether all the glitz will pay off in the form of sales at the 58-unit development remains to be seen. If it does, it will be due in no small part to the much talked-about views (see below), which are pretty spectacular, especially if you’re a soccer fan. We haven’t seen any prices yet. Anyone heard anything?
Are you calling Ikon “nice” 1:39?
I used to hate the nice stuff too and was a hater. then i made some money, now i like the nice stuff and bought a lux condo. What can i say, i guess i grew up, and was able to invest in something that i knew was going to retain its value, and hopefully increase.
almost more than that lets keep this type of person out
Yes, let’s keep this modern design crap out of Brooklyn.
grotesque
this is the same garbage that’s trying to invade Hall/Washington. pure crap. keep the garbage out!
9:43, the only people who would buy these units are wealthy people with no taste.
Precisely the demographic who watches VH1 reality shows.
I have an investment banker friend who has her bank buddies over on Sundays so they can all watch reruns of “I Love New York”.
VH1? So they are selling to the wealthy Flavor Flav fan base. Makes total sense.
I saw an Ikon ad on t.v. last night that showed the same views (think it was on vh1).
