The symbolism of the transaction was too great not to milk for maximum exposure: One of the great doyennes of the Upper East Side real estate community abandons her Yorkville townhouse to move to a condo conversion on the banks of the East River in Brooklyn. The doyenne? Elizabeth Stribling, founder of Stribling & Associates. The condo conversion? One Brooklyn Bridge Park. It just so happens that Stribling is one of the two firms (the other is The Developers Group) in charge of selling the 449-unit project. What did she get? Two penthouse apartments with a combined 3,400 square feet of indoor space plus 2,000 square feet of outdoor space and a parking space. The cost? $6.6 million. The marketing mileage? Priceless.

    *****

    take a look at the building pic noting the size of windows and height of floors then
    read this comment..”Most of the units, the windows are so high up that even if you could afford the water view, you would need a small step ladder to see it. ”
    Makes no sense at all.
