Wanna See One Brooklyn Bridge Park? Get In Line
When the sales office at One Brooklyn Bridge Park aka 360 Furman quietly opened on April 4, there was already a list of 4,000 (!) people waiting to get a peek inside the 449-unit development which, controversially, is located right in the middle of what will be a waterfront park.

When the sales office at One Brooklyn Bridge Park aka 360 Furman quietly opened on April 4, there was already a list of 4,000 (!) people waiting to get a peek inside the 449-unit development which, controversially, is located right in the middle of what will be a waterfront park. At some point this week, the huddled masses will be able to get into the 1928 warehouse to peruse the condo offerings, which range from 588-square-foot studios to 4,638-square-foot penthouses. If the park ends up looking anywhere near as nice as this rendering (and there’s reason to think it will, given what’s already been built in Dumbo), this should be one of the most sought-after addresses this side of the East River. Time will tell. Does anyone know how many of these things are in contract already?

I dunno. I used to go to that Key Food on 7th Ave and it was pretty blah. The space isn’t nearly large enough to support a WF or TJs.
I feel like people don’t get basic econimics. What’s next? You wish Ikea would move within walking distance?
i wish trader joe’s would take over the key food on 7th ave in the slope. very centrally located for a lot of people who could walk and who do not necessarily enjoy fresh direct (i don’t) don’t want to work at the food co-op and like decent priced food. it seems like an amazing location, if you ask me.
i’m biased, of course.
I agree that it would be nice if Fairway were subway-accessible, but, then, it ain’t easy to find affordable, bazillion-square-foot commercial space in the slope, ya know.
well a lot of us brooklynites don’t have cars and would like to keep it that way.
putting these fairways and trader joe’s in such crappy areas when it comes to mass transit is not very helpful. i just don’t understand the logic. park slope or not.
this is a walk up a very steep hill to the train which is not condusive for hauling groceries.
I don’t think it’s THAT ridic. Fairway doesn’t have subway access and is doing great. Also this place is going to have a 500 space hourly parking garage in addition to the 125 resident parking garage.
I know Park Slopers feel entitled to EVERYTHING, but maybe owners don’t like the idea of all those people buying 3 items and walking home.
talk to a mortgage broker dude.
jesus.
this site is turning into curbed.
Can I afford a 3or 4br condo there?
Income over 400k (incl bonus), in the bank half a mill, around 300k equity in current condo and some money in 401k….

Whoa, Anon 5:02–easy on the Hill-bashing transit myths. I walk about 40 seconds to the G, and about 8 minutes to the C. Not convenient like Boerum, but not exactly Siberia, and wayyyy cooler old buildings than a lot of hoods. No need to nabe-bash.
You know the building is right across the street from the Greek revival houses of Brooklyn Heights. It isn’t in Timbuktu. All the subway lines in the world are a short, pleasant walk away. This isn’t Clinton Hill where you have to walk a mile to get on the G train. This is a really nice and convenient location. It is a five minute stroll to Montague Street.
