The crown jewels inside Brooklyn’s most visible landmark have finally been listed. Stribling has started advertising two penthouse units—which are being called the Clocktower Residences—at One Hanson Place. The priciest of the pricey is a 4-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath going for $4,775,000; the other pad, a 2,848-square-foot 3-bedroom, is fetching a cool $4,095,000. Stribling notes…
The crown jewels inside Brooklyn’s most visible landmark have finally been listed. Stribling has started advertising two penthouse units—which are being called the Clocktower Residences—at One Hanson Place. The priciest of the pricey is a 4-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath going for $4,775,000; the other pad, a 2,848-square-foot 3-bedroom, is fetching a cool $4,095,000. Stribling notes that both are just below One Hanson’s gilded dome and feature panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn as well as fancy appliances and finishes. The speed at which these luxurious spreads sell will certainly say something about how the highest of high-end condos are faring in Brooklyn right now. (As for possible buyers: Brooklyn still welcomes you, Oprah.) Bathroom shot and a floorplan for the $4.775 mil unit on the jump, and there’s an open house tonight if you can’t get enough One Hanson gawking. Update: A reader alerted us to the fact that these aren’t the actual penthouse units, though they are in the tower portion of the building. There are three units like this one on the 29th through 31st floors. The actual penthouses are in floors 33 to 36.

“Realtors have already touted it as a sign that the area is about to take off in a big way.”
They sure have. “Realtors” also lie, stretch the truth, fabricate stories, pimp the unknown and genrally talk out of their ass and do anything to sell property.
AY might be a huge sales pitch, but I don’t see how it would help move these penthouses. Anyone who’s ever tried to catch the 4/5 train into Manhattan from there might understand. Even without AY, the trains couldn’t possibly be more crowded.
Maybe they’ll sell the penthouses to someone on the NJ/BK Nets. They would be the only ones in the market for a 4mil penthouse next to an arena.
But the neighborhood is on the brink of a major upsurge. They’ve already put a Buffalo Wild Wings in the mall. Damn those are good wings. Someone tell Oprah.
The little bedroom with its own bath is for the help. If you are rich and have so many children you buy a mcmansion in Connecticut.
I don’t get how this unit is supposed to work for the celebrity or mogul who buys it. Say they want to give a soiree or a dinner party, where’s the prep room? Do your guests look at the backsides of your caterers? This type of layout is great for Mr. and Ms. normal who cook for their guests and have informal family chow-downs, but for elegant entertaining, where the food and hordouvres come and go magically from some unseen source, this layout would not work. It is typical of the “one size fits all” mentality that fails to account for how the truly wealthy like to entertain and keep house. That’s all.
Thats odd. A penthouse without private outdoor space.
Worthless once AY…..
“I’ll bet my last dollar that the buyer of these apartments either doesn’t have kids or they have flown the coop. I see a couple with perhaps a home office”
Are rich people usually barren?
These will be knocked down 30% before they sell…..why would anyone pay manhattan prices for a manhattan style apartment in brooklyn…..surely the great charm of brooklyn lies in the streets and houses that can barely be found across the east river….
“Madison Square Garden ain’t a neighborhood amenity that high end real estate is going to tout in their sales pitch.”
Quite the contrary, AY will be a major sales pitch. Realtors have already touted it as a sign that the area is about to take off in a big way.
