As reported in the print edition of this week’s Brooklyn Heights Courier, two buildings and one empty lot on a landmarked portion of Pineapple Street were recently sold for $7.4 million in an all-cash transaction. The two buildings at 71 and 75 Pineapple, which contain 23 vacant apartments and 13 occupied rent stabilized apartments, sold for $5,746,250 ($322 per square foot); the lot sold for $1,653,750 ($250 per square foot). Seems pretty reasonable to us for the location. GMAP P*Shark

  1. From brooklyneagle—->
    The new owners of the vacant lot at 73 Pineapple St., near Henry Street, who also purchased the two adjoining buildings at 71 and 75 Pineapple, have filed a preliminary permit application with the Department of Buildings (DOB) to construct a new 10-unit, 6,984-square-foot, five-story, 50-foot-tall residential building

  2. That looks like a great deal to me. Just a few blocks away from the planned Love Lane development. Development action in the Heights! The North Heights was always a little raggedy but the Nice new St. George and little pockets of development there should be great for the neighborhood and a good investment.

  3. Thanks anon 5:06. I’ve always sort of worked backwards. i.e. think that if a house is worth $500 psf, and new construction costs about $300 psf then land should cost about $200 psf. There aren’t many comps for land sales in ladmark neighborhoods, so I am interested to see them when they come up.

    it depends where you lot is. $250 a builable sq ft is only acheivable in neighborhoods like dumbo, maybe prime williamsburg (but i still think it’s about $50 sq ft high) and the brooklyn heighs. in coblle/boreum hill/ft greene, park slope i’d say $150-$200 is acheivable.
