We finally took a tour of One Brooklyn Bridge Park and were very impressed with the size, layouts and design of the apartments. After a slow start (it’s the prices, stupid!) the waterfront development has been building some solid sales momentum in recent months. At this point, the building is 44 percent sold if you include contracts that are “out”. After some major reductions last August (when some one-bedrooms got as low as $325,000), prices appear to have found an equilibrium point: mini-lofts and one-bedrooms now start at $480,000, two-bedrooms at $935,000 and four-bedrooms at $2,275,000. The building is currently about 8 percent rented from, though sales are going well enough now that the developer is no longer offering new rentals. With the development of Brooklyn Bridge Park continuing to move along, we suspect the building will continue to be increasingly attractive to prospective buyers.

Jester, there is an entrance at Joralemon and Furman. The “front” door is halfway down the block, and there is another door closer to Atlantic Ave.
What’s with the clunky heating unit in the bedroom? Looks like one of those awful pressed metal covers you find in buildings from the 50s and 60s.
I walked home from the Heights last Friday, checking out River Deli and then going down Columbia St. From Google maps it seems as though Joralemon extends right to 1BBP’s front door, but it didn’t seem like that when I passed by.
Hate the “kitchen.” Are you really going to do anything but heat take out in that?
isn’t the complaint still the huge maint (ie now that we’ve moving a little beyond the price and distance from subway)?
The pictures look nice, but how do the windows get clean from the outside??? With all the traffic there, they must get very dirty.
The kitchen choice in cabinets I am not really crazy about either. I think for the amount of money that is spent on these condos it would be nice if each owner got to pick out his / her own finishes.
….and whats with all these 2 sinks in the bathroom??? i hate sharing a bathroom with anyone while I am in there….. LOL
“If you told me that there would be people willing to pay $325k to live in a small dark apartment hard up against a superhighway with not a store within half a mile and no transit, I’d say that you were crazy.”
Crazy like a fox!!
I mean – people pay double to live in Dumbo btw two bridges in less attractive buildings. So I guess it all boils down to taste.
There are two sides to this building:
The nice section that is on the tour (facing park/river) and the nasty dark section facing the BQE or one of the air shafts.
If you told me that there would be people willing to pay $325k to live in a small dark apartment hard up against a superhighway with not a store within half a mile and no transit, I’d say that you were crazy.
I guess that if you never go out, order in all the time, and never open the window, that the amenities make it worthwhile.
Personally, no thanks.
Agreed – those look pretty damn nice.
