Condo of the Day: One Hanson Place, #21GF
How much is one of the nicest terraces in Brooklyn worth? This three-bedroom listing on the 21st floor of One Hanson Place will answer that. As far as we can tell, the outdoor space (of which there is 1,000 square feet) is being priced at about the same level as the indoor space (about 2,500…

How much is one of the nicest terraces in Brooklyn worth? This three-bedroom listing on the 21st floor of One Hanson Place will answer that. As far as we can tell, the outdoor space (of which there is 1,000 square feet) is being priced at about the same level as the indoor space (about 2,500 square feet). The asking price is $3,200,000. Some other apartments on lower floors have been selling for around $800 a foot, which would imply that the indoor space here is worth only $2,000,000 and, by extension, that the outdoor space is accounting for $1,200,000 of the asking price. If one is more generous and says that the indoor space is worth $1,000 a foot because of the high floor, then that lowers the terrace’s implied price tag to $700,000, or $700 a foot. There’s an open house tomorrow from 12 to 1 p.m. for lunchtime gawkers.

Look at the floorplan. Then look closely at the rendering. It isn’t even of this terrace. The number of windows is completely wrong.
“I wouldn’t leave the umbrellas up, though.”
Good thing cause there are no umbrellas. What you are looking at is a computer generated photograph. The terraces look nothing like this in real life. A concrete slab…
Code requires a minimum 43″ (3′-6″) railing, which is what most buildings have (and it what this will have).
As for wind, I’d guess that this would be as windy as any other setback terrace on a high floor. You do get downdrafts, and you are more exposed. I don’t think that makes the terraces unusable, but then I’ve never lived in a high rise with a terrace. I wouldn’t leave the umbrellas up, though.
“What’s with all the posters saying the wind will be too strong? How do you all know this? Are you all meterologists or something?”
Cause I’ve been on many rooftops in the city which are not even 21 stories and the wind (even on a calm day on the ground) is really unpleasant at that height…
What’s with all the posters saying the wind will be too strong? How do you all know this? Are you all meterologists or something?
OMG, you people thought that was A PICTURE!!!????
Come on. If you think the terrace is going to look that nice, you are NUTS!
And yes, the open space (no tall buildings) surrounding One Hanson does indeed make for a windier locale. This is true…
if it’s so windy up there, how am i going to light up my blunt?
tinarina writes “Hanson Place is one of the windiest places in all of NYC.”
Is Hanson Place on some kind of wind tectonic plate that makes it one of the windiest places in all of NYC?
2:22 (#2) – that isn’t a “picture”, it is a rendering, as are all the rest of the images for the listing.
