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.

People who will not buy this apartment:
1. Those with kids
2. Those with a toupee
3. Those with sensitive skin
4. Those who like open spaces
So that leaves, what…about 3 potential buyers in the city?
It will be really windy in that location–Hanson Place is one of the windiest places in all of NYC.
From time to time I’ve been at the top of the bank at the observation deck when they’ve had it open to the public, and can’t imagine it, or any other outdoor space in that building, being usable on a regular basis.
Great views, tho!
I don’t know. Maybe you’re right. I went back and examined the floorplan and I think I was mixing up two spaces. Somehow I had an erroneous cognitive hybrid two apartments: one of the upper floors, which I think has a much higher price tag (4.7?), with this one which has the terrace. The floorplan on this apartment is a little odd and breaks up the living space. And the kitchen is tiny.

Who took that picture? Spiderman?
The problem is that the wind will hit the upper floors and swoosh down like a veratible hurricane even on days that are relatively calm at streetlevel. on windy days, you will need to anchor everything down. This terrace should have a partial greenhouse enclosure so as to make it more usable, but because it is a landmark, that may not be allowed.
not feelin it.
way too expensive for this location.
hate to say it, but i’m much more into the slope pad.
How is this place a show stopper?? I don’t see it.
You can get nicer in Manhattan for less. And given the height of the unit, the terrace is literally unusable because of the wind factor, as someone else has said.
No one with kids will buy it either because that ledge around the terrace is quite low.
So a bachelor? Yeah, I don’t think so…they’ll take Financial District over this.
“Too windy”? I would generally call it a strong breeze.
The outdoor space is fine from April though September, about half the year.
Not a broker, but someone who uses a roof deck higher than this frequently.
I looove the Plaza Street West apartment. When you compare it to yesterdays…1.95 million for 1300 square feet (huh?) this one looks like a downright bargain. Both have high maint. though.
