This seventh-floor two-bedroom condo at 70 Washington Street in Dumbo just underwent a price reduction from $1,465,000 to $1,398,000, bringing it in line with the asking price on the same apartment on the fifth floor. The $900-per-square-foot asking price is about par for the course in this building right now, though we’re not sure anyone’s actually getting that. By comparison, you can rent a that fifth-floor place for $4,900 a month.

  1. @brokedeveloper: no, that rooftop photo is of the common roof area – not a private cabana.
    All in all, a good building if you like dumbo, but this is indeed a one bedroom – overpriced!
    FYI: I’ve got friends in this building & recently looked at a ground-floor duplex [basement – but HUGE] plus terrace in the same line:

    It’s not my cup of tea & way above my price ceiling but really an amazing pad – especially for the art collectors who live there.

  2. BHO, your math continues to amaze me. With 30 year Treasuries yielding 4.15% how do you come up with a gross yield of 10% as a valuation???

    If you’re going to do math, do it right and figure out the net and add something over the Risk free rate.

    You’re calculations are childish, at best.

  3. If that apartment in the Sweeney Building went for $685 sq/ft, this place ain’t getting $900. Looks like it comes with a cabana, which juices it up a bit. $750 sq/ft max., though probably lower. I call $1.05m.
