Yesterday the sale of the first penthouse unit at the Richard Meier-designed On Prospect Park was recorded in city records; it’s also the second-priciest condo sale yet in the building. The 3,500-square-foot unit PH15S went for $3,971,175; it was asking $3,500,000 $4,100,000. The Observer has more details on the sale, including word from broker Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf about how official marketing of the building’s five penthouse units isn’t going to start until spring but aside from this sale, another is already in contract. This highest recorded sale at OPP so far is an 8th-floor unit that closed for $4,378,475 in early 2009. Update: The StreetEasy link here is for the other penthouse unit that’s in contract.

Thanks DH… I forgot how that works.
don’t worry tybur – rich people live in this building. i’m sure they’re taking that money they’re saving in paying taxes and pouring it back into the economy by creating jobs and supporting local business!!
$516 per year in tax revenue…
“yeah – it definitely looks worse now that some of the units have window treatments.”
Someone should set up a telescope by the arch and sell “peeps”.
“Everyday since then, my opinion of it has gotten worse. Now I think it is plain ugly. ”
yeah – it definitely looks worse now that some of the units have window treatments.
I saw a picture of it lit up and night and it looked beautiful but in the cold clear light of day, I agree with DCB.
And I can’t imagine it would be comfortable to either have people staring in your windows all day or keeping the curtains closed for privacy. My apartment is my comfort zone- as much as I love light (and as an artist i really do), for me it would be too much glass.
I live a block from this bldg and have seen it nearly everyday for 2 yrs.
When it first went up I thought it was great looking, albeit completely out of context.
Everyday since then, my opinion of it has gotten worse. Now I think it is plain ugly.
I bet the owners end up feeling the same way.
This will never be classic architecture.
What I don’t get is this:
“Listed in StreetEasy, already in contract, by Corcoran at $3,500,000.”
Something sounds fishy.
Whenever I look up into the rooms of this building, I think of that website “Unhappy Hipsters.”
