When this 3,000-square-foot penthouse was a Co-op of the Day in March, it was listed for $4.25 million. Closed on 9/21/09; deed recorded on 9/25/09.

3. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS $3,150,000
1 Pierrepont Street, #8A GMAP
Sure, $3 million+ is a pretty penny, but the sale price for this sprawling co-op seems low given the prestige of the building and its asking price. (We’ve got a call into Brown Harris, which brokered the sale, to find out whether there was behind-the-scenes action not reflected in the public records sale price, and we’ll update this if they get back to us.) The 10-room co-op’s been on the market since last year, and the initial ask was $6,250,000, which was later reduced to $5,500,000. The reader widget guess on it clocked in at $4,764,268. Closed on 9/21/09; deed recorded on 9/24/09.

  1. sorry, I was out to lunch. And thanks for the data/research, Benson.
    This is about what I was seeing although I think a sale on Sackett was off a bit more.
    Anyone else out there want to do research on bldg on your block or bldg you’d be interested it?

  2. Thanks for the data, benson. Two questions:

    1) Do you consider this data set large enough to be of any real statistical significance?

    2) Do you believe we are at the end of the drop?

  3. My sense from recent sales in my cooperative building in Brooklyn Heights is much like benson’s. Prices are off by maybe 6 to 10%. No off-the-cliff stuff. And the units are selling, though slowly.

  4. I live in a brownstone too, 11217, but I’m unequivocal in my love for the way OPP completes the eastern side of Plaza St and the energy it brings to GAP. When I get to be 65 or older I reckon I’ll be pretty thrilled to say goodbye to all the stairs! Btw, the foyer of the building will be a rest stop on the Prospect Heights House Tour, coming up on Sunday October 18.
