Hot damn. Laurels for the priciest condo sale ever in Brooklyn have just been stripped from Dumbo’s One Main Street and handed over to One Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Times says a humble, 9,486-square-foot triplex at 1BBP (actually five units rolled into one) sold for $8.495 million to a finance guy. “Three of the units, on the building’s 11th and 12th floors, had already been combined by a previous buyer who backed out of the deal after the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008. That buyer was forced to walk away from a deposit of more than $600,000. ‘The original buyers had created a very luxe three-bedroom five-bath apartment with a huge living and dining space,’ said Highlyann Krasnow, the sales director for One Brooklyn Bridge. It was about 4,200 square feet. ‘But this buyer wanted even more square footage, she said. The most expensive condo to sell in Brooklyn prior to this was a $7 million spread at One Main.

“Wall Street Banker ” , “hard earned money” –oxymoron.
DIBS — I really don’t care about the income… it’s the absurd 9,500 sq ft apartment. Friggin retarded.
Must be a Wall Street Banker spending his cash before the President does a much needed clawback. I hope it is his own hard earned money he is spending.
Hannible, I bet he paid cash.
Anyone accepting bets that this is another genious that files for bankruptcy just like those other brains that handed the “greatest” real estate buy in New York history back to the creditors?
Since this guy is within the top 2% of the population from an earning standpoint (and that seems to be tybur6’s criteria) and there are 98% of the population less wealthy, it’s fair guess that there are far more less wealthy and, dare I say, poor douchebags out there.
Denton — When it gets to this ostentatious of a level, I guess he’s already paid the douche bag tax of having to be him. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!
t6, what is the amt of sft that your douchebag tax should kick in? I suppose 100 sft more than your place.
Remember he’s paying RE taxes at the higher apt price, not the single family price, since that’s your pet peeve.
Regardless of if he “earned his money” or if the price per square foot is appropriate… a 9,500 sq ft apartment?! This chap is seriously self-absorbed and ridiculous. He should pay a carbon tax and a douche bag tax.
