Next Goldman M&A Target: Brooklyn Heights?

We got an email a few days ago from a regular tipster who’s always been right in the past so we’re tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. While pointing us in the direction of a recent sale on Joralemon Street, he noted that the buyer happened to be a Goldman Sachs executive. This was, he claimed, part of a trend that’s seen members of the city’s most successful investment bank crossing the East River (more than usual) in recent months to buy a piece of the rock in Brooklyn Heights. Another broker we quizzed, who has several Goldman clients looking in the neighborhood at the moment concurred, said he knew of two Goldman deals that have taken place in recent weeks. The only bank where bonuses are expected to rise significantly this season, Goldman bankers and traders are certainly in the best position to snap up those $5 million-plus houses. Think there’s anything to this “trend” or has it just always been so?
I don’t get it. There are physicians working at Goldman Sachs? WTF is an MD at Goldman?
4:20…most of those places you mentioned are the equivalent of saying we have a macaroni grill, bob evans and a red lobster.
those places you mention are fine.
not good, but fine.
they are the kindof restaurant one would expect in inwood, not in one of the wealthiest enclaves in the city.
Nope, but some decent sushi would be nice.
4:20 three brothers? do you mean 5 guys?
4:05…let me get this straight…MD’s or those making in the millions who live in Manahattan or 10,000 sf spreads in Greenwich are “speechless” when they come to see your house?
hmmm….these guys really do spend all their time at the office then.
i like me a brownstone as much as the next guy, but to be honest, most of the “speechless” kinda places i’ve been to were on the upper east side, tribeca or soho.
brownstones, while lovely…are quite predictable.
Am I the only person who thinks our restaurants in BH are just fine?
If you want really fancy you take a short stroll to River Cafe. Otherwise there’s Petite Marche, Noodle Pudding, Henry’s End, Queen, Jack the Horse, Heights Cafe, Lantern, and others I’m sure I’m forgetting. We also have two terrific diners (for comfort food), three brothers burgers, and Teresa’s. I guess people on this blog want macrobiotic Zen noveau Sri Lankan.
SOOOO pretentious.
Did you fully read the article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/feedarticle?id=7126653
?
Yes I fucking did! Real Estate is FUCKING TOAST!!! It’s OVER OVER and DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I was wondering where The What was. Its been a long thread and we hadn’t heard from you. I was getting worried something might have happened to you….”
Well.. the fine people of this blog told me to find a job. No really, I have been busy with my business.
Oh Look at the Markets now. The FED only cut a quarter point. People are being taken to the wood shed. I very shocked how fast the market reacted to this news. Maybe it over.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
I can’t believe Brooklyn Heights comes as a surprise to anyone in New York. My parents wanted to buy there in the mid-1960’s but couldn’t afford it. To them, it was a posh neighborhood that happened to be in Brooklyn. For anyone that is surprised to find out about BH, they are not New Yorkers and don’t know the city.
maybe they aren’t speechless because of your lovely home, but because of your incredible modesty?
