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?
yeah, hipsters don’t troll blogs and say bushwick is the best nabe in the tri state area
Maybe we could wall in all of Park Slope and let them torment themselves to death.
What does Park Slope have besides nice, old architecture. The restaurants are for the most part terrible and the bars are filled with people FROM Park Slope, which makes them bad.
I would even go out on a limb and say i prefer hipsters over park slopers. and that’s saying alot!
I think most Park Slopers would prefer it, 12:42.
The animosity and name-calling of the neighborhood and people is really the epitome of child-like and immature behavior.
Park Slope would continue to do just fine if voted off the island, as you say.
Clearly your mind revolves around reality television.
Says a lot.
agreed
well said 12:43
It is so true that Park Slopers high jack every thread. No matter what the topic, they somehow manage to insert something about their HELLISH neighborhood (i.e., bankers also like PS! or: why would you pay 800,000 for a brownstone in BedStuy when you can get a 2 bedroom condo in PARK SLOPE???), based on the premise that everyone secretly longs to live in PS, then spend the rest of the day lying about the commute time and talking about how wonderful and creative the community is.
