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…
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?
11:44, not true. Wall street execs like to keep it real in the hood too, word.
I hate this site.
Every posting gets hijacked by you park slope losers, then by the FG/CH losers with an inferiority complex.
Wall st executives are not in Park Slope. BH and PS are not on the same playing field.
And no, not all executives take a town car. rich people are rich for a reason.
And wall st isn’t 15 minutes from grand army plaza. typical PS LIAR.
Is bergen even considered Park Slope Proper? I’ve always considered it Prospect Heights.
Ran into Jim Grant in Brooklyn Heights this morning walking onto subway. Does it get more uber-rich than that?
“The item here doesn’t mention Park Slope – why are you bringing it up”
You’re right. No one EVER strays from the topic at hand here.
There is absolutly not a single uber-rich Wall Streeter (much less one with the ditzy stereotypical eye-candy wife) living in Clinton Hill and if there is one in Ft Greene they are buppies.
You people are so clueless its not funny.
Maybe because there’s not enough going on in Brooklyn Heights to continue the discussion.
Expensive, beautiful, crappy retail, close to Manhattan.
Covered.

Wall street wife when asked where she lives:
In a lovely former SRO in Clinton Hill, near Pratt -it’s a school of some kind.
We live next door to the most charming rent-controlled families you have ever met”
“PS I don’t think the subways have been reliably running on the weekends in any part of Brooklyn for about four years.”
Well one of the greatest things about Park Slope is that leaving the neighborhood on weekends is not necessary.
I’d say the same for Ft. Greene as well.
