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?
“They aren’t in Fort Greene, buying $2mn townhouses.”
You mean $3mn houses. Where have you been?
You’re all snooty a-holes.
10:37. You’re right. All the rich folk are in BH. They aren’t in Fort Greene, buying $2mn townhouses.
10:42,
oh yes, very snooty.
Even snootier than you.
Anyone know what happened with that $4.2 BH listing (that used to be part of St. Ann’s) and was reported in all the local papers to have been sold, but that is now back on the market with BHS?
I truly do not understand the poster that keeps writing that it is hard to get to midtown from Brooklyn Heights. Compared to what? Living in Midtown? Brooklyn Ehights unlike many of the neighborhoods discussed here has conenient subway access on many lines. You can reach midtown on the 4,5,2,3, or R. There is also the A. What are you smoking?
Why does Park Slope try to high Jack every thread?
“I guess you don’t quite understand what sort of wealth we are talking about.”
and that’s not snooty?
Gimme a break about Park Slope appealing to Wall Streeters and about how the commute is so short. First of all every Wall Streeter knows that Park Slope is the most annoying neighborhood in Brooklyn and secondly that the commute sucks.
