On Prospect Park: Is Anybody Home?

While the sales statistics online are fairly opaque, the inherent transparency of On Prospect Park can’t tell lies. Walking past the Richard Meier design on Tuesday evening on the way to the NY Times panel at the Brooklyn Public Library, we were struck by how few of the apartments appeared to be inhabited. On a more positive note, this was the first time we’d passed by the finished lobby and we have to say it’s pretty impressive looking if you’ve got a modernist leaning or two.
OPP Floats Some ‘Limited Availability Pricing’ [Brownstoner]
On Prospect Park: Ready For its Close-Up [Brownstoner]
modern glass curtain walls are built with UV filters and other little tricks that mitigate heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. Privacy is controlled with get this: blinds or curtains!
also lower lighting bills…no lights needed in the daytime
actually BH, those large windows will allow for people to turn the heat down in the winter. not to shut it off completely, but it’ll warm up hundreds of square feet nicely.
BH76, you’re exactly right – you have to factor in outrageously high heating and cooling bills once you actually come up with the dough to pay off the big mortgage in that building – hope it doesn’t have electric heat!! Same story at the Plaza (to my mind, OPP is Brooklyn’s equivalent) – a lot of celeb/rich buyers who don’t live there. Must be creepy for the few who call this their full time residence. Location can’t b beat though!!
DUDE THAT IS SO CREEPY. Brownstoner, please don’t do that to my house if you’re ever in the Ft greene area.
Brenda: If I were in the design/construction business, I would be coming up with ways to mitigate all those glass walls. Besides the lack of privacy, the heating and cooling costs will take their toll on anywone who actuallylives there. [The RM buidlings in the village are always empty after how many years? All bought by celebs who do not live there.]
Brenda, you summed it up perfectly.
Any shots of the penthouse(s)? Is Beyonce’ home?

Those Irish carpenters have to work, you know. Gotta pay off those fat American mortgages somehow. They’ll pop in for a couple weeks during their summer breaks.
