Back in June, we heard that David Walentas was finally putting the clocktower apartment at One Main Street (shown at right under construction earlier this year) on the market. The New York Times reported on Friday that this colossal triplex is finally posted, for $25 million. The Times notes that the highest price ever paid for a home in Brooklyn was $11 million in 2006, and the highest for a condo was $7 million, also at One Main Street, in 2008. Even though the market is in a slump, Mr. Walentas said that the space, a three-floor, 6,288-square-foot apartment with four functional 14-foot clocks, is such a unique home that it will require a one-of-a-kind buyer willing to foot the bill.

I am a Jew, what do I know. Now quiz me about Boro Park real estate. Go ‘head, Dare you :o).
I’d buy it but I think having my friends come over and say “Hey, anyone know what time it is” would get old very quickly.
Anyone know where to find the floorplan?
4 workable 14 foot clocks???…people just have to learn to read the time backwards, or scale themselves out around the front of the building.
Cool space, but not silly money cool space.
…………………..but outside in the cold distance a wild cat did growl
They call me The Snark Knight…
heh. i was thinking more superhero pad than supervillain – total bruce wayne digs.
It would make a bitchin’ supervillain lair.
I actually think it makes a better office space. Would you really want to live there? There are are better places — with great views and outdoor space.
