Rental of the Day: One Brooklyn Bridge Park

There was a lot of talk of One Brooklyn Bridge Park putting some of their units on the market as rentals, although we were told during our visit in May that the developer was no longer offering them. It’s still possible to find a rental in the waterfront building, though, through owners looking to lease their own units out. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit, for example, is asking $5,700 a month but has been on the market since the beginning of the year. It’s got 1,442 square feet and “panoramic Brooklyn Bridge views,” according to the listing.

The kitchen is freaking horrible, ugly and every other bad word I can think of. The cabinets are really ugly……
Love the views out the windows, but how are they cleaned from the outside??????
foodster, the units are actually quite efficient. Depending on the size of the unit, they range from 12.2 to 12.6 EER. I am in the same size unit and my May to early June bill was $189 and I keep it quite cool and run the units during the day for my two dogs. Heat is part of the common charges so the units will cost close to nothing to run in non-summer months.
And plenty of people are buying these units. Indeed, the sponsor is no longer renting units.
No one has brought up what the cost may theoretically be to operate the cooling and heating units……My guess, for space this size, your costs are going to be b/t $300 and $400 a month as the units in the wall are highly inefficient.
In fact, during a walk-thru, I took the cover off and shazam! I could see right through the wall!
Short story…..as all have mentioned above, if no one is buying these units, then someone needs to rent them.
I registered simply to respond with outrage at the rental price of this apartment.
Granted there are views of the city and its spacious but almost 6k/month? I question anyone’s financial “savvy” who would pay this amount for RENT.
Or am I completely off base… is this acceptable?
Thanks, Donald. Helpful.
Nomi – there are all kinds of engineered wood floors. Some of which do contain real solid wood, but in thin laminated layers over a composite. I have been in this project, walked on the floors, (which are floating on top of the existing concrete slab and not anchored to it as they are just fastened to each other) and listened to the salesperson tell me about the merits of engineered wood floors and why this very experienced and successful developer chose to use an engineered product, yada, yada, yada. The phrase “hardwood floor” typically means a non-engineered wood floor product.
The developer’s website notes that the kitchen counters are “high performance quartz engineered countertops.” Which is not granite or stone, as the broker listing states.
BTW – My first post was only pointing out that the broker’s specification of in-place products, assuming improvements have not been made to the unit, was not accurate. I was not making a judgement about value.
The floors are not engineered or fake. They are hardwood floors from Junkers.
As for the countertops, they are engineered quartz, and I happen to think they are much nicer than granite. I am so tired of granite and prefer a more environmentally responsible material.
Pete, it’s contagious and you’re showing signs of an infection
darn, I meant ” if contest were against you”.
