Stribling Closes at 1BBP, Optimistic About Spring
It hasn’t been an easy few months at One Brooklyn Bridge Park (a Brownstoner advertiser), what with the slow sales market and question marks surrounding the future of the park itself, but the 449-unit loft conversion on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront got a little psychological and symbolic boost yesterday with the news that Elizabeth Stribling,…
It hasn’t been an easy few months at One Brooklyn Bridge Park (a Brownstoner advertiser), what with the slow sales market and question marks surrounding the future of the park itself, but the 449-unit loft conversion on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront got a little psychological and symbolic boost yesterday with the news that Elizabeth Stribling, whose eponymous firm is the exclusive agent on the property, closed on her highly-publicized deal to buy two adjacent penthouse apartments for a record-setting $6,600,000. In addition to views of lower Manhattan, the pad has 3,442 square feet of indoor space and 1,900 square feet of outdoor space. Stribling used the occasion to put some positive spin on where we are in the sales cycle: “An uptick in activity is noticeable all over, and certainly at open houses. Prices have come down, and buyers smell opportunity in the air,” she told The Real Deal. Developer Robert Levine is helping the process along by picking up closing costs and helping buyers with financing, though listing price reductions have been few and far between.

you mean the cojones not to walk away from a deposit big enough to buy a house?
You know what they say, large carbon footprint…

sam…is that you???? Is that the sam with the vehemntly large carbon footprint???? LOL
sam, I’m not looking and I don’t like the location (I know you and I disagree on that) so there’s not really a point in looking. Having said that, I’ve been tempted to jump on the 1BBP Shuttle once or twice as it whizzed by me on the weekend.
Good for her!
I can imagine how spectacular that unit must be.

Biff, you should go to an open house at 1BBP if you haven’t done so yet. The units are really nice, I was very impressed.
Hopefully Lizzie won’t mind smelling the exhaust fumes from the BQE for the rest of her life.
