Is Brooklyn’s most expensive new condo in Gravesend? We’re not sure, but we know Avenue P’s The Venetian has gotta at least be in the running. Curbed reports that the entry fee to nab a unit in the development is more than $1 million, and Flatbush Pigeon has some fresh shots of the under-construction building, noting that if you look at the rendering “long enough, you will see Nero fiddling on one of the balconies.” The condo’s marketing materials say that the structure was inspired by 16th-century masterpieces like Veneto’s Villa Barbaro and Palazzo Porto.

barf. it’s the retarded bigger brother of all those other over the top renovations in that area. For a bunch of religious nuts they sure are into displaying their vanity and wealth.

No, Syrian Jews. This kind of high-end multifamily development caters to the members of the community who want luxury but also want to be able to walk to their temple.
12:14…i guess you’re right. The quality of the construction is quite obvious; inside and out, from the renderings we see here.
I’d take one of these units in a heartbeat over any of the condo junk being touted on this page in any of the “established” brownstone hoods.
from the rendering this building looks to be a brick & stone building….and the quality of construction does seem pretty good.
The building is made of stone.
So this will be for the Russian mafiosi, right?
Johnife: I said I scoped it out from the train platform. I was referring to the aesthetic quality, not the build quality. But I can’t imagine it is entirely Dryvit.
It’s a decent attempt, and I concur with Nokilissa’s comments.
I find this strangely beautiful, although that perhaps is in contrast to the utter carp that has been defacing our fair borough for the last decade.
