Talk about burying the lede! You had read through to the second half of an Observer article about the flipping of Brooklyn’s most expensive condo to get to the real juice: David Walentas is planning to put his palatial pad atop One Main Street on the market in the near future, according to Dumbo superbroker Karen Heyman. Walentas’ ask will be way, way, way more” than the $8.5 million price on the one being flipped. GMAP
The Observer article is a little muddled. Walentas owns two penthouses in the Clocktower. He lives in the “middle” one, and has been renovating/finishing the top one to sell. (There are three; the bottom one is the flip apartment of the story.)
If he is selling his own apartment, that would be news; but the top one, with the clocks for windows, has been empty and available for years, although apparently just now going back on the market.
He suggested $25M as an ask for this place back in 2006. Will be interesting to see what they try for now.
