Yikes! Meier Building Listed on Corcoran
Looks like Corcoran has listed Richard Meier’s One Prospect Park tower. A lot of time and effort has been spent to characterize this building as Brooklyn’s premiere address… and the sticker prices do bear that out. So, what do you get for the money? Could that $3 million, 2,125 sq ft, 3-bedroom condo look any more like an airport lobby, neene asks on the Prospect Heights Message Board? An airport lobby with a basement-esque 8.9-foot ceiling, alafairnadia adds?
Well, of course these issues are going to be an issue for you brownstone-entrenched PHers… But locals are not exactly the target demographic, now are they? Consider that One Prospect Park’s “sales gallery,” despite its 718 area code, is actually located in Tribeca.
Cheer up, naysayers… doctorj hypothesizes: “Maybe none of them will sell, nobody will want to live there at any price, an attempt at making it a hotel will fail, and the developer will end up in a bailout with the city to turn the building to a Section 8 tenement.”
