A new Brooklyn penthouse is giving Billionaires’ Row a run for its money and stature — as it has some rarified air.
The topmost unit in the borough’s one and only supertall — making it the tallest home in the borough’s history — is hitting the market for $16.75 million, The Post has learned.
At 5,891 square feet, Brooklyn Tower’s 92nd-floor residence is its only full-floor offering. The sky-high space offers four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and the best view in Kings County.
Its perks are mighty, but nothing compares to the dwelling’s view corridor. The sights extend all the way to Long Island and Connecticut, as well near vistas of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens.
The tower stands 1,066 above street level, with this unit perched at roughly 1,000 feet above ground.
Despite the tony features, it was a rocky road getting here. The Gothic skyscraper, which topped out in 2021, was crafted as a loving tribute to its borough, but dubbed the “Eye of Sauron” by critics.
Its luxury prices looked out of place to longtime Brooklynites, and a reports of pervasive vacancies in March declared its 93 stories of condos and rentals a luxury ghost town.
The tower’s current developer is Silverstein Properties, known for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. Silverstein took control of the project in a $672 million foreclosure deal last summer, seizing the reins from Michael Stern’s JDS Development Group.
The developer tapped Corcoran Sunshine to relaunch condo sales over the summer.
“We feel confident that it represents what Silverstein stands for,” Shawn Katz, President at Silverstein Capital Partners, told The Post. “So the penthouse is ready, we want people to enjoy it.”
Tricia Cole, the managing director of Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, told The Post this 92nd-level penthouse tops out a collection of six penthouse floors. The five floors below are made up of two or three penthouse units that span up to 3,000 square feet.
Cole called the unit “a clean slate” when her team was brought in. Susan Clark, founder of New York-based design company Radnor, was brought in to furnish it.
“You walk into this home, and between the very calming nature of her furnishings and the views that just go everywhere forever, it’s like you’re in another world,” Cole said.
As for reports of always-empty elevators and vacant units collecting cobwebs early this year, Cole said business is good.
“It feels very occupied,” she said, adding that new residents are moving in every week.
Gregg Pasquarelli and his firm, SHoP Architects, designed the tower atop the hexagonal base of Brooklyn’s Dimes Savings Bank. A carefully selected palette of bronze, copper and black stainless steel gave the tower its distinctive, moody look.
Pasquarelli told The Post extensive time was spend redesigning the set of penthouse apartments.
“We must have redesigned them a dozen times, really refining it,” he said.
Pasquarelli said his team crafted the lofty homes for “the Brooklyn buyer that wants the luxuriousness and the room of a townhouse, but not the inconvenience.”
Conveniences throughout the building are still forthcoming, including Brooklyn’s largest Life Time gym location due to open in the tower next year, and residential amenities like a dog run and a swimming pool.
Entry pricing for condos at Brooklyn Tower currently start at $965,000, with residences spanning from studios to four-bedrooms. As for the penthouse’s seven-digit price tag, Cole said the listing’s combination of square footage, views and the tower’s prestige isn’t easy to find across the East River.
“I think anything comparable, in a comparable building in Manhattan, would be probably twice the price,” Cole said.
“The experience itself is over-the-top,” Katz said, “I think it’s a deal.”
