luxury ghost town<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe tower\u2019s current developer is Silverstein Properties, known for the\u00a0rebuilding 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\u2019s JDS Development Group. <\/p>\n
The developer tapped Corcoran Sunshine to relaunch condo sales over the summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel confident that it represents what Silverstein stands for,\u201d Shawn Katz, President at Silverstein Capital Partners, told The Post. \u201cSo the penthouse is ready, we want people to enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
Cole called the unit \u201ca clean slate\u201d when her team was brought in. Susan Clark, founder of New York-based design company Radnor, was brought in to furnish it. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou walk into this home, and between the very calming nature of her furnishings and the views that just go everywhere forever, it\u2019s like you\u2019re in another world,\u201d Cole said. <\/p>\n

As for reports of always-empty elevators and vacant units collecting cobwebs early this year, Cole said business is good.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels very occupied,\u201d she said, adding that new residents are moving in every week.<\/p>\n
Gregg Pasquarelli and his firm, SHoP Architects, designed the tower atop the hexagonal base of Brooklyn\u2019s Dimes Savings Bank. A carefully selected palette of bronze, copper and black stainless steel gave the tower its distinctive, moody look.<\/p>\n

Pasquarelli told The Post extensive time was spend redesigning the set of penthouse apartments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must have redesigned them a dozen times, really refining it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pasquarelli said his team crafted the lofty homes for \u201cthe Brooklyn buyer that wants the luxuriousness and the room of a townhouse, but not the inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Conveniences throughout the building are still forthcoming, including Brooklyn\u2019s largest Life Time gym location due to open in the tower next year, and residential amenities like a dog run and a swimming pool.<\/p>\n

Entry pricing for condos at Brooklyn Tower currently start at $965,000, with residences spanning from studios to four-bedrooms. As for the penthouse\u2019s seven-digit price tag, Cole said the listing\u2019s combination of square footage, views and the tower\u2019s prestige isn\u2019t easy to find across the East River.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think anything comparable, in a comparable building in Manhattan, would be probably twice the price,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe experience itself is over-the-top,\u201d Katz said, \u201cI think it\u2019s a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Brooklyn penthouse is giving Billionaires\u2019 Row a run for its money and stature \u2014 as it…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":453776,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[648,1032,1121,1033,171,5418,19145,4329,10204,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-453775","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-brooklyn","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-luxury-real-estate","14":"tag-penthouses","15":"tag-real-estate","16":"tag-residential-real-estate","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
