Brooklyn is blooming this spring with several attractive high-end options, from Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo to Williamsburg.
Spotlight on Brooklyn With a flurry of massive projects transforming its real estate market in recent years, Brooklyn has become a prime destination, and not a second choice for homebuyers with their hearts set on Manhattan. Towers such as Toren and Oro in downtown Brooklyn, or the light-filled Richard Meier on Prospect Park, offer a host of Manhattan-style amenities. Meanwhile, conversions of existing buildings, such as One Hanson, known to all Brooklynites for its towering four-sided clock and its magnificent vaulted lobby, and the success of BellTel Lofts, bridging Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Ft. Greene and Dumbo at 365 Bridge Street, is further evidence of the strength of the market in downtown Brooklyn. Further afield, The Argyle, a newconstruction condominium in Park Slope on the once desolate 4th Avenue corridor, is nearly sold out. In Williamsburg, new rental buildings, such as 175 Kent, a 113-unit building along the waterfront, are bringing condo-style finishes and fixtures, and even a rooftop putting green, to the burgeoning Brooklyn rental market. Few Brooklyn condo conversions have made the impact that One Brooklyn Bridge Park has already made on the Brooklyn waterfront. Located at 360 Furman Street within the emerging 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, the former printing headquarters of the Jehovah’s
Witnesses is the largest conversion building ever attempted in Brooklyn. It is also the only building in New York City entirely located inside a municipal park. The 438-unit building, located on Pier Six at the foot of Atlantic Avenue, recently passed the 50 percent sold mark, opening up new sources of financing for buyers. Because the building is located on the East River side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and the Brooklyn Height’s Promenade, OBBP enjoys a unique set of Manhattan and bridge views that no other building can match, said Rachel Poggi, director of sales at One Brooklyn Bridge Park. “Facing south, you have an open view of the Verrazano Bridge, all of Red Hook and the lower part of the Harbor, including Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty. To the west, we have direct harbor views, which go from the Statue of Liberty up to the Brooklyn Bridge. Then the north face is the direct Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge view, with the midtown Manhattan skyline behind. The Brooklyn view is a lovely view of Brooklyn Heights and downtown Brooklyn, and it will stay that way because of the landmark status of Brooklyn Heights.” The residents-only amenity package — which includes a fully equipped fitness center, a yoga room, a children’s playrooms, an art room, a music room, a media lounge, 7,000

square feet of landscaped gardens, an indoor virtual golf and driving range, an outdoor putting green, and onsite valet and concierge — is equally comprehensive. The dog run and children’s playground, on Pier Six, are among the best in the entire city. The playground includes a water laboratory, a sand box village, huge slides and swing areas for all different ages. A water taxi for Manhattan commuters is scheduled to begin operations this summer. Another draw is the size of the apartments. “As a conversion building, we had a lot of space to work with,” added Poggi. “Our smallest apartment is a 588-square-foot studio, and the average loft and one bedrooms are more than 800 square feet. Our average two bedrooms are 1,400 to 1,500 square feet — and they all have around 13-foot high ceilings. So they all have a very spacious feel.” The prices start at $455,000 for a studio, and range up to $7.2 million for a triplex penthouse. Just on the other side of the B.Q.E. in Brooklyn Heights is 33 Willow Place, a 25-foot-wide, four-story Fed-
22
eral-style brick town house offered for $3,950,000. Built in the mid-19th century by a Swedish shipbuilder for his family, the town house is on a secluded, one-block-long tree-lined street in the heart of Willowtown, an active community that is the home for the Brooklyn Heights Players. The eleven-room residence — with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three wood-burning fireplaces — also offers an extensive yard and landscaped garden. The parlor floor features original floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and a decorative mantle, and the kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and an attractive antique sink, has four huge windows that overlook the garden and patio. Upstairs are two full floors of bedrooms with original wide-plank floors. There is also a one-bedroom apartment on the garden level suitable for renting, or to use as guest quarters. “The home has a real country feel to it — the baths, the wood burning fireplaces, the huge backyard. It is truly out of Brooklyn’s storied past,” said Rhea Cohen, vice president
and associate broker, Brown Harris Stevens. “The good news is that the buyer would not have to renovate: It is in perfect condition. There are very few brownstones and town houses on the market right now in Brooklyn Heights, and those that are in fine condition, and that reflect the integrity of Brooklyn’s past, are rare finds.” One of the most innovative conversions is taking place this summer in Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), the newly posh neighborhood bordering Brooklyn Heights. At 37 Bridge Street, Kirkman Lofts is a 45-unit condominium set inside the brick factory walls of nowdefunct Kirkman & Sons, the country’s leading soap producer in the early 20th century. Built in 1915, the building featured a network of huge steel silos, each about 22 feet in diameter, which stretched to nearly the entire height of the 60-foot building. The new owners, who purchased the property three years ago, decided to retain as much of the steel silos as possible by incorporating them into the design of the apartments, which range from 839-square-foot stu-

dios all the way up to four-bedroom homes and town houses. The original railroad tracks, which ran through the building during its industrial days, have also been preserved. The apartment prices range from $550,000 to $1.6 million. There are also rooftop bungalows for sale, with panoramic Manhattan skyline views. “The steel silos are part of the active living space, and become a part of the kitchens, bathrooms, entrance foyers and the public spaces. It is really unique,” said Roberta Benzilio, executive director of sales in Brooklyn for Halstead Property. “This was a effort to retrofit a unique factory building and utilize as many of the original parts of it as we possibly
could. Retrofitting is part of the Dumbo look, which is now an historic district, and that is part of the reason it is very sought after. People like the open spaces there, and the industrial/factory-type living. We expect this project will be really welcomed by Brooklyn buyers.” Williamsburg continues to attract its own brand of hip, well-off buyers looking to leave Manhattan. The Edge is a two-tower waterfront luxury condominium development located on a 7.5-acre site between North 5th and 7th Streets. Designed by The Stephen B. Jacobs Group, with interiors by Andi Pepper, who also designed Manhattan’s Hotel Gansevoort and Gansevoort Park
Hotel, the building is noted for its more than 40,000 square feet of amenities, which include an indoor pool that opens up during the summer months and two fitness facilities, one for each building. The building also has a 5,000-square-foot terrace outside the pool; two movie theaters; two lounges; an indoor basketball court; a virtual golf room; a Wii room; a children’s play area; and two saunas, wet and dry. “The concept behind the Edge was to build a high-end product on the Williamsburg waterfront, with amazing views, that was also a green, eco-friendly building,” said Highlyann Krasnow, executive vice president and partner at The Developers Group

and head of sales for The Edge. “The idea was to build a product that was very holistic, and that had everything that you could want within the building itself so you never have to leave. You don’t have to pay for a gym; you don’t have to go to a resort for pool — all of those things are in house. We have a two-square-block site, so we have the ability to offer all these amenities cost effectively because we are spreading out the cost for all of these items over 565 units. Our common charges are actually less than those of much smaller buildings in the same area.” The Residences at the Williamsburg is a luxury condo where owners can avail themselves of the amenities and services of the boutique
24
Hotel Williamsburg on North 12th Street. Those amenities include a landscaped courtyard with cabanas, sundeck, swimming pool, fitness center, restaurant and a rooftop lounge in the hotel. Buyers will also have access to à la carte services in the hotel — which include dog walking, room service and maid service. “Living in this condo building is really like living in a hotel,” said David Maundrell, president of aptsandlofts .com. “About 50 percent of our clientele comes directly from Manhattan — and the Residences at the Williamsburg is more Manhattan than Brooklyn in terms of concept.” Olive Park, another Williamsburg condo, this one overlooking Cooper Park, is a bit more laid back than the
Residences — but still has its own indoor pool and fitness center with a mediation center in the back. “We aren’t where we were in 2006 or 2007, but people are starting to see in Williamsburg and even other parts of Brooklyn that there is an inventory crunch,” said Maundrell. “We are selling a unit a day at our new developments, and the rental buildings are filling up. Over the last two years, a lot of inventory has been absorbed as the market improves. Real estate agents have helped by finding innovative ways to make sure financing gets done. It took time for prices to adjust to where we are today, and now, we are seeing the results.” ¯

Best Places to Live: Long Island Long Island is a quilt of niches and micro-niches, each with its own take on waterfront living. With its curved façade and attended atrium lobby with a dramatic two-story waterfall, the Aqua — a boutique eight-story luxury condominium just off the boardwalk in Long Beach — brings a South Beach sensibility to the south shore. Amenities include a private elevator entrance for each residence, an indoor pool and sundeck, an outdoor spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a 24hour doorman and concierge, valet parking and cabana service. The residences feature bamboo flooring; open kitchens with high-end appliances; marble master bathrooms with whirlpools; and gas fireplaces in the living room. Aqua currently offers two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 1,730 to 2,395 square feet, along with penthouse residences with private rooftop terraces and outdoor kitchens. Prices range from $999,000 to more than $3,000,000. The 36-unit building is 70 percent sold. The level of service and amenity package is uncommon for a building of this size. “This building was designed and conceived in the best of times, and that is why the luxury level of this product is so unusual, and probably never be built here again,” said Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors. “We have multiple homeowners who have the ability to buy anywhere, and they are buying in the Aqua because they understand the quality of construction, the level of service, and the unique and inherent value of an oceanfront property.”

The recovering Long Island market has delayed the sale of many deluxe single-family homes. “We are seeing people move into the building who loved it in 2009, and are now purchasing in 2011,” added Urgo. “They knew it was an incredible opportunity, and now they can sell their own homes and buy here for a better value than they would have received two years ago. This is the perfect time for someone to buy a home here.” At the other end of Long Island is The Highlands Club, the easternmost homeowner’s association community of single-family homes on the North Fork. The club comprises two communities: The Highlands at Aquebogue (44 acres, 79 homes) and The Highlands at Reeves (60 acres, 60 homes). Two miles apart, each has its own clubhouse, pool and tennis facilities — and each has 14 home sites for sale, which range in price from $500,000 to $639,000. Buyers can then choose from among 10 home styles.
The communities are a five-minute cab ride from the Riverhead train station. “With all of the vineyards and organic farm stands, it is quite a different feel here than the South Fork,” noted Jack O’Donnell, president of NuVu Realty, the exclusive broker for The Highlands Club. “We are just 90 minutes from Manhattan — and without the Hamptons traffic. Here, you have your own house and land, but you don’t have to deal with landscaping and snow removal. You also have a clubhouse, a fitness center, a pool and tennis, all within walking distance, and all the beautiful sunsets and sunrises you could ask for. We also have great restaurants here, and the Westhampton Performing Arts Center is just a few minutes away.” Both communities have thrived even during the fragile real estate market over the past two to three years. “Long Island was hit very hard, and there are several developments that didn’t make it,” said O’Donnell. “We have done very well over this time — and that says a lot.” ∏

Emerging Neighborhoods Deborah Lupard, one of the broker co-hosts of “Selling New York” on HGTV, is a top producer in Warburg Realty’s TriBeCa office.
What are the most exciting emerging neighborhoods in New York City? FiDi was on the climb before the decline, and its population has doubled over the past decade. Now, with Condé Nast leasing 85 percent of the World Trade Center, and with Beekman Tower — the Frank Gehry 76story rental building — changing the skyline, people will follow. The least obvious emerging neighborhood is Midtown West. The 7-train extension should be done in five years. There will be a new public school built there and a 26-acre West Side park. And you can’t go wrong with river views like that. So, this is a neighborhood I am keeping my eye on. Next would be Ft. Greene, a tree-lined neighborhood similar to Harlem, with a lot of beautiful architecture and low-rise buildings. It’s desirable for many reasons, including proximity to transportation. It’s also becoming very racially and economically diverse, with many students — which bring youth and life to a neighborhood. The remaining two are Harlem and Williamsburg. The fallacy about Williamsburg is that it’s only for young people. My most recent buyers were not 20-somethings, and they are very happy that I kidnapped and brought them there. And I have high hopes for Harlem. A lot of students and young professionals live there. You can get on the subway at 125th
28
Street, and your next stop is 59th Street — so it is close to everything. Besides lower real estate prices, what makes an emerging neighborhood appealing? The questions that people always ask are, “What is the closest supermarket?”, “What is the transportation situation?” and, “Where are the restaurants?” If you can convince them that they can buy groceries, go out to dinner and get somewhere quickly, you can at least get them to look at the neighborhood. Families also want to know about the schools. Once you bring them to a space that is far superior for the money — more square footage, more light, better views — that brightens them up. There is no such thing as flipping an apartment anymore. If you can say to yourself, “I can be here for 10 years,” that is a good gauge. Your bio mentions your strategy of “integrative bargaining.” How does it work? Here is an example: I was working with a client for an overpriced apartment, and both brokers knew the fair price. It was our job to get both parties to the right price. It is not about winning, or which broker is better. It is about two smart people making a deal happen that is fair. It is not about being a tougher broker, or about negotiating tactics, or waiting the other party out. That is silly. There is a real price, a value, for an
Deborah Lupard
apartment — and that is the price that you should end up with. In a world where buyers and seller have access to the Internet, what is the value of a broker? Brokers are mediators who make deals happen between people. It’s our job to know things about buildings that other people just don’t know. You don’t find that on the Internet. People will say, “Why didn’t you take me to this building or that building.” And then we will tell them why — like, the central air conditioning vibrates the entire apartment. If you look by yourself, you wouldn’t necessarily know that because it’s winter. We learn, and we remember. Our job is to educate clients about the fair price, and make sure that both buyer and seller feel it is a win-win. H
