It’s not so weird that a condo in Brooklyn now costs $7.2 million — New York real estate long ago ceased to make sense. That said, it does seem strange to pay that much for a view of 55 Water Street<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It’s Brooklyn as you’ve never seen it and probably never will — unless you’ve got $7.25 million to spare for what is about to become the borough’s priciest condo.<\/p>\n

The flagship penthouse unit at 1 Brooklyn Bridge Park, along the Brooklyn Heights waterfront, will consist of a 4,638-square-foot triplex with breathtaking, 360-degree views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines from inside a state-planned public park.<\/p>\n

But only those with the deepest pockets need apply. The price tag for the luxury pad is nearly double that of the current record sales figure for a Brooklyn condo: $3.8 million shelled out for a penthouse at the Aurora in Williamsburg in January.<\/p>\n

“It will even have a private elevator that goes up to a rooftop terrace so you really feel like ‘king of the world,'” boasted Robert Levine, developer of the complex, which launched sales last week.<\/p>\n

Levine’s “sky house” will feature seven rooms, four bathrooms and state-of-the-art appliances, as well as access to luxury amenities off-limits to park visitors.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
