99 Gold (Finally) Hits the Market
After a few delays over at 99 Gold in Dumbo (er, Vinegar Hill), buyers are finally getting a chance to step up to the plate. Or make that free-throw line.

After a few delays over at 99 Gold in Dumbo (er, Vinegar Hill), buyers are finally getting a chance to step up to the plate. Or make that free-throw line. Units at the 100,000-square-foot former toy factory are hitting the market on Thursday. Potential buyers of the building’s 88 residences–which range in size from 672 square feet to 1,550 square feet–will also get a chance to shoot some hoops with Knicks legend John Starks on the building’s private basement court while sipping a glass of pinot grigio at tomorrow night’s opening bash. The standard apartments will start at about $550 a foot, we hear, and supposedly will be ready for occupancy in the Fall.

Postcard from Dumbo [Brownstoner]
I saw 99 Gold this week. I thought the finishes were typical, but it’s weird that construction is still going on. People were supposed to move in months ago and the laundry still isn’t finished…what’s up with that.
99 GOLD has cheap finishes, marble counters are in two pieces with seam line at the sink, no medicine cabinets, pre-fab floors and some of the worst layouts I have ever seen. The bedrooms couldn’t fit a queen-sized bed.
Why are brooklyn people so angry? Is it because they cant afford to live in Manhattan? You people need to chill and be happy that gorgeous developments like this are going up in rather undesireable neighborhoods. Everytime something different goes up in a brooklyn neighborhood everyone not only overreacts, but feels the need to bash it immediately. I think 99 Gold is a fabulous addition to this neighborhood and anyone who is lucky enough grab one of these units will be sitting pretty…
anyone hear any udpates on when 99 gold will be able to get their paper work sorted out and inspections done? any ideas on closing?

Does anyone know anything about the fire. Was it is 2004 or was there a more recent one? I am looking into the building.
Today was my first day checking out developments in any area, so I was in DUMBO and I enjoyed my day. 99 Gold – best one I saw, quality wise and view wise. Worst location. Some of the views are quite fantastic, although I was on the 4th floor – I suspect 2nd floor would suck and I think the views toward the projects aren’t great.
It is 5 minutes walk from the F train. And thats the F train. A guy asked me for money outside the building, but when I told him I didn’t have any (which was true, and I told him while approaching him rather than running away) he was actually quite nice.
That said, fantastic high ceilings, better finishes than in a new Boymelgreen building I saw and a Two Trees building that I saw (70 Wash with crappy bathroom tiles and non soundproof windows)
99 Gold has the worst location. Dead across the street from Farragut. I live nearby and the noise during the summer is at times-criminal. It is also very dirty on Gold street. Tons of chicken bones all over the street from the wings at the Chinese restaurant. Nice finishes but you wouldnt want to spend anytime in your apartment so what difference does it make. Just ask the owners at the Toy Factory, also directly across the street from PJs.
I went to the opening party tonight and the building is actually veeerrry nice. The windows are wonderful and the roofdeck has breathtaking views. Only the 4th floor was open today, but even certain units on that floor had great views. IMO the basketball court is small, but nonetheless cool. I would consider buying in the building (projects and all) if the prices were slightly lower. The units averaged $700/sqft.
btw… Corcoran took the opportunity to advertise their new project (the Vista) a block over (between bridge and gold). The signs are up and with all the incoming traffic to the 99 Gold party… it was certainly noticed. Let’s see how this one turns out.
