Is Brooklyn’s most expensive new condo in Gravesend? We’re not sure, but we know Avenue P’s The Venetian has gotta at least be in the running. Curbed reports that the entry fee to nab a unit in the development is more than $1 million, and Flatbush Pigeon has some fresh shots of the under-construction building, noting that if you look at the rendering “long enough, you will see Nero fiddling on one of the balconies.” The condo’s marketing materials say that the structure was inspired by 16th-century masterpieces like Veneto’s Villa Barbaro and Palazzo Porto.

  1. The Syrian Jewish community is not a new immigrant community. Most of the families came early in the last century to this country and were merchants. Hence, many of the businesses are still based in distribution of wares such as electronics and jewelry, etc combined with good real estate investments. The community generally intermarries and supports their own less well to do, and the money stays in the community. It’s really that simple.
