On Prospect Park: Is Anybody Home?

While the sales statistics online are fairly opaque, the inherent transparency of On Prospect Park can’t tell lies. Walking past the Richard Meier design on Tuesday evening on the way to the NY Times panel at the Brooklyn Public Library, we were struck by how few of the apartments appeared to be inhabited. On a more positive note, this was the first time we’d passed by the finished lobby and we have to say it’s pretty impressive looking if you’ve got a modernist leaning or two.

On Prospect Park: Ready For its Close-Up [Brownstoner]
There’s a second or third floor apartment right on the outside corner that’s occupied – when I walk to the Greenmarket, everyone crossing Eastern Parkway looks up and watches that family eating brunch. I inevitably hear someone say “how could you LIVE like that?” I have to say, it kind of creeps me out too!
Like Snarkslope, I can imagine living in a high-floor apartment facing the park, if I were a multimillionaire — but even then, I have to say, I think I might like my privacy too much to live there.
How can you even think of having a creature in there that hacks up hairballs? On your 3 mil marble floor?
It only works for me if you are on a nice high floor.
Apartment 8F, for example, would be my perfect supervillian lair.
1947 sf of interior space. 1871sf of exterior space. All overlooking Prospect Park.
My fingers are involuntarily tenting just thinking about it.
All I need is a large fluffy cat and an egg chair.
And three million clams.
15-minute drive to Fairway. You don’t, like, expect rich people to walk to that crappy Met food, do you?
“Being as cold and about as welcoming as the Antartic myself, I love the interiors. A clean blank slate. The light must be awesome, not to mention a view of the park to die (or kill) for.”
This from a man with Snidely Whiplash computer wallpaper? The whole blank slate this is attractive and I love lots of sunlight- but with windows this big and open I’d feel like a germ in a petri dish under a hot lamp. Somehow i think the idea of living in a building designed like this can wear thin after awhile.
“not a pool table in the lobby…”
Why not? I’d appreciate a pool table in the lobby. I LIKE playing pool. Besides, there’s retail not too far away and a subway station across the circle.
Webcam on Beyonce’s OPP apartment = megamillions!
Zinka—ok, didn’t realize that. too bad, because retails what that building needs, not a pool table in the lobby…
opp webcam = income stream.
