Yesterday the sale of the first penthouse unit at the Richard Meier-designed On Prospect Park was recorded in city records; it’s also the second-priciest condo sale yet in the building. The 3,500-square-foot unit PH15S went for $3,971,175; it was asking $3,500,000 $4,100,000. The Observer has more details on the sale, including word from broker Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf about how official marketing of the building’s five penthouse units isn’t going to start until spring but aside from this sale, another is already in contract. This highest recorded sale at OPP so far is an 8th-floor unit that closed for $4,378,475 in early 2009. Update: The StreetEasy link here is for the other penthouse unit that’s in contract.

Not a fan of all those columns. Reminds me of the Pompidou center where the guts of the bldg were on the outside. Though not as bad as the bldg on 13th and 3rd. That looks like tobacco road glass shack.
“Guess what? Not all those grandma curtains hanging in your brownstone look terribly chic either. ”
you don’t think this bldg would look better if they had treated the glass to provide privacy, eliminating the need for window treatments and keeping the glass curtain uniform?
just a beef i have with all glass condos – not this one in particular (which is obviously nicer than your average run of the mill bldg)
Sweet looking penthouse. Now if only I can find $18,753.00 in lost-between-the-sofa-cushions change every month…
It looks good to me.
I like it too.
Getting to be some decent deals there(relative to e.g. full service buildings in PS) with the price cuts as well.
Love this building. It’s like a jewel box.
And it’s not even slightly dirty. It’s immaculate actually.
Guess what? Not all those grandma curtains hanging in your brownstone look terribly chic either.
Exactly, Dirty. And don’t you forget it. Seeing these kinds of prices and bidding wars in this still depressed market merely serves to remind we are living in a gilded age with a greater chasm between the rich and middle class or poor since 1928. Actually, I think it’s greater now.
Anyway, I dislike this building as well. Used to think it was rather nice, like a gleaming ice cube, but it’s getting soiled up by curtains and dirt. Now it reminds me of the apartment building on 2nd Avenue and 13th Street in Manhattan a bit. Ugh.
Really? I love this building even though I used to scoff as well. I was wrong. And of course in blog-code, now I am totally right.
From the front where most of the apartments are, it is very private.
I think this whole building is going to melt when it hits 60° tomorrow.
