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.

how come it always comes down to something on the syrians????
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.
I love it. Ironically, of course.
Yeah, 2:26 — how do you think? A VAST GLOBAL CONSPIRACY.
Um, probably by working and investing wisely, like most people who do well financially.
By working, 2:26.
Where do all these Syrian Jew immigrants obtain their wealth?
Maybe 1:45, but at least its SOMEthing different.
How do you think grand old New York City pre-wars and most of central Paris came to be? Prague? Florence? I could go on…
Vanity, ego, wealth, whatever. It gives us beautiful varied architecture! Not cookie cutter high rises.
We need more not less nuts displaying their vanity and wealth! Rather that than rich developers and investors interested only in the bottom line and displaying blah, marketed still toward “luxury” condos.
1:45, sorry, I’m having trouble distinguishing which religious and/or ethnic group you’re attempting to bash. Is it the Italian Catholics, Syrian Jews or some other group? Can you please clarify so we can respond appropriately?
umm….your comment 1:45 is just as intolerant as you claim these people to be, if not moreso.
