Closing Bell: Top of the Toren
[nggallery id=”23901″ template=galleryview] To celebrate its topping off and reaching the 50% sales mark (that includes units in contract), there was a little party at the Toren (a Brownstoner advertiser) this afternoon.

To celebrate its topping off and reaching the 50% sales mark (that includes units in contract), there was a little party at the Toren (a Brownstoner advertiser) this afternoon. We managed to thumb a ride on the construction elevator and snap these photos from the roof. Not a bad day to take in the views.

The views are going to be killer, that’s for sure. Now if only there were private outdoor spaces to enhance the experience.
This is indeed the top floor, but there won’t be any apartments or even common roof space there. Just mechanicals and elevator shaft.
Correction
This is the top floor. All I can say, it looks much better in person.
I’m proud to say this is my view minus 2 floors. If I’m not mistaken, this picture was taken on the 31st floor. The 31st floor is the highest cemented floor that is safe to walk.
My view on the 33rd floor shows more of the East River in front of the downtown business district. Even 2 floors makes a difference, trust me. Wish I could have afforded the 37th floor for what I’m sure is an incredible view.
This view should be protected since it is overlooking landmarked status neighborhoods. Though, with respect to Downtown Brooklyn, nothing is set in stone. And that is a good thing, rapid development.
I’m shocked (No I’m Not) we got the same idiots claiming that the building isn’t 50% sold when I went to great lengths to explain to them on the last thread that it is.
76 units in contract, 42 affordable units in contract = 117/240=49.16% in contract
I can explain where StreetEasy got it wrong with sales figures but is isn’t worth it. Trust me figures above are correct.
Toren price points were excellent out of the gate and as a consequence, they are increasing prices every Amendment (5 in total) and showing up arrows as opposed to decreasing prices like other developments in the neighborhood.
These are the facts now you can continue to post bad statistics.
Anyone disputing this total doesn’t have the real figures and for some reason want to diminish the Toren accomplishment to date. What their agenda is is beyond me.
Wonder how long those views will last…
Yeah, funny thing about downtowns…they do indeed mix residential buildings with office buildings.
I don’t see office AT ALL when I see this building…in pictures nor in person.
What’s with the layouts for the 2 bedrooms with the master a door off the living room? That is hardly a luxury design. It still looks like an office building to me — particularly as it is practically in Metrotech. (Of course, Belltel takes some sort of perverse pride in that.)
the building is straight off the hook and a harbinger of more great things to come in downtown brooklyn. these are exciting times.
I agree with you lechacal. I applaud the developers doing something a little different and also appreciate the killer views. I would check out the apartments if I was looking to move.
