Brooklyn’s First Supertall Hits the Market; Cipriani Residences Coming to Miami

Sales Launch at Brooklyn’s First Supertall Tower From $875,000

The Brooklyn Tower’s sky-high condominiums have hit the market, with prices beginning at $875,000 for a studio and reaching as much as $8 million for a four-bedroom residence. A select number of penthouses are expected to be available for sale later this year. The borough’s first supertall tower is designed by SHoP Architects and developed by JDS Development Group, two of the firms behind Manhattan’s slender supertall at 111 West 57th Street.

The 93-story building features 150 residences with interiors by AD100 firm Gachot Studios, which pair the building’s stunning skyline and river views with custom design elements such as honey-stained white oak flooring and antique-rubbed bronze detailing. Condominium residences start on the 53rd floor and boast 11-foot ceilings, kitchens with graphite matte black and bronze cabinetry, and bathrooms with custom vanities and marble accents. The sales launch also includes a first peek inside the building.

The Brooklyn Tower will offer over 120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities designed by Krista Ninivaggi of Woods Bagot, including three outdoor pools, a 75-foot indoor lap pool, a movie theater with a wet bar, and various lounge and game rooms. An open-air Sky Deck on the 66th floor will feature what may be the highest basketball court and dog run in any residential building worldwide, and the 85th floor will offer residents an exclusive Sky Lounge with spectacular views of Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Bethenny Frankel Unloads SoHo Loft for Nearly $7 Million

The Real Housewives of New York City alumnus Bethenny Frankel has parted ways with her SoHo loft. Listed last April for $6.95 million, the 4,000-square-foot abode has been snatched up by an unnamed buyer, the New York Post reports. 

Frankel purchased the four-bedroom residence for $4.2 million in 2017 and revamped the space a year later by refinishing the wood floors, upgrading the kitchen with marble countertops and lacquer cabinets, and adding some pizzazz to the three bathrooms. The loft also offers a beauty room, a spacious home office, a great room with 11-foot-high ceilings, and an enviable walk-in closet.
