The penthouse triplex at 1 Main Street in Dumbo

David Walentas’ famous Clock Tower triplex in Dumbo has been pulled from the rental market less than a week after making headlines as the priciest apartment up for lease in Brooklyn.

The 7,000-square-foot spread, which is still listed for sale for $23.5 million, had been asking $50,000 per month. The Post reported yesterday that listing broker and “Selling New York” star Michele Kleier, of Gumley Haft Kleier, was seeking a renter to sign a two-year lease with an option to buy, but she confirmed to The Real Deal this morning that time has already run out for that opportunity. She declined to comment further on her reasoning, but once again, if you want views of the New York Harbor and Brooklyn Bridge through those 14-foot glass-faced clocks, you’re going to have to buy them.

After a nine-month hiatus from the market, David Walentas’ Clocktower building triplex in Dumbo is coming back online with a slashed asking price and a new set of brokers. According to the Post, Walentas has tapped the Kleier klan, of “Selling New York” fame, to market the 7,000-square-foot pad for $23.5 million. Sabrina Kleier Morgenstern, one-third of the Gumley Haft Kleier trio that also includes her mother, Michele Kleier, and sister, Samantha Kleier Forbes, confirmed to the The Real Deal that her family is putting the listing on the market later today and plans to hold a launch party next month to spread the word. The 1 Main Street condominium, which originally hit the market for $25 million in 2009, is still potentially Brooklyn’s priciest ever by a landslide, even after the price chop. [more]

Jay-Z and Ralph Lauren each recently checked out the crown jewel of Brooklyn apartments — a $25 million triplex penthouse at developer David Walentas’ 1 Main Street in Dumbo, the ClockTower Building. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom condo — featured in “Bamboozled” by Spike Lee — is located on the building’s 16th through 19th floors and the listing price is more than twice the highest amount ever paid for a Brooklyn home. The record purchase price thus far was an $11 million home in Gravesend. Through four giant glass-faced clocks, the apartment’s residents can enjoy bird’s-eye views of the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. On the roof, there is a 400-square-foot “crow’s nest” deck. Raphael De Niro of Prudential Douglas Elliman has the listing. [Post]
