Condo at 30 Front Street leads Brooklyn contracts — again

Fortis Property Group’s 30 Front Street continues to headline Brooklyn’s luxury market.

For the seventh time since the start of February, a condo at the sail-shaped tower, dubbed Olympia Dumbo, placed at or near the top of Compass’ weekly report tracking signed contracts on homes in the borough asking $2 million or more.

Unit 16A went under contract with an asking price of $6.2 million, more than any other home that sold in Brooklyn last week. Spanning 2,668 square feet, the condo has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a split 200-square-foot river-facing terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Amenities at the 76-unit building, which boasts some of Brooklyn’s priciest homes on a per-square-foot basis, include a fitness center, bowling alley, indoor and outdoor pools and a tennis court.
