Condo projects are still a big part of the development picture in the outer boroughs, but Queens and Brooklyn took a step back in the value of its top condo filings this year.

The total projected sellout of the 10 largest projects registered with the state this year in Queens and Brooklyn was $1.06 billion, an 18 percent decline from $1.29 billion last year. It was still nearly triple the $384 million total of the top 10 from pandemic-ravaged 2020, but half of the 2019 sum.

Last year’s list was buoyed by Fortis’ Olympia Dumbo, which blew away all rivals with a $375 million projected sellout. This year’s top project was barely two-thirds of that.

Outside of the top spot, however, this year’s top 10 goes toe-to-toe with 2021’s. There are the same number of $150 million projected sellouts (three) and only one fewer $100 million sellout than a year ago.

Below are this year’s priciest condo filings in Brooklyn and Queens, based on offering plans accepted through Dec. 1 by the state attorney general.

1. 29 Huron Street, Greenpoint | Quadrum Global | $252 million

Amenities for the 175,000-square-foot, two-building development include an indoor saltwater pool, fitness center, playground and coworking spaces.

Sales for the Morris Adjmi Architects–designed project — which got a $126 million construction loan in July — launched in September when broker Ryan Serhant captained a boat party  on the Greenpoint waterfront.

3. 45-30 Pearson Street, Long Island City | Ascent | $155 million

Ascent Development’s 130-unit Greene hit a bump earlier this year when brokerage Modern Spaces sued, alleging the developer canceled the brokerage’s exclusive sales agreement without cause.

Ascent bought eight properties to assemble the development site, spending $33.8 million over four years. In May 2021, the developer landed $48.2 million in construction loans to build the project, increasing its unit volume by 30 percent from initial plans filed in 2019.
