A contract for a penthouse in Brooklyn’s most expensive building topped a hot luxury market in Brooklyn last week.
The deal was one of 27 signed — 14 for condos and 13 houses — for a total contract volume of $94 million from Feb. 2 to Feb. 8 for homes asking at least $2 million, according to Compass’ weekly report.
The previous week saw 21 contracts signed for a total contract volume of $69 million.
The top deal was for Penthouse B at Fortis Property Group’s Olympia Dumbo. The condo had a last asking price of $17.5 million, down from an original asking price of $19.5 million.
Spanning the entirety of the 32nd floor, the condo has five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, as well as a roughly 500-square-foot terrace.
If the 5,000-square-foot condo closes at its last asking price, it would be the most expensive condo sold on a price-per-square-foot basis, at over $3,550.
Amenities at the building include indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a fitness center with a boxing gym and spin studio.
The 76-unit building at 30 Front Street is roughly two-thirds sold, according to Marketproof.
Along with Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, Elliman’s Jessica Peters and Carl Ekroth of the Jessica Peters Team, Karen Heyman and Casey Heyman of Sotheby’s International Realty, and Elliman’s Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes of the Eklund Gomes Team are leading sales.
The building has sold its units at over $2,400 per square foot, making it the priciest in the borough by a relatively wide margin.
The second priciest contract signed last week was for a Prospect Heights townhouse at 209 Prospect Place asking $6.25 million.
Spanning over 4,000 square feet and sitting on a 130-foot lot, the four-story brownstone was gut-renovated and features four bedrooms and five bathrooms. A full glass real wall on the parlor floor leads to a back deck and garden.
The primary floor comes with custom closets, a separate office space and a curved skylight, while the garden level features a bedroom with an en suite bathroom.
Compass’ Tamara Abir had the listing.
The homes put into contract last week had a median asking price of $2.75 million, spent an average of 111 days on the market and had an average discount of 3 percent.
