Brooklyner is Tallest Building in Borough, Wants You to Move In

The Daily News plotzes today about the Brooklyner:

NY Daily News: Modeled after a 1940s Aspen-style ski chalet, the Lodge has wood paneling, a kitchen, a billiards table and two Skee-Ball machines. In downtown Brooklyn a short walk from Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill, the building has only 140 units left to sell before it’s full. “Its pretty simple; we’re in a great location near just about every subway imaginable,” says David E. Perry, director of sales and leasing for the Clarett Group, a New York-based development firm started 11 years ago by Veronica Hackett. “We also think our amenities are better than our competitors.”

What are the apartments like? Eric Gillin posted this video:

    my grandma sez, “too narrow, once you put furniture in there, you’d feel like you were falling over each other.”

    i say, “looks like the whole place was put together with an IKEA hex key”.

    Yep. It’s tall. I guess that’s its selling point. So let’s see, $2,400 for a one bedroom under 700 square feet. Is that a deal? I guess that depends on how big of a sucker you are.

    A woman jumped from the building to her death a few months ago.
