On the Rental Market: Brooklyn's Priciest Pad Hits Rental Market for $50,000/Month

Curbed NY - 3 days ago

It's been two months since the triplex penthouse in Dumbo's

One Main Street, known as the Clocktower Building for its

many clock faces, returned to market for $23.5 million, a

slightly less eye-popping price than the $25 million it

was asking in 2009. Now the listing brokers, Selling

New York stars the Kleier crew, are trying a different

tactic: the apartment is officially also on the rental market,

asking $50,000/month. Brownstoner points out that this

would keep the penthouse at the top of Brooklyn's priciest

list, since the next most expensive rental in the borough is

11 Cranberry Street, at only $22,000/month. Still, the

asking rent is lower than the $60,000/month a Two

Trees exec predicted last summer, when a rental deal f

or the 7,000-square-foot penthouse appeared imminent.

Hey, maybe some kind of rent-to-own deal could be

worked out this time.
