Is Someone Buying Brooklyn’s Clocktower Building?

Back in February I gave you the video tour of Brooklyn’s Clocktower Building at One Main Street in DUMBO. It was listed at $25 million. While the building itself is almost as amazing as the views it offers, charging 3x what any other condo has ever sold for in Brooklyn is, well, dumbo. Who’s going to pay that? As it turns out, somebody out there is going for it…

The Real Deal reports that the listing is off the market and negotiations are underway. According to them, there is no contract signed yet, as the mystery buyer “is not sure whether [he wants] to buy it or rent it, or rent it and then buy it down the road.” The four bedroom, three and a half bathroom apartment with its incredible views of New York Harbor and the Brooklyn Bridge through four 14 foot glass-faced clocks was created by David Walentas, founder of Two Trees, beginning in 1998. If he gets anywhere near his $25 million asking price it will dwarf Brooklyn’s largest condo sale ($8.495 million) and its most expensive home sale ($11 million). The way it sounds from The Real Deal, it’s only a matter of time…
