A Williamsburg Penthouse Just Reset the North Brooklyn Record at $7.75 Million
The race for the priciest perch on the Williamsburg waterfront has a new front-runner. Penthouse 1B at One Domino Square — the largest and most expensive residence in Two Trees Management’s pearlescent Selldorf-designed tower — is now in contract for $7,750,000, making it the highest-priced sponsor sale in North Brooklyn history. The deal narrowly edges out the building’s own previous benchmark, the $7,450,000 sale of neighboring Penthouse 1A, a sign that the upper reaches of the Domino campus are setting their own market rather than chasing anyone else’s.
The numbers behind the building tell a broader story. One Domino Square is now more than 75% sold, with upwards of $340 million in closed sales to date, and it was New York City’s top-selling building this past May with seven units trading hands in a single month. Earlier this year, Penthouse 3A — the tallest home on the waterfront — broke the Brooklyn record for the most expensive sponsor sale by price per square foot, at $3,313, besting the prior mark by nearly 9%. For a borough long treated as Manhattan’s value alternative, those figures read less like a discount and more like a destination.
Penthouse 1B itself makes the case for the price. The 2,714-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath duplex offers sweeping south and west exposures across the full Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges. The upper-level primary suite functions as a private retreat, with a den and wet bar opening onto 674 square feet of outdoor space, while the ensuite bath frames the view through floor-to-ceiling windows behind a freestanding 60-inch soaking tub. “This home represents the pinnacle of the One Domino Square offering,” said Aaron Goed, Sales Director at Two Trees Management, pointing to demand that has run “particularly strong” in recent weeks.
Designed inside and out by Annabelle Selldorf, the tower wears an iridescent porcelain façade that shifts with the light off the East River, and it sits atop five floors and 45,000 square feet of amenities — an aquatics center with indoor and heated outdoor pools, cold plunge, sauna, and steam room, plus lounges, a chef’s kitchen, and a grilling terrace. A limited selection of homes remains, including Penthouse 3B, a 2,849-square-foot duplex with a 974-square-foot wraparound terrace listed at $5.75 million.
