Sales Launched For New Empire Real Estate’s Six Garfield

Sales have launched for New Empire Real Estate’s Six Garfield, a new ground-up, 12-story, 33-residence luxury condominium designed by the award-winning design practice DXA studio and rising in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

The building, with a custom roman brick façade in warm gray, will feature side-by-side gold-sheathed cantilevers. DXA, which focuses on authenticity, sustainability and innovation in all projects, incorporates the traditional materiality of Park Slope with the industrial imagination of neighboring Gowanus into the new project. Handmade yet refined, bespoke, and natural materials grace the building throughout residences as well as the robust amenity offering.

DXA Principal and Co-Founder Jordan Rogove said, “As a long-time Park Slope resident who once lived around the corner from Six Garfield, I was especially excited for our team to contribute to an impactful era of design sensibility for Brooklyn’s Fourth Avenue, with a building that is both contextual and stand-out in its design. The cantilevers became a key, luminous feature, reflecting light through the gold-sheathing which is repeated and complemented beneath the balconies. We played with patterning throughout the façade and interiors with the offset geometry of the cantilevers and fenestration in the tiling patterns of amenity spaces and residences alike, from elevator banks to bath tile selections.”

Six Garfield is currently under construction, with topping out by end of 2020, and expected occupancy in spring 2021. Six Garfield will offer 33 one- through four-bedroom residences, including some with home office and/or outdoor space. In the initial offering, pricing will start from $715,000 for one-bedroom residences, $1,195,000 for two-bedroom residences, and $1,995,000 for three-bedroom residences. Four-bedroom residences have not yet been released.

Why The Value of Outdoor Spaces Has Increased by 20%

Caroline Fiske

According to Barbara Fox who is the President and founder of the “Fox Residential Group,” outdoor spaces have become more and more desirable since the coronavirus pandemic. Fox also said that “Manhattan residents have appreciated the freedom that private outdoor spaces have provided during the lockdown, and the increased valuation is reflective of that. It has been historically priced at about 25-30 percent of the interior square footage, but we are now seeing valuations of approximately 40-50 percent.”

According to StreetEasy, searches for New York City rentals with outdoor space are up 270% since before the pandemic started. Additionally, apartments with terraces in Manhattan are selling for 5.4% more per square foot than those sold this year before the pandemic lockdown, according to data from appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. 

Residents in Manhattan have appreciated the freedom that private outdoor spaces have provided during the quarantine. They give the ability to just take a breath of fresh air, as an auxiliary workspace, al fresco dining, exercise or just to relax outside of the confines of their apartment. For example, in the past thirty days prices have dropped on at least five hundred and eighty-five properties that include outdoor spaces, they represent 20% of the total.

New York Parks To Live Near That Aren't Central Park

An address along Central Park used to be the ultimate status symbol. But today, on the heels of the pandemic that sent Manhattanites running, the most coveted locations are sought along Prospect Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The city's elite now want park views in Brooklyn.

Take, for instance, Quay Tower, the top-selling new luxury condominium designed by ODA’s Eran Chen with interiors by AD100 firm Marmol Radziner, where stepping outside your front door lands you right at Brooklyn Bridge Park on the Brooklyn Heights waterfront at Pier 6. It's no wonder this building has set a new record for the borough's most expensive residential sale, when a $20M penthouse closed earlier this year. The park location is what sealed the deal for that buyer, and is the biggest reason why Brooklynites and Manhattanites are flocking to the building. Available residences in the building include this gorgeous 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom penthouse with absolutely jaw-dropping views of the park, river and city skyline, available for $6.6M.

The same trend is unfolding at 111 Montgomery, the first full-service luxury condo in the borough’s beloved Crown Heights neighborhood. The brand new building is located right next to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, two of the city’s most important and celebrated landmarks. Homes feature modern finishes designed by Brooklyn-based Mesearch Studio. Buyers are leaving ultra-fancy rentals in neighborhoods like Williamsburg and the Upper East Side to be at this park-side location, which also comes with amazing amenities/perks including a private rooftop terrace, a garden that residents can help plant, a nature-inspired children’s playroom, and a coworking lounge. Homes at 111 Montgomery are priced very attainably, starting at $499,000. Available homes in the building include this $1.29M two-bedroom, two-bathroom with a 312-square-foot private patio.

And then there is One Prospect Park West, which offers true park living, with 600 acres of green space just outside its doors. Originally built in 1925 by the Knights of Columbus, the historic building is being carefully renovated and converted by developer Sugar Hill Capital Partners into a rare residential condominium located directly on Prospect Park, overlooking Grand Army Plaza. The first residential building designed by Workstead, the renowned Brooklyn-based design studio, One Prospect Park West offers 64 residences with over 40 unique floor plans featuring locally-sourced design details that create the perfect balance between pre-war and modern design. Residences frame picturesque views of the New York City skyline and lush Prospect Park while placing residents mere minutes from the verdant urban oasis that provides respite from the busy city.
