One Prospect Park West Sells Park Slope's Most Expensive Condo

While the pandemic may have pressed pause on sales of trophy penthouses in Manhattan, a new Brooklyn development is leading the charge with a record-setting sale, renewing confidence in the luxury market in the land of the brownstone.

One Prospect Park West, the historic Knights of Columbus clubhouse-turned-luxury-condo in Park Slope that launched sales about 60 days ago, just put into contract the most expensive condo...in Park Slope history.

Asking $6.5 million, the penthouse home is not only the most expensive home on the market in the neighborhood, but also, at $2,000/square foot, the most expensive home to ever go into contract in Park Slope. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a 1,500-square-foot private terrace, the penthouse represents the kind of home buyers are searching for today: enough space for everyone to relax/work/learn from home, private outdoor space, mere steps from a park, and -- of course -- located in Brooklyn. This impressive sale is a strong sign for the borough during the pandemic, in a time when the city’s luxury market has significantly cooled.

Since launching sales this summer, One Prospect Park West has attracted positive interest from the market and racked up a number of deals across a variety of price points. In addition to the penthouse, Residences 3B and 2K also went into contract in October, which were listed for $2.75M and $1.8M, respectively. Buyers are snapping up the building's spacious homes that offer immediate access to Prospect Park, unprecedented skyline views and timeless design.

One Prospect Park West is the first residential development to feature interiors by WORKSTEAD, the renowned Brooklyn-based design firm, and is a rare new condominium located directly on Prospect Park. Originally built by the Knights of Columbus in 1925, the 10-story building served as a lavish hotel and club for members, replete with a ballroom, restaurant, bowling alley, billiards’ hall, indoor swimming pool, club rooms and council chambers. The building is being developed by Sugar Hill Capital Partners.

Invisible Home Hazards You Need To Be Aware Of

Whether you’re living in your forever home or looking to move to greener pastures, your current or future home may be doing you more harm than you realize. A number of things in your home affect you every day, and you might not even realize it. Thankfully, you can take steps to manage these things once you realize how important taking care of them is. We’ll walk you through some of the invisible home hazards you need to be aware of so that you can keep yourself and your family safe from harm.

Radon Gas

You may have heard of radon before—it’s one of the noble gases on the periodic table of elements. Unfortunately, it’s anything but noble. Radon is a radioactive material that rises from below the earth and that can seep into homes from their lower points. Radon is odorless, tasteless, invisible, and the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers.

If you’re building a new home, it’s best to put anti-radon measures in place during construction. If, on the other hand, you’re moving to an existing house, it’s worth it to get a professional radon measurement done. A lot of companies that do this also offer radon mitigation services, a highly suggested course of action to take if your radon levels are too high.

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide might be a little more familiar to you. It’s caused by wood, coal, or gasoline burning and releasing it as fumes. Carbon monoxide is also colorless, tasteless, and odorless. These fumes can even cause death during sleep. Every home should have a carbon monoxide detector running at all times. If you’re burning any of these carbon monoxide fuel sources, such as your fireplace or car, always be sure the area is well ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide building up to dangerous levels.

Mold

There are many different kinds of mold—some kinds more harmful than others—and they can hide in places where you can barely see them. Mold spores can cause several health problems, including allergy development, chronic cough and fatigue, and even immune system damage. Always stay vigilant when you’re looking at homes for anywhere it looks like water is leaking; this is where mold grows the best. There are plenty of mold-killing products to use, and you can call in professionals if you’d like; the difficult part is finding the mold in the first place.

We hope these invisible home hazards you need to be aware of have opened your eyes to the importance of being a little more cautious with your home and any home you may buy in the future. These hazards may be dangerous, but you can manage them to safe levels with a little bit of precaution.

Cohabs The Belgium Coliving Company's 1st US House Opens in Brooklyn Next Month

The Cohabs community in Brussels, which has 488 co-living bedrooms occupied, made it through the pandemic together and now the company plans to do the same in NYC. Their first building in the US will open in Crown Heights Brooklyn this November and they have two more are on the way in 2021 in Harlem, near Columbia and in East Williamsburg respectively.

The first building will be divided into two 7 bedroom houses, with two communal kitchens and two communal living rooms in addition to having a rooftop, gym, storage space, laundry and garden.

The growing global brand, which exemplifies the future of urban living, is coming to New York City with three beautiful and fully furnished houses opening in the next year. Rent begins at $1160 and leases range from three months, to six months, to one year. This first 6,000 square foot, 14-unit community driven space will play host to monthly events, intimate breakfasts and dinners for tenants with the goal of cultivating a strong and dynamic community between cohabitants, while safety is top of mind. Cohabs’ mission is to create a global community through an extraordinary shared living experience and in addition to a life changing mobile app. The demographic of Cohabs overseas is 21-35 year old, single expats and locals alike, who are willing to experiment with coliving and who share similar values, whether it’s growing their food organically, or composting waste.

Unsure about a co-living space in the time of COVID? Rest assure all staff members will be masked and daily temperature checks for employees will take place. Proper air filtration systems are currently in place. The move-in process has been adapted with reinforced sanitary and safety measures. Every Cohabs member will receive a washable face mask to use in communal spaces. And Cohabs goes the extra mile by providing a doctor's hotline for added support and peace of mind.

Take A Look At Thomas Heatherwick's Lantern House

Last week new photography of Thomas Heatherwick's first residential project in North America, Lantern House were revealed.  Designed by Carlos Mota. The photographs provide a first look inside Thomas Heatherwick's striking project nearing completion along the High Line in West Chelsea, and reveal for the first time what the bay windows that line the project's exterior look like from the inside. 

Credit: Colin Miller

Named for its interpretation of the modern bay window, Lantern House is a response to the neighborhood’s maritime warehouses and pairs hand-laid antiqued grey brickwork with industrial metal detailing and a dramatic reinvention of the bay window lining the textured grid exteriors of Lantern House’s two buildings. Uniquely crafted to take advantage of its location, Lantern House includes a 22-story west building and a 10-story east building, joined by a dramatic glass lobby pavilion draped under the High Line.

For the home, Carlos Mota took inspiration from Lantern House's unique architecture, and filled the home with bold furniture and vibrant colors and textures, invigorating the home with energy and character. Carlos took inspiration from an eclectic mix of new and old, pulling ideas and inspiration from multiple eras and designers and furnished the home with a diverse mix of custom, vintage and new pieces sourced from Miami, Paris and New York City. 

Lantern House’s windows are immediately iconic and impacted how Carlos approached the interior design for the home tremendously from color selection to specific furniture pieces and wallpaper selection. The bay windows get even better from the inside with the amount of light, the architecture, and how it frames the outside. The bay windows fill the home with a ton of character and bring the energy of New York City inside.

Lantern House features one- to four-bedroom residences, many with private setback terraces, and an assortment of expansive penthouses. Pricing starts at $1.625 million to approximately $17 million. Related Sales LLC and Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group are the exclusive marketing and sales agents for the development. Occupancy is slated for fourth quarter 2020. The sales gallery is located at 153 10th Avenue

Fashionable Home Trends are Making a Comeback in 2021

By Kiley Morrow

Attention Stuck-At-Home New Yorkers: Are You Bored with Your Space? - Here are Fashionable Home Trends Making a Comeback

Home trends in 2021 are throwing it way back. Back to when flappers reined and glitz and glamour lined the streets of NYC. Fortunately for bored homeowners and retro lovers, vintage inspired decor is making a major comeback. This time around, nobody cares if your decor perfectly matches the decade; instead, the real concern is if you're able to make these looks suit modern furniture and sensibilities.

Here are the top fashionable home trends to bring NYC’s old school character and glamour into your home in 2021.

What Is Retro? What is Vintage?

We're going to be focusing on these two terms, so it's essential to know the difference between them.  Retro is a stylistic choice.  This idea could mean the product was made this year, or it could tell it was made twenty years ago.  Retro things mostly care about appearance, and it didn't matter when they were made, just that they give off the look of a specific older era.

Vintage, on the other hand, focuses on furniture and items that are from bygone eras.  These were constructed when they were still popular and modern styles, and larger or more detailed products rarely last long enough to become vintage.

Both of these are making a massive comeback in 2020, and not in just one way!  The main eras that are in focus right now are the 1920s and 1970s!

Retro vintage decoration.

Retro vintage is a combination of the two and is a popular look to combine for the 1970s aesthetic.  When combined, most looks for this look purposefully faded with time.  Its pale ochres, muted tones in wallpapers, and furniture keep the same styles of the era in fabric.  This effect can be harder for the vivid colors of the 70s, but using the familiar shapes and hues that were popular then can pull it through.

Chic vintage decoration.

This look works better for the 1920s, although it can still work for the 1970s as long as you’re willing to put some work into maintaining it.  Chic is an elegant and stylish fashion term that’s often applied to clothing before anything else.  For the 1920s, that means leaning into the theatrical beautiful sleek lines of the era: tall, slender furniture, slick dark wood or tile flooring, and gold and other metals accents.

Industrial vintage decoration.

This style works for either era- and shows a side of them we aren't often presented in the media.  The great depression was at the tail end of the 20s and forced a lot of design and fashion to move to strict minimalism and industrial styles for many Americans.  In the 70s, there was also an economic crisis that changed style and set up the world for bright colors when money became more comfortable in the 80s.  These decor styles would be essential, minimal, and may encourage less rather than more.

Eclectic vintage decoration.

Eclectic vintage in modern times leans towards the farmhouse look.  In 2020, many people turned to lifestyles like cottagecore that helped them be at peace with the world being out of control.  This style meant baking more bread, enjoying more time outside in their yards, and growing foods from home to avoid going to stores as often.  In 2021 this style is going to evolve some into the interior design of some houses.  Expect a slight farmhouse look to come into play, lots of gingham and cute cluttered rooms of things that make the owners smile.

Shabby vintage decoration.

This style can be fun!  It looks its best when you have retro and vintage pieces mixed, and can allow your home to feel a little bit of the industrial vintage style without having to go so far on the minimalism side.  Shop around for furniture that matches what you like; you can compare Lovesac to different couch brands and find a style that suits your tastes or stop by one of NYC’s many weekly flea markets.  Shabby doesn't mean wrong or ruffed up furniture, just that you have some vintage looks mixed with modern.

Vintage dining room.

A vintage dining room is probably both the easiest and most expensive type of space to achieve.  This style is easy to buy, offering you the chance to layout gorgeous placemats, dishes, silverware, glasses, and furniture to catch the eye.  These vintage pieces are the easiest to find because they never really go out of style, and families took care of them the longest.  Look for details that have design features you enjoy, along with the ability to be used if that's your aim.  You can find gorgeous older tables, but if you want to save money, go for one with a little wear and tear and refinish it.

Vintage decoration.

Vintage decoration isn't for year-round use.  This idea will help highlight the look of your home in 2021.  It would help if you aimed to make the holidays special, using the decor to make your home stand out more and seem festive.  Classic Christmas ornaments, Hanukkah decor, and Halloween fun can be found on sites like Etsy and eBay.  If you aren't sure you want to invest in these or are scared you'll break them, you can buy inexpensive remakes, so if they get shattered, they're only a couple years old instead of fifty or a hundred.

2021 is going to be a year of trying to bounce back and giving ourselves everything we deserve.  It's been a rough year, and the world is hoping that the next one will be easier.  If the retro and vintage looks aren't what you want for your home, don't worry!  It's never a wrong choice to decorate your house in a way that makes you happy.  Find your style, and don't let go!  Just make sure to stick to one theme to avoid clutter, and have fun with it.

Rising over one of New York City’s most rapidly evolving neighborhoods, 111 Varick will offer 100 highly detailed rental apartments with unobstructed skyline and Hudson River views (one of those incredible views pictured below!). These studio, one- and two-bedroom luxury homes are enveloped in an undulating precast concrete façade inspired by the industrial heritage of Hudson Square, bringing vibrancy to one of Downtown’s most visible corners. 

Designed by S9 Architecture, the cutting-edge New York-based firm known for blending the industrial and the modern at projects such as Industry City, Empire Stores, DUMBO’s 205 Water Street and Dock72 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard,111 Varick stylishly reinterprets the industrial aesthetic and classic loft architecture of Hudson Square. The gridded pattern of the façade, coupled with industrially-inspired materials such as glass and precast concrete, echo the architectural character of the former manufacturing and printing district. 

111 Varick’s interiors, from the lobby to the residences and amenities, are designed by Chris Shao Studio. Chris Shao, a rising interior designer who was featured in Architectural Digest while still in design school, is currently tackling high-end hospitality and residential projects around the world while still just in his 20s.
