Brooklyn's tallest building, the 93-story Brooklyn Tower, faces a significant occupancy challenge with only 19 of 143 condos sold. Residents, like Tamara Peterson, wait for incomplete amenities. New landlords, Silverstein Capital Partners, offer perks to tenants but the building is perceived as a luxury ghost town. Experts cite high prices as a major barrier to sales. While concerns persist, some believe the building will eventually fill up, reflecting on the resiliency of the downtown Brooklyn real estate market despite current struggles.
"They've done stuff for us. They know they're not finished."
"It always leaves a stench," Compass broker Maggie Marshall told the outlet, pinning it on sky-high prices.
"It's not like you're going to have a building sitting empty for the next 300 years. It'll fill up; it just depends on what structure, rental or condo."
"If you look at the Brooklyn real-estate market as a whole, downtown Brooklyn is always kind of a fallback to other neighborhoods."
