Boasting 360-degree panoramic views across New York City, this new 92nd-floor penthouse is the highest residence in Brooklyn.
The full-floor apartment stands atop the new Brooklyn Tower, which encompasses 143 condos and 398 rentals in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, said Katie Sachsenmaier, senior sales director, Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.
The condos begin on the 53rd floor, and the penthouses begin on the 88th floor. This one, Penthouse 92, is the only full-floor penthouse.
“The building is coming into its own now,” she said. “It feels very busy when you step into the lobby.”
Developed by Silverstein Properties, the building at 85 Fleet Street rises from the historic Dime Savings Bank building, according to a news release.
It was designed by SHoP Architects with interiors curated by Gachot Studios, and it is the borough’s only super tall skyscraper.
Penthouse 92 features custom interiors by Brooklyn-based Susan Clark of design firm Radnor, Sachsenmaier said. “Her selections have made it really beautiful. It feels very warm and inviting.”
Architectural details include 12-foot ceilings, European white oak floors in a custom honey stain, mahogany millwork, bronze detailing and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The eat-in kitchen features Absolute Black stone countertops, an island with seating, oil-rubbed bronze Waterworks fixtures and integrated Miele appliances, according to the listing.
The primary en suite bathroom showcases large-format Honed Breccia Capraia marble. There is also a separate laundry room as well as a wet bar and a butler’s pantry.
The views are spectacular, Sachsenmaier said. “If you’re standing in the living room, you take in the Statue of Liberty and all the way up through Midtown. On a clear day, you can see the planes take off at LaGuardia (Airport).”

Moving around the apartment, you see south over the harbor and then north and east over the whole city, she said.
From the front door, “you’re immediately greeted with the expansive living room and the view,” she said. “It’s really the first thing you see.”
The primary suite features a dressing room, multiple walk-in closets, two bathrooms (one with a cedar sauna) and southwest-facing windows, Sachsenmaier said. “You get those really beautiful harbour views.
The amenities will be ready by the end of summer, she said. A Life Time club will occupy the entire sixth and seventh floors, and an outdoor pool deck wraps around the dome of the bank building.
Stats
The 5,891-square-foot home has four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one partial bathroom.
Amenities
Residents will have access to over 100,000 square feet of exclusive indoor and outdoor leisure spaces.
Fitness company Life Time will manage an array of amenities that include a 75-foot indoor lap pool, outdoor pools, a poolside lounge and atrium, a billiards room, a library lounge, a conference room, a theatre with a wet bar, a children’s playground and playroom and limited off-site parking.

Neighbourhood Notes
Downtown Brooklyn is at the centre of a number of neighbourhoods, including Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights. The tower has access to 13 subway lines, 11 commuter trains, the city’s ferry network and 22 Citi Bike stations.
“You can walk to Fort Greene Park in less than 10 minutes,” and Dekalb Market Hall, which has a Trader Joe’s, a Target and a food hall, is “right next door,” Sachsenmaier said.

Developer lodges plans for a $36 million, design-led apartment building on Edgecliff Road, reinforcing confidence in Sydney’s tightly held eastern suburbs.

Abadeen has lodged plans for a $36 million boutique residential development in Woollahra, marking the next phase of its expansion across Sydney’s most tightly held eastern suburbs.
The proposal, submitted for 101 to 115 Edgecliff Road, would deliver a six-storey building comprising 29 apartments and 50 car spaces on a prominent corner site bounded by Australia Lane and Adelaide Street.
Positioned within walking distance of Woollahra Village and Bondi Junction, the project aims to combine architectural distinction with the convenience of one of the city’s most connected lifestyle precincts.
The development responds to the NSW Government’s low and mid-rise housing reforms, which allow apartment buildings of up to six storeys within close proximity to major transport and retail hubs.
Abadeen said the design incorporates upper-level setbacks and a carefully articulated form to ensure the building remains sensitive to Woollahra’s established character.
Executive Chairman and founder Justin Brown described the site as a natural fit for the company’s long-term strategy.
“Edgecliff Road is a remarkable site close to Woollahra Village and Bondi Junction and exactly the type of well located, tightly held opportunity we seek,” Brown said.
“Our focus has always been to identify, secure and progress sites that deliver enduring value for residents, communities and our investors.”
The proposal follows the successful launch of Abadeen’s Henri House development in nearby Darlinghurst, where construction is now underway.
Chief executive Joe Tack said the strong response to that project reinforced demand for design-led apartments in the eastern suburbs.
“Woollahra is defined by heritage, lifestyle and connectivity, and the Edgecliff Road proposal presents an opportunity to contribute thoughtfully to the suburb’s evolution,” Tack said.
Established in 2000, Abadeen has built a reputation for premium residential and mixed-use developments, with recent projects including KOYO in Crows Nest, ENSO in Neutral Bay and Hampden in Mosman.
The company currently has more than 20 projects in delivery nationwide and a development pipeline exceeding $3.5 billion.
If approved, the Woollahra project would add to a growing wave of boutique developments reshaping Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where limited supply and enduring lifestyle appeal continue to underpin demand.
