Co-Op of the Day: 35 Prospect Park West

35-prospect-park-west-0208.jpg

Considering that another apartment at 35 Prospect Park West in Park Slope was on sale last year for $6,500,000 (did it sell?), the fact that this duplex on the 14th and 15th floors is now asking $4,450,000 shouldn't raise any eyebrows, right? (There's also a lower-floor unit on the market right now for $3,500,000.) The 11-room apartment was originally built as a duplex, so there shouldn't be any awkward post-combination issues to swallow. In addition to the five bedrooms, there are also two staircases. We're not sure the wood-paneling is totally working for us but, whatevs, sweet pad. Think the price will fly?

More Domino Plans

domino-sugar-factory-02e.jpg

In addition to the exterior renderings, Thursday night's presentation at CB1 included detailed plans for the layout of the Domino Sugar Factory. This cross-section shows the ground-floor retail topped by three floors of community use space; for the residential portion of the building that begins on the fifth floor, an interior courtyard will be carved out of the building in order to meet light-and-air code requirements. As you can see from the final image in this series, that won't be such a big deal since the entire interior of the building is basically going to be removed anyway. Because of its original industrial use with huge refining machinery, the building never had the kind of typical floor spacing that would one expect from looking at the exterior window configuration. For all intents and purposes, all that will be preserved in this case are the brick walls. It will be interesting to see how the Landmarks Preservation Commission feels about the Tate Modern-approach to preservation; there's a hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
