rooklyn’s skyline just gained a new icon: a 92‑floor, 1,066‑foot tower that crowned its borough with a supertall in 2021. The topmost unit, a full‑floor penthouse of 5,891 sq ft, is now listed for $16.75 million, making it the tallest home ever built in Brooklyn. With four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a panoramic corridor that sweeps from Long Island and Connecticut to Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, the space offers an unrivaled view.

    The tower, once dubbed the “Eye of Sauron” by critics, was designed by SHoP Architects and built on the hexagonal footprint of the former Dimes Savings Bank. Its façade of bronze, copper, and black stainless steel gives it a moody, distinctive look. The penthouse sits roughly 1,000 ft above ground, a height that places it above the city’s most iconic vistas.

    Silverstein Properties, known for the World Trade Center’s redevelopment, acquired the project in a $672 million foreclosure deal last summer, taking over from Michael Stern’s JDS Development Group. The developer partnered with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing to relaunch condo sales. “We’re confident this reflects what Silverstein stands for,” said Shawn Katz, president of Silverstein Capital Partners. “The penthouse is ready, and we want people to enjoy it.”

    Tricia Cole, managing director at Corcoran Sunshine, described the 92nd‑floor unit as a “clean slate.” She brought in Susan Clark of Radnor to furnish the space, creating a calming environment that feels almost otherworldly. The penthouse is one of six on the top floor; the five floors below contain two or three units each, ranging up to 3,000 sq ft. Despite early reports of vacant elevators and empty units, Cole reports the building is now well‑occupied, with new residents moving in weekly.

    The tower’s amenities are still expanding. A Life Time gym, the largest in Brooklyn, is slated to open next year, along with a dog run and a swimming pool. Condo prices in the building start at $965,000, covering studios to four‑bedroom units. The penthouse’s price reflects its size, views, and prestige—Cole notes that a comparable Manhattan building would likely cost twice as much.

    “Anything comparable in Manhattan would probably be double the price,” Cole said. “The experience itself is over‑the‑top.” Katz echoed that sentiment, calling the deal a “deal.”
