How are people affording $5k a month for a studio....in Brooklyn??? That is absolutely insane!!!

[@JordanPeace]

Considering this is a 10-15 minute subway ride from most of the offices in the financial district, this is actually one of the more convenient places for people working there to live. There’s definitely no shortage of mid-to-high six figure salary jobs that could afford a place like this and it’s a pretty compelling option compared to the mostly older buildings with less space or light or modern finishes that you’d typically find in most parts of lower Manhattan that would give you a similar commute time

I remember when we had an 8 day power outage in August in NW Queens in the early 2000’s. I lived on the 16th floor. Not only was it stifling in the apartment, but climbing all those flights was exhausting. Climbing them with groceries and bags of ice to put in coolers I bought so I could have some perishables to eat was nearly impossible. Thankfully l hadn’t adopted my cat yet, because it was brutally hot to leave her there all day. After I moved out, I promised myself to never live so high up from the ground in case of another power outage.

[@samk2266]

8 days? why did that happen?

[@barbstephenson8045]

@samk2266 That was a huge outage in 2003 that started in Ohio and went through many states. There was a software glitch (in Ohio, I think) that prevented info about some lines going down from reaching the people who would reroute the electrical draw. (Personally, I like “aliens” as the cause.)

[@pjj.5649]

I remember that and I live on the 12th floor, that was more than enough. The hallways have no windows so it was hard to tell which floor you were on after walking up so many flights of stairs. A neighbor on the 1st floor lent me a flashlight, when I got to my floor, I was still turned around shining the light on every peephole looking for my apartment. It was hotter than hell. Who would have thought there would be a power outage of that size on the East Coast?

[@Maki-00]

That day, I walked from around 70th & Lexington to Bed Stuy in Brooklyn. It took me 4 hours. Luckily, I only had to walk up to the 2nd floor once I got to my building! 😂

Maybe if Sauron decides to move away from Mordor, he will move in here?

[@Devious_Reviews]

My fear of heights makes me wonder who'd be brave enough to be up to the 93rd floor? Here's a more practical concern: how structurally sound is this thing? Buildings 20 stories tall are known to 'sway' in high winds. Imagine this if there's a torrential storm. Willis Tower in Chicago, IL was reported to move ~3 feet and that chunky building has a thicker base than this one.

[@robertcuminale1212]

I'm impressed! I never thought anyone would ever build anything like this in Brooklyn. I grew up n a 6 family building two blocks from the Queens line in Bushwick. The other side of ST. Nicholas Avenue was Ridgewood. We lived in a fairly modern building that was built with a real tiled bathroom and built in bathtub and sink. It even had a window looking into the back yard. Carpeted hallways and stairs. The front doors had beveled glass. The building was well cared for because the owners lived in it. Rose bushes covered the entire back yard with borders of little flowers. There was a fig tree and a patch of herbs like basil which we picked for cooking. The building was rent controlled and we paid $50.45 a month until 1964 when we moved to Florida. We had very good handpicked neighbors who lived there long term. By comparison my grandparents lived on the next street up. The bathroom was an add-on because it used to have a shared room on each floor. There was a window that opened to the airshaft. My Great Grandmother and her sister used to own the building. After she sold it there was a progression of owners who didn't take care of at all. The apartments turned over constantly with drunks, a prostitute and loudly fighting people. Those apartments now rent for $4,000 a month. The neighborhood has changed. It was originally Dutch, then German. It was Sicilians when I lived there and now it is Hispanic. Many of the people work at the hospital. It used to be Wyckoff Heights but now it is Columbia Presbyterian. $5000 a month for this tower is not a real stretch from these apartments and they are much nicer.

My building has ten floors. And i live on the 9th floor. What's scary is someone cooking and setting fire. Which since I've lived here have been evacuated numerous times. So to many floors for me to escape.😮😮😮😊

[@hermithollow2024]

Wow. Those are beautiful. I’m in pohdunkville and have SUPER cheap rent, but I love a big city especially when you don’t have to go far for your needs. My cute cottage is too big for me. I’ll put it on my bucket list and hope &pray I can do it someday. 😊

Cabrini Green high rise apartment for the wealthy and upper classes. Reminds me of the old movie, “The Towering Inferno”🔥 Where are the smoke/CO2 alarms and sprinklers? 🤔 My personal rule of thumb is to never work, live or sleep in a place where the fire fighters can’t reach me with their tallest ladder.🧑‍🚒🚒

You're right. At $214-$233 per night, it is like living in a hotel! I love the architectural design of the building though. And your reporting is great (as it always is).

[@ladycrystalr-u.s.a]

Very nice. 👍

[@lag767]

Thanks!

[@barbarabrooks4747]

It's an amazing building, but it's very bad to spend this much on something you don't own.

[@farmeunit]

House prices are also ridiculous. Ultimately, owning a house costs more than you think. Maintenance, lawn care, insurance, taxes, etc.. It’s not for everyone. That being said, I would just move somewhere else, lol.

If I'm not mistaken, the Brooklyn Tower features an Art Deco style throughout the building. The lobby was a dead giveaway, and it looked so nice.

You shouldn't there's no reason for the rents being this high in NYC. I know cuz I've lived here all my life.

[@lawlkings]

@@intothebeyond8763 When you have almost 9 million people concentrated into a tiny very limited amount of space where land becomes very rare, scarce, and competitive, then it's going to become a bidding war to get your own space and you're competing against other 9 million people for that space--now you know why it's expensive.

[@lawlkings]

@@Villanelle2 A lot of New Yorkers already know there are cheaper places to live outside of NYC, but the purpose of living in NYC is to experience what the city has to offer and experience it and only going home to sleep and rest; otherwise, what is the point of living in the city if you're just spending majority of your time inside at home?

@Hamburglar83 howdie! How is life in Wicker Park/Bucktown these days? I’ve heard mixed reviews. I may be moving to Chicago in the summer & have previously been to these areas but only for thrift shopping & dining. Also, what are current rents like for a 1 bedroom, newer residence? Thanks if you reply!!

[@amarapindrews3214]

If we have the knowledge expertise and infrastructure to build buildings like this in New York it's worth it being a necessity to accommodate the amount of people, New York should have more buildings like this! :)

[@MK-hh1vo]

This building is down the block from my home. It stands between me and Trader Joe's. The one thing about it that stands out is that during cold, feezing temperatures shards of ice like glass fall from the windows and crash down to the ground below. And that was when the building was half as high and surrounded by scaffolding! I'm not going near that place when freezing rain and snow kicks in!

[@paulerickson2810]

They had the sidewalk closed off last year because of that ice….

[@davidhunternyc1]

Normalizing $5,000 a month for a studio apartment in the armpit of Brooklyn is insane! ... and the windows don't open! Also, at 15:16. Notice the lack of water pressure in the 2 bedroom. I bet the shower barely trickles.

[@eddyraye5825]

My viewpoint exactly. Even the homeless could afford to live there. And just think, while you're in your beautiful apartment , your car is being vandalized by the homeless people that surround the property.

[@bestever102]

You must not have been in downtown Brooklyn for a while. It’s been the norm for years. It’s very expensive

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@bestever102 I'm there all the time. I live in Inwood, where it's still cheaper than anywhere in Williamsburg or Greenpoint. The cost to go to a restaurant there is insane too. We're talking downtown Manhattan prices.

Yep…. NO THANK YOU! I couldn’t do it I’d be so filled with panic & anxiety everyday I couldn’t function. It’s weird I love roller coasters and I even ride the drop tower rides with ease. However you raise me up high and keep me there is something I’ve never been able to do. I’ve never actually been inside a high rise apartment so idk if it would be the same as being up high on something without walls & windows or not but I’m not rushing to find out either.
