Glass Beats Porcelain
These two adjacent units at One Prospect Park, Richard Meier’s new project at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, barely differ in size. So why the $250,000 price bump? A series of small differences: 7J, the more expensive of the units, has a breakfast room easily convertible into a small bedroom. It also has two walls of floor-to-ceiling glass—Meier’s signature medium—to 7G’s one, meaning that it’s bathed in light and has two exposures. “In one direction you see all green” into the park, says sales director Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf, “and in the other you see the Statue of Liberty and the harbor.” Even an extra full bath in 7G doesn’t come close to leveling the field.
