NYC’s Largest Mass Timber Development, Timber House, Approaches Sellout

In Brooklyn’s tree-lined Park Slope neighborhood, a 14-residence condominium building dubbed Timber House has sold all but one of its distinguished homes. Located at 670 Union Street, Timber House is the city’s largest mass timber project (by height and square footage) and its first mass timber condominium building. This project is co-developed by The Brooklyn Home Company and MESH Architectures. The building is also designed with passive-house principles and offers a mix of studios through three bedrooms, with prices starting at $595,000.

Listed at $3.2 million, Unit 4A is the last home up for grabs and features three bedrooms spanning more than 2,000 square feet. The residence boasts 11-foot-high, wood-beamed ceilings and pine floors, along with floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome a plethora of natural light, an open kitchen with a 28-foot-long kitchen island, appliances by Bosch and Gaggenau, and custom hexagonal floor tiles. 

Amenities at Timber House include private storage units for each residence, a furnished roof deck with views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines, and on-site parking for purchase, with charging stations for electric vehicles.

Palm Beach Penthouse Designed by Maya Lin Seeks $26.5 Million

A nearly 5,000-square-foot penthouse in Palm Beach, Florida, has hit the market with an astounding $26.5 million price tag, putting it on track to set a sales record for the town, reports Mansion Global.

The four-bedroom abode is quite special, as it was meticulously designed by renowned architect and sculptor Maya Lin as a gift to her in-laws—the apartment’s former owners—the late Erving and Joyce Wolf. The oceanfront home displays a “sophisticated, contemporary-style” aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling windows, nine-foot-high ceilings, walnut floors, and a 1,300-square-foot terrace with sweeping views. 

Dana Koch of the Corcoran Group, who is marketing the property with his mother and colleague, Paulette Koch, says the asking price considers the apartment’s size and the scarcity of similar oceanfront homes in the area.
