BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A BRICK TOWNHOUSE AT 307 Hicks St., between State and Joralemon streets, has sold for $14.99 million, making it Brooklyn’s highest residential sale of the year so far, according to the New York Post. The century-old Brooklyn Heights building features a modern, minimalist interior, five bedrooms and seven baths.
The townhouse was developed by ECKSTRØM, a Brooklyn-based real estate development studio, which purchased the building for $5.1 million in 2024. At that time it was a four-story, four-family building, the Post reported.
“The buyer, we hear, is a Manhattan-based finance family,” the Post shared.
