Berkshire Hathaway introduces small Sunset Park condo with tall-building features
In walking distance of NYU Langone, Brooklyn Army Terminal
Sales have launched for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties’ new luxury condominium at 262 55th St. in Sunset Park.
The condo is somewhat unusual in several ways. The building is four stories tall, not much taller than the wooden-frame houses, row houses and other low-rise structures surrounding it. Located on the west side of the Gowanus Expressway, away from the residential hubs of Sunset Park, it’s a short walk from NYU Langone Hospital and the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
It’s also developed by an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway, the well-known conglomerate holding company led by famed investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties, according to its website, is also handling sales of condo units in DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Clinton Hill, Park Slope, Williamsburg and elsewhere in Brooklyn.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
