The Clarett Group Celebrates Grand Opening of Luxury Residential Property
Forté Condominiums in Brooklyn’s Hot BAM Cultural District Offers Tremendous Value and Views
Less than 18 months after breaking ground, The Clarett Group, developer, is now celebrating the grand opening of Forté Condominiums. The luxury property is now offering purchasers the opportunity to close and move in by the end of the year.
Featuring architecturally significant homes with sensational views, Forté offers incredible value in a vibrant and historic brownstone neighborhood. Full two bedroom condominiums are nearly half the cost of their Manhattan counterparts at just $744,000, while full three bedroom condominiums may be purchased for under $1,000,000.
"We are astounded at the views from Forté," said Veronica W. Hackett, The Clarett Group's Managing Partner. "Even we had not imagined they could be this spectacular. You absolutely must see the views to believe them."
Four model homes on the 26th floor of the building have recently been unveiled in celebration of Forté's grand opening. Previews are available seven days a week where potential purchasers can experience first-hand the incredible views that set Forté apart from its competitors.
Also recently completed is the building's large landscaped roof deck atop the 30th floor, a common amenity space where all building residents, no matter what floor they live on, may take advantage of their own piece of outdoor space complete with soaring views of the Manhattan skyline, Downtown Brooklyn and stellar sunsets over New York Harbor.
Ideally located in Fort Greene within the thriving BAM Cultural District, Forté is at the crossroads of some of the most renowned cultural venues in New York City. Over 40 cultural organizations are already located in the immediate area with even more planned to join the neighborhood over the next several years.
"We are extremely pleased to be part of the BAM Cultural District's first new mixed-use project," said Alicia Glen, Managing Director at Goldman, Sachs & Co., an investor in the development. "Forté is a beautiful building that breathes new life into its diverse, exciting neighborhood."
Forté features 108 homes offering private living, with no more than four residences per floor. Homeowners will experience an array of luxuries, from the rich, white-oak hardwood flooring to the expansive windows designed to maximize magnificent, wide-open views. High-speed Verizon FiOs internet connectivity and a washer and dryer are included in every home.
Additional building amenities include a recently-completed 5,000 square foot landscaped street-level plaza, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a 24-hour doorman available to address all homeowner's residential needs.
Gourmet kitchens are designed with a fresh, versatile aesthetic ideal for complementing each resident's preferred style of décor. Features include Silver Cloud granite countertops, sleek oak-strip hardwood flooring and a full-suite of GE Profile stainless steel appliances. Both flat-front Tabu Lolo Pacific wood and high-gloss white cabinetry articulate the current kitchen design trend of contrasting upper and lower cabinetry. Forté's master baths are clad in luminous white Thassos marble and feature Sycamore vanities, Green Mountain slate tile flooring, undermounted sinks and sophisticated chrome fittings by Dornbracht.
Sixty-five percent of the building consists of two bedroom homes with 65% of all homes priced under $1,000,000. Forté residents will benefit from discounted real estate taxes due to a 15-year, 421a Tax Abatement.
Forté Condominiums is a joint venture development by Clarett Capital, an entity formed by The Clarett Group in conjunction with Prudential Real Estate Investors, and Goldman Sachs.
