The 10 most valuable Brooklyn condo filings accepted in 2017

Condominium development in Brooklyn slowed to a more modest pace in 2017, according to a ranking of offering plans accepted by the New York state Attorney General’s office this year.

Of the 10 biggest projects ranked by targeted sellout on acceptance, just one development was aiming for a price point above $100 million, compared to three last year. The 10 developments are all new construction and scattered throughout the borough, from Greenpoint to Sheepshead Bay.

At the top of the list was the 40-story Greenpoint, a mixed rental-and-condo building and Greenpoint’s tallest tower-to-be, with a projected $165 million pot of gold for 95 apartments. The most expensive by price-per-unit was a seven-story building in Carroll Gardens, where developers Avery Hall and Aria Development are hoping for a $53 million sellout for 17 apartments.

Here is the full list of the most valuable condo offering plans accepted by the AG in 2017:
