NY Post: Spencer Dinwiddie said to "buy"--actually, be "in contract" for--Brooklyn Point penthouse

From the StreetEasy listing

Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie buys highest penthouse in Brooklyn, the New York Post reported 9/4/19. The lead was not as definitive, since "in contract" does not mean a completed deal:

It’s a slam dunk for Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who is in contract to buy a penthouse at Brooklyn Point, Gimme Shelter has learned.

Keep in mind that celebrities don't necessarily like the public knowing where they live, so who knows if the deal goes through.

And, as NetsDaily notes, there's a history of real-estate hype for deals like this, which plug the building but don't actually happen.

A stand-out building

For a short while, this will be Brooklyn’s tallest tower, at 720 feet, but will be eclipsed by the "supertall" 9 DeKalb, at 1,066 feet.

If Dinwiddie does pay at or near the $3,928,545 asking price for the 3BR, 3BA, 1,455-square-foot apartment, he can afford it, having recently signed a three-year contract paying $34,362,144 over that span.

Close to the office

And, of course, he'd be within walking distance or a short ride to the Barclays Center, and a short subway ride or drive to the Nets' practice facility in Industry City.

As a young, single black man, he'd also reframe the purported customer for the unit, which, as shown in the image above from the StreetEasy listing, could be a white family with young kids. Other images, right, do indicate the possibility of people of color.

For the umpteenth time, we're not in Dodgerland any more, where more modestly paid players lived in residential neighborhoods like Bay Ridge and East Flatbush, and took the trolley to the "office."
