One Boerum Place gamble pays off with huge lease deal

As Downtown Brooklyn continues to go from a governmental to a residential hub, a rental development appears to have set a record for the highest-ever price paid for a Brooklyn apartment.
The new building, One Boerum Place, has leased its largest penthouse for $27,000 per month, according to Avery Hall Investments, the project’s developer, which provided a redacted lease as proof of its claim.
