Rendering of One Prospect Park West via Binyan Studios
As the past few years show, Park Slope's rich history has more than stood the test of time. After five years of meticulous work, the Endale Arch in Prospect Park was restored to its former glory and revealing original details like wood paneling and alternating bands of sandstone and brownstone. A top-to-bottom restoration has been announced for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza, as has a $40 million allocation to restore The Vale.
A short walk away, closings have commenced at One Prospect Park West, which went from the Knights of Columbus headquarters to an in-demand luxury condominium. A penthouse that was listed for $6.5 million was the most expensive home to go into contract in Park Slope history, and a small handful of remaining availabilities ranges from $2.35 million for a two-bedroom to $4.595 million for a four-bedroom.

"From the interior arches to the reclaimed heart-pine flooring, we considered how each detail could both nod to the past and endure for years to come." - Ryan Mahoney, Co-Founder and Partner, WORKSTEAD

The prime Park Slope location and amenities like a private art gallery, basketball court, fitness center with movement studio, and roof deck have unquestionably been powerful lures. Another is the interiors by WORKSTEAD, the acclaimed design studio behind the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg and the Rivertown Lodge in Hudson. One Prospect Park West is its first residential development.
WORKSTEAD’s interiors at One Prospect Park West offer a modern interpretation of prewar details, and that comes through especially well in a model unit styled by ASH NYC. Like WORKSTEAD, the firm is best known for its work on chic hotels like The Siren in Detroit and Hôtel Peter & Paul in New Orleans. For this residential project, Andrew Bowen of ASH NYC said in a statement, "At once you will find elements that converse in languages both light and dark, curvaceous and geometric, full and slender." The Knights of Columbus building served as a local hotspot for nearly 40 years after it was built in 1925, and its residential reincarnation may yet become the center of Park Slope society again.
