Luxury Comes to Gowanus with $8,500 Apartments - DNAinfo.com

Nothing surprises me any more with rents and real estate prices in this area. But $8500/month in Gowanus?  I'll believe it when I see it. 

A new Gowanus luxury building boasting balconies, a roof deck and a part-time doorman will start renting apartments this weekend — and will cost up to $8,500 a month.

The 51-unit building at 202 Eighth St., by Fourth Avenue, will offer studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and three-bedrooms outfitted with sleek kitchens, plentiful windows and oak flooring, according to the development's website.

I suspect this is just a headline generator.  And it worked.
