Dave Doobinin<\/p>\n<p>One Montague Place will be one of the tallest condo towers in Brooklyn. Courtesy Greg Williamson<\/p>\n<p>One Montague Place, a $550 million development by Landau Properties standing 50 stories, will feature 46 units with prices from roughly $5.9 million when sales launch in 2027. Williamson is its lead broker, along with colleagues Andrew Anderson, Karen Heyman and Casey Heyman. The tower will be completed in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>Standing at 205 Montague St., the project is in Brooklyn Heights, an area close to Williamson\u2019s heart \u2014 because he grew up there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m born and raised in Brooklyn Heights,\u201d he told The Post. \u201cSo this project is personal to me. And it\u2019s also going to be something that Brooklyn has never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project will feature half-floor, full-floor, and triplex residences, all starting at 3,000 square feet,\u201d Williamson gushed. \u201cEach with 600 to 1,900 square feet of private outdoor space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But inside is nothing to sniff at.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe custom-designed kitchens will feature all Gaggenau appliances, as well as wet and dry bars,\u201d he added, \u201calong with all units having at least three bedrooms, and of course panoramic views of the harbor the Manhattan skyline and all the bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A rendering of what\u2019s to come at the building \u2014 such as this loggia that looks out to the city skyline.

Courtesy Greg Williamson<\/p>\n<p>Like his A-list events, Williamson is going all in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be the nicest project to ever come to Brooklyn,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cAnd probably one of the nicest projects to ever come to New York City. Unbelievably spacious layouts, panoramic views and world-class amenities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the latter, those include a BondST restaurant, a 63-foot indoor swimming pool, four padel courts, and multiple children\u2019s facilities and a jazz club.<\/p>\n<p>That jazz club seems to fit right into his background.

Keith Richards, Kate Hudson, Olivia Dean, and Marc Maron are among the artists who have performed there to raise funds and awareness for charitable causes dear to their hearts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite special because the intimacy highlights a different cause, he previously told The Post. \u201cIt\u2019s such an interesting and eclectic audience. It\u2019s almost like this feeling, like you\u2019re walking into an old Andy Warhol party, and everybody is kind of just there for the music, the community, and to have what I would call a smart night, where they\u2019re learning about a great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attendees have included Michael J. Fox, Mariska Hargitay, Susie Essman, Amy Schumer and Jerry Seinfeld.<\/p>\n<p>Williamson at left with Love Rocks executive producers Nicole Rechter and John Varvatos.

Kim Mancuso<\/p>\n<p>Williamson believes that Landau sought him out \u201cbecause Jonanthan (Landau) saw what I accomplished over the last decade with music and impact. We both have shared values regarding giving back and helping the community, and he knew this project was something I was passionate about because it would set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury product in Brooklyn Heights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The music maven sees his passions as interconnecting blocks, \u201cand the through line is bringing the right people together in meaningful and organic ways. Over time, these relationships have compounded into real influence and opportunities across industries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That means Williamson is now being sought out for projects because he can offer access to creatives that most people can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve raised almost $100 million for various charitable causes,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cSo I think for my clients to know that they are being connected to somebody who not only is doing great work \u2026 they know that it\u2019s somebody who they can trust, and that has deep relationships and really brings that level of care and integrity to everything that I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williamson laughed when asked whether he\u2019s going to hit up his celeb contacts to buy an apartment at One Montague Place, but noted, \u201cWhatever happens, has to happen organically.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greg Williamson is an unusual broker and property investor who has managed to meld together his two great&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2854,6748,2499,1023,9,56,63,65,64,1491,3006],"class_list":["post-219616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-beacon-theatre","tag-brooklyn-heights","tag-condos","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
