The converted Beaux-Arts hotel overlooking the Brooklyn Heights Promenade has become one of the borough\u2019s preferred A-list addresses, with Matt Damon purchasing the triplex penthouse for a record-setting $16.7 million in 2018 and Emily Blunt and John Krasinski buying a full-floor apartment the following year for $11 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The building\u2019s backstory runs almost as deep as its celebrity roster. Designed by architect Frank S. Lowe and completed in 1903, the 12-story structure originally opened as the Standish Arms hotel before later being converted into condominiums. The building\u2019s moniker has also appeared in pop culture over the years: its name was famously used as Clark Kent\u2019s apartment building in the\u00a0Superman\u00a0comics, while playwright Arthur Miller referenced the Standish in\u00a0Death of a Salesman\u00a0as the hotel where Willy Loman carries on his affair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More from Robb Report<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/sting-former-manhattan-penthouse-central-220000062.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:RELATED: Sting\u2019s Former Manhattan Penthouse With Central Park Views Lists for $45 Million;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;RELATED&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED: Sting\u2019s Former Manhattan Penthouse With Central Park Views Lists for $45 Million<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"The Standish brooklyn condo for sale\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5c9ea84761d3dc21b2b3a208ad639121.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Standish brooklyn condo for sale<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now another apartment there has hit the market, this time a duplex. The place spans roughly 1,786 square feet across two levels. The main floor sports soaring 12-foot ceilings, huge arched windows, herringbone floors, crown moldings, and coffered ceilings. Designer Patrick Mele handled the interiors, which lean moodier and more layered, with darker paint colors, wallpaper, brass accents, and a mix of old and new finishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the lower level, a 30-foot-long great room stretches across the front of the apartment, overlooking the Columbia Heights neighborhood and offering ample space for separate living and dining areas. Nearby, the kitchen is outfitted with Carrara marble countertops, Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry, and a mirrored backsplash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/jonah-hill-former-n-y-200000425.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:RELATED: Jonah Hill\u2019s Former N.Y.C.
