New York, NY According to New Empire Corp. (NEC), nearly all condominium units are sold at their new development, 567 Ocean. Since hitting the market in the summer of 2020, 107 units are sold with only one townhouse unit still available. The marketing and sales, which led Brooklyn as the #1 selling building in 2021, have been overseen by Michael Bethoney of Nest Seekers since March 2021.

567 Ocean is a one-of-a-kind luxury residential development in Prospect Park South, Brooklyn. Setting a new benchmark for the neighborhood and offering 108 residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, 567 Ocean boasts a selection of lifestyle amenities designed to serve as extensions of the private residences, and to elevate the overall living experience for residents.

As for the residences, each is an open-concept layout with white oak floors, floor-to-ceiling triple-pane windows, washer/dryer hook-ups, and kitchens equipped with design elements and high-end stainless appliances from Bosch and Summit. Many apartments also come with a private outdoor space.

“567 Ocean has been a tremendous success, clearly, as it has performed exceptionally well as the best-selling building in Brooklyn for much of its sales. Bentley Zhao is a visionary, creating a premier product with highly sought amenities, bespoke interior finishes, and optimal apartment layouts, all in a prime location next to Prospect Park and near express transit options. This combination, offering both luxury and lifestyle, created a premier product that the market absorbed in record-setting speed at record-breaking prices,” said Bethoney.
