Prior owner; pursued an earlier, differently-scoped 23-story condo proposal for the same lot that also drew neighborhood opposition before the site was sold to Quinlan Development Group (which purchased it for approximately $17M, per the Project record -- not independently confirmed as the amount Gotham itself received).

Neither documented Brooklyn Project carries a dollar figure independently confirmed as attributable to Gotham specifically -- Monitor Point's ground-lease terms are undisclosed in Hush Street's sourcing, and 130 St. Felix Street's ~$17M figure is Quinlan's stated purchase price, not a confirmed amount Gotham received.
