Inside the $19.5M Olympia DUMBO Penthouse Featured in A24’s Highest 2 Lowest

With Sweeping Views, Celebrity-Level Privacy, and a Starring Role in Spike Lee’s Latest Thriller, Penthouse B Redefines Luxury Real Estate in Brooklyn

At the Cannes Film Festival this year, Highest 2 Lowest made its high-profile debut. The much-anticipated A24 thriller brings together Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, and A$AP Rocky in a gripping narrative that opens with a cinematic shot of New York City—seen through the eyes of Washington’s character, David King, from a jaw-dropping penthouse balcony.

That sweeping view? Not a set. Not CGI. It’s Penthouse B at Olympia DUMBO, the tallest residential listing in Brooklyn and a rising star in its own right.

A Star-Studded Setting

Perched atop the sail-like Olympia tower in DUMBO, Penthouse B quietly became one of the most screen-ready addresses in the city. Designed by New York-based studio Hill West Architects with interiors by Workstead, the residence is as striking in real life as it is on film. Spanning the entire 32nd floor, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home includes a separate home office and 4,928 square feet of meticulously crafted interiors. Every inch of the residence is designed to impress, from its 552-square-foot private terrace to its enveloping 360-degree skyline views that stretch over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the harbor.

Those views are not just expansive—they’re cinematic. Variety may have been the first to report the film’s use of the penthouse, but real estate insiders have long known that Olympia DUMBO is rewriting the script for luxury living in Brooklyn.

Amenities Designed for the A-List

While the penthouse makes a dramatic statement on its own, the building’s amenities elevate the offering to a league rarely seen outside Manhattan. With over 38,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor wellness and recreation spaces spread across three floors, Olympia DUMBO delivers a resort-level experience in the heart of Brooklyn.

Wellness offerings include both indoor and outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center curated by GRONK Fitness, and a juice bar for post-workout recovery. There’s also a movement studio, spin studio, steam room, and sauna—all designed to support a daily wellness routine at the highest level.

Notably, Olympia features the highest private outdoor tennis court in New York City, offering unparalleled views over the Brooklyn Bridge. For families, the lifestyle extends to younger residents, too. Children have access to a shipwreck-themed outdoor playground, private park, waterpark, and a vibrant playroom—providing a rare combination of sophistication and family-friendly design.
