NBA Star Ben Simmons Asks $17M for His Chic Condo High in Brooklyn’s Olympia DUMBO

Now that Australian-born basketball star Ben Simmons plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, he is looking to score just under $17 million for his bright and luxurious Brooklyn pad. The point guard laid up $14 million for the double-unit spread in 2023 when he started play for the Brooklyn Nets. But, duty calls and the West Coast is now his home base.

The residence sits in the new and notable high-rise Olympia DUMBO, designed by Hill West Architects. Sitting 21 floors up, Simmons’s spacious 5,261 square-foot condo overlooks the city and draws you in with its tranquil neutrals and open spaces. The main wing includes a great room, home theater, laundry room, two bedrooms, and a terrace. The entertainment/guest wing holds two more bedrooms, another kitchen, and recreation space. The primary suite is the apartment’s MVP, with a terrace, ensuite bathroom, and two walk-in closets. Simmons used one of the closets solely for shoes.

The building itself boasts quite a bit of star power and houses Brooklyn’s priciest condo up for sale, which is listed for $19.5 million. It sits between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, offering wide-ranging views of New York City (including Lady Liberty). And, of course, it’s only a couple of miles from the Barclays Center. The building additionally gets points for its deep roster of amenities, which include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, bowling alley, fitness center, juice bar, pet spa, and parking.
