I’d always thought movie homes are characters in their own right. From the Fresh Prince’s Bel-Air mansion to Carrie Bradshaw’s modest abode on 66 Perry Street, where a story unfolds matters. And in Spike Lee’s new film Highest 2 Lowest, Denzel Washington steps onto a Brooklyn terrace that’s so striking, it practically steals his opening scene.
The movie hit theaters last week and arrives on Apple TV+ on September 5. Here’s a look at it:

What makes this Brooklyn penthouse so special?
The apartment sits atop the Olympia Dumbo, the tallest residential building in the neighborhood. The penthouse spans 4,928 square feet across the entire 32nd floor, with five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and a private 552-square-foot terrace looking out at the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline.
Originally listed at $19.5 million, the price has since been trimmed to $17.5 million, according to the Robb Report. The property isn’t on public listings right now, but brokers told CNBC (where you’ll find more photos) it’s still being quietly shown.
Privacy comes baked into the design. The unit is accessible only via key-locked elevator, and three of the bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms. Even the laundry has its own dedicated room, a detail only luxury real estate fans might get excited about.
What amenities do residents get?
The building’s extras feel more like a resort than an apartment complex. Residents have access to a bowling alley, game lounge, spin studio, private locker rooms, an outdoor pool and hot tub, BBQ grills, and even a tennis court suspended above the East River. You can also rent out these spaces for private gatherings, a perk likely appealing to anyone with A-list privacy needs.
There are just 76 apartments in the tower, a ratio that gives it a boutique feel despite its 33-story height. “This view is definitely unmatched, it’s almost like a piece of art,” broker Carl A. Ekroth told CNBC.
