Brooklyn penthouse in Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ lists for $15M



In Spike Lee’s new thriller “Highest 2 Lowest,” Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky spend as much time above the skyline as they do on the streets of Brooklyn — thanks to a cinematic cameo from one of the borough’s priciest listings. 

The penthouse that appears in the trailer isn’t a movie set; it’s the top residence at Olympia Dumbo, a sail-shaped tower overlooking the East River, now seeking $15 million, The Post has learned. 

Occupying the entire 33rd floor, Penthouse A at 30 Front St. spans 4,266 square feet with ceiling heights up to 13 feet and a private, 498-square-foot terrace.

While the film’s production dressed the interiors, the sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are authentic — no green screen required.

Details include a wet bar clad in Calacatta Vagli Oro marble, a Workstead-designed kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a stone-clad bath featuring twin showers, dual water closets and a freestanding tub.

The building’s amenities span more than 38,000 square feet of facilities on three levels.

Residents can access indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, steam room, juice bar, spin and boxing studios, a bowling alley, children’s play areas, and — timely for the US Open — a rooftop tennis court said to be the highest in New York City. Private parking is also available.

John B Gomes of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.

The penthouse next door, Penthouse B, also made a cameo in the film and was briefly listed in June for $17.5 million before it was taken off the market.

The plot of “Highest 2 Lowest” stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul who is being targeted by a ransom plot. It has already earned a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
