Here are the top three stories in Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO today:

1. Meet Jim Cornell and Leslie Marshall, arguably one of the most successful real estate duos in Brooklyn's luxury market, with extensive experience closing out sales in the Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO areas, as well as other parts of brownstone Brooklyn. They come to the profession from unusual backgrounds–as a former public defender and technical writer respectively. (RisMedia.com)
2. The affordable housing lottery has been launched for 185 units at 90 Sands Street in DUMBO–the former location of a Jehovah's Witness hotel. (New York YIMBY)
3. A new theater in Gowanus, Super Secret Arts, just opened with an innovative new model. Drawing inspiration from streaming services, rather than purchasing tickets to an individual show, patrons buy a $25 monthly pass that gives them access to the whole performance catalogue. (Brooklyn Paper)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
