Yahoo Lifestyle Former Brooklyn Nets Coach Jacque Vaughn Buys a $2.5 Million Condo in Brooklyn’s Quay Tower
Brooklyn real estate sales showed growth year over year at the top of 2024, according to Corcoran. So, it’s no surprise, then, that the borough’s downtown area continues to gain popularity. The business district has emerged as a luxury destination in the Big Apple after 20 years of rezoning and the debut of 22,000 new apartments. Another 8,000 units are on the way, Curbed reports.
One of the area’s high-rise properties, dubbed Quay Tower, made headlines in 2021 following reports that Challengers star Zendaya copped a $5 million condo in the 30-story building. A former NBA coach is now shaking up in the tower, too, after closing a deal for $2.5 million. Jacque Vaughn, the now-former Brooklyn Nets coach who took over after Steve Nash was fired in 2022, has picked up a two-bedroom pad in the 126-unit high-rise. Aside from its hotel-like amenities, the home’s epic views of the Brooklyn Heights waterfront and Lady Liberty are what make it a slam dunk.
