John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Join Matt Damon at Brooklyn’s Standish After Splashing Out on $11M Combo Unit

Another celebrity purchase at The Standish in Brooklyn, New York has logged. It seems that Emily Blunt and John Krasinski bought into the building to the tune of nearly $11 million.

The couple is combining two units for a full floor of the high-end condo building. The reports came just days after news of Matt Damon’s purchase of a penthouse unit in the building. That sale set a record in the city of Brooklyn when it sold to Mr. Damon for $16.7 million.

Sales of units in The Standish were brisk. The Columbia Heights building was completed in 2017; just one of the 29 units in it is currently for sale. The building dates to 1903, and was originally The Standish Arms Hotel. Developer DDG paid $60 million to acquire it in 2014.

The representative unit show a balanced approach to upper-end high-rise living, with understated warmth, hints of period charm, and enough flash to satisfy the power set.

The couple presumably closed on the unit about a month after selling their townhouse in Park Slope for $6.56 million. The couple sold that home at a small loss; they’d purchased it in 2016 for $6.6 million.

Emily Blunt starred in 2018’s Mary Popping Returns, which has grossed over $250 million. John Krasinski directed the critically acclaimed A Quiet Place, which stars Blunt; the film grossed $340 million against a budget of $17 million.
