“The market seems oversaturated, but I like to use the word oversupplied with my clients so as to not create a panic,” said Marie Bromberg, a Corcoran Group agent. Among the benefits to consumers, she added, is that commission fees, usually paid by renters, are being covered by landlords.

If an abundant supply is undercutting the market, Hub, developed by Steiner NYC and designed by Dattner Architects, may be opening at a tough time, even as it cuts a dazzling figure. Dominating nearly a city block, the high-rise has two distinct sections, one glass and one brick, which are divided roughly along a diagonal.

To maximize views of the Statue of Liberty, Fort Greene Park and Lower Manhattan, 85 percent of its studios and one- and two-bedrooms are corner units. In living rooms, floors are white oak. In baths, they’re black slate. Every unit comes with stacked Bosch washers and dryers.

Amenities, covering about 40,000 square feet, include a 75-foot swimming pool and a lawn-lined terrace with a movie screen painted on a wall, a “modern day drive-in,” as Hub’s marketing materials put it.
