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.
