New Yorkers may soon be seeing more of Italian basketball player Danilo Gallinari.
The veteran forward has just signed a contract for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at One Williamsburg Wharf in Brooklyn, Gimme Shelter has learned.
The news comes amid buzz that the New York Knicks may sign Gallinari to a contract for training camp — 16 years after they selected him as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Since then, Gallinari has played with the Denver Nuggets, the LA Clippers, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Atlanta Hawks, the Washington Wizards, the Detroit Pistons and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Two-bedrooms in the Williamsburg development start at around $2 million. They are generally around 1,155 square feet, and come with two baths, hardwood floors and large windows overlooking the water.
The apartment opens to an entry gallery that leads to an open living/dining/kitchen area with a breakfast bar.
The king-sized primary suite delivers a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with radiant heated Carrara marble mosaic tile floors.
Building amenities include a custom library, a children’s playroom, pet-grooming stations, a screening room and the Williamsburg Wharf Resort and Recreation Club, which has its own concierge and reception area, a pool and cabanas.
In addition, building amenities include a seasonal ice skating rink, a game room, a gym and a basketball court. Car parking and storage are available for purchase. The East River Ferry is just 200 feet away.
The 22-story new construction waterfront building, completed this year, is the first to launch as part of Williamsburg Wharf, a 3.75-acre planned development from Naftali Group, which will bring more than 1 million square feet of new residences, retail and cultural spaces — including a park — to the area.
Serhant is handling sales for the building.
