As we’ve noted before, Ben Simmons is big into real estate and now that taste has extended to Brooklyn. After unloading a manse in Moorestown, N.J. and trying to sell another in the Hidden Hills of L.A. as well as a condo in Center City, Philly, Simmons reportedly is in contract for a $13 million residence in The Olympia in DUMBO. It’s a new 33-story luxury tower at 30 Front St., Brooklyn, just across the East River from ESPN’s studios on Pier 17 ... essentially shouting distance from Stephen A. Smith’s booming rants.
The New York Post’s Gimme Shelter column was first to report the news.
