Too late: Some- one already paid $2.4 million for it. That was the price paid for the 1,300- square-foot penthouse apartment atop the Beacon Tower condominium in DUMBO. You can get that much space, albeit with a lesser view, for under $1.4 million in Park Slope and $900,000 in some other Brown- stone Brooklyn neighborhoods. “DUMBO is the new Tribeca,” gushed Debra Greco, the building’s real-estate manager. All but 14 of the 79 condos had been sold on the eve of Monday’s “topping off” ceremony. The Beacon Tower, at 85 Adams St., is one of several DUMBO buildings developed by Shaya Boymelgreen. Condo buyers will enjoyed a healthy city subsidy in the form of the 421-a tax abatement. Boymelgreen’s son, Zvi, said “the program gives developers a head start to build.
