"There was no sign of Matt, but he had a huge team of contractors and there were shrubs, decking and huge crates filled with stuff going up in the air to the terrace. We were all waiting for the grand piano to be wheeled out," the resident added.

Meanwhile, another resident described Damon's building as "a little bit of Hollywood dumped in the middle of the more low-key Brooklyn Heights."

"It is the highest building in the neighborhood, so it has unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor and the bridges," the resident said.

Per the outlet, Damon purchased the over 6,000 square-foot penthouse in 2018 for a reported $16.5 million. According to Page Six, the selling price made it Brooklyn's most expensive apartment at the time.
