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.

While the film’s production dressed the interiors, the sweeping views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are authentic — no green screen required.

The building’s amenities span more than 38,000 square feet of facilities on three levels.
Residents can access indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, steam room, juice bar, spin and boxing studios, a bowling alley, children’s play areas, and — timely for the US Open — a rooftop tennis court said to be the highest in New York City. Private parking is also available.
