The red racing stripe-detailed rental building at 281 Union Avenue in Williamsburg began leasing last week. The seven-story development is offering 33 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, BuzzBuzzHome reported. Six listings are up so far, with one-bedrooms from $2,300, two-bedrooms from $3,400 and a two-bedroom, two-bath for $4,500 a month.

The apartments, marketed by Bold New York, feature wide-plank oak floors, large double-glazed tilt and turn windows, central heating and cooling, Caesarstone countertops and video intercoms. Some of the apartments also have balconies and terraces.  The building features a gym, shared work space, onsite parking, bike parking and a landscaped roof deck.

Developed by Alex Brown Realty and Largo Investments, the building also has a 15-year 421a tax abatement. The MDIM-designed building is shaped like a cross, which might be a nod to the site’s former occupant — a Methodist Church — but also fits the wedge-shaped island plot.

  1. I like everything about the inside, accept for those ceilings. Poured concrete floors I’m okay with, but concrete ceilings? That just doesn’t look right.
