We noticed additions, probably penthouses, being built on top of the old noodle factory that is being converted into condos at 338 Berry Street, the Williamsberry, in Williamsburg when we stopped by a couple weeks ago. Since sales of the building launched in March, two units have gone into contract. More units went on the market yesterday, as Curbed noted.

New windows have gone in on the side of the building visible from South 5th Street across from the BQE, although much of the building is still shrouded in scaffolding. Inside, the ground floor is totally raw and is being used as staging for the construction above, as is typically the case.

When complete the building will have 63 apartments ranging from a studio at $575,000 to a $4,000,000 penthouse. An 815-square-foot one-bedroom apartment asking $995,000 is in contract. Other available units include a $650,000 studio and a $1,750,000 two-bedroom apartment. Douglas Elliman is handling sales.

Developer Mona Gora-Friedman bought the building in 2005 for $12,000,000 then spent years locked in a legal battle with the artists who were living there. She evicted them in 2012.
