Condo of the Day: Sophia Lofts
What you’re looking at above is the Sophia Lofts, a Williamsburg warehouse on North 9th that recently hit the market. The condo is named after one Sophia Zablowski, who apparently ran a babka bakery out of the building starting in 1915, according to Apartments & Lofts’ marketing materials.

What you’re looking at above is the Sophia Lofts, a Williamsburg warehouse on North 9th that recently hit the market. The condo is named after one Sophia Zablowski, who apparently ran a babka bakery out of the building starting in 1915, according to Apartments & Lofts’ marketing materials. Like the development’s name, the Sophia’s ad campaign emphasizes Ye Olde Williamsburg: The concept of the newly converted Sophia Lofts grew out of a sheer love of timeless architecture and timeless inspiring life imprints. The timeless building (in our opinion, not the most handsome of warehouses, at least from the outside) is being tricked out with an of-the-moment gut renovation; its 11 units will have exposed brick, timber beams, and high-end appliances. Once you get past the treacly sales spin, in fact, the pricing seems fairly reasonable: Units are ranging from less than $500 a square foot to a touch over $800. Who’s checked them out?

Wake Up!
We’re talking about the idiot
you’re an idiot for comparing to Manhattan
lord, you people are ignorant.
Please stop calling each other idiots and stick to objective discussions
it seems according to the aptsandlofts.com and sophialofts.com websites each unit is sold now. wow, in this market that is very impressive. sophia is hot too :). u see her pic?
of course you can compare williamsburg to manhattan. or anywhere else.
if a buyer has a fixed amount they can spend, it is reasonable to think that they will check out different neighborhoods.
also, having live in multiple brooklyn neighborhoods, i can attest that it takes alot less time to get anywhere in manhattan from williamsburg. and, i might add it is way faster to get to downtown locations from williamsburg than either the UES or UWS.
not to mention that the restaurants are amazing. and that the boutiques are now nationally recognized.
Hurray for babka!
BRING BACK THE BABKA BAKERY!!!
–Brenda from Flatbush
I went to the opening, the quality of the construction was very poor and felt cheap. Loud AC units, thin walls, horrible layouts. Not worth the time.
I do believe it’s true, went to the opening last week which was packed. A great gut rehab while keeping many original elements, awesome…. Called back yesterday and the agent told me all but one had accepted offers, many with backups. Wish there were more projects like this.
can’t be true.
2:21 knows everything.
The apts and lofts website has an offer accepted icon next to all but one of these Sophia lofts. Is that really true? If so, it would challenge a lot of the conversation above…
