The 13-story, 82-unit property is built on the site of a former theater and macaroon factory. Adjmi, whose best-known projects in Brooklyn include the popular Wythe Hotel and Townhouses of Cobble Hill, incorporated copper panels from the bakery in the building’s lobby and common spaces.
The exterior of the building makes a modern statement with its geometric shapes and transparent exoskeleton. The roof of the base offers an extensive landscaped area — more than half an acre — that includes cafe lounge seating, a dog run, a fire pit and an outdoor shower.
Rising above the South Williamsburg skyline and visible from the Marcy Avenue J train platform, many of the homes feature 180-degree views. The mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units have industrial mullioned windows, solar shades, white oak cabinets, quartz countertops, glass mosaic backsplashes and Grohe fixtures. There are also washers and dryers in every unit.
In addition to the aforementioned outdoor space, amenities include a lounge with billiards, a conference room, fitness center, yoga room, children’s playroom, a common laundry room with high-capacity units, an indoor pet spa, and bicycle and stroller storage. Storage lockers, individual garden plots, and on-site parking are available for an additional fee.
Blink Fitness and other retailers will have space in the building, which was developed by New York-based Midwood Investment & Development.
Monthly rents start at about $2,675 for a studio, $3,325 for a one-bedroom, and $4,725 for a two-bedroom. One month is included free on a 13-month lease.
The building location near the J line and the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge is going to come in quite handy for residents who have fears of being stranded in Brooklyn by the impending L-train shutdown. The changing area is home to several iconic landmarked buildings, including the recently restored Williamsburgh Savings Bank (now an event space known as Weylin) and is known for its restaurants, including Peter Luger, Diner, Traif and Pies-n-Thighs.
