History

In August 2015, Tishman Speyer purchased the site, which was next to the A. I. Namm & Son Department Store.^[2] Three lenders—JPMorgan Chase, Starwood Property Trust, and iStar—provided $380 million^[3] in financing for the deal.^[4] The building's facade was constructed in Canada.^[5] The building topped out in June 2019,^[5] and was completed in 2021.^[6] The building is Tishman Speyer's first residential building in New York City.^[7]

Sales for condominiums in the building launched in September 2018.^[8]

The building is part of the larger Tishman-led project to redevelop the former Macy's branch in Brooklyn.

Design

The building's exterior somewhat resembles that of 8 Spruce Street, designed by architect Frank Gehry.^[4] Jeanne Gang has said the building's facade was inspired by townhouses in Brooklyn, many of which include bay windows.^[7] The interiors were designed by Michaelis Boyd, and the units have two possible color palettes.^[9]

Usage

The building is residential, with 480 condominium residences. It also includes 40,000 square feet (3,700 m²) of retail space.^[7] The day care Petits Poussins signed a lease for space in the building in June 2021.^[10]
