South Williamsburg, the area not-quite-as-gentrified as the north side of Williamsburg, may soon see its time come with the recent approval of the re-development of the former Domino Sugar Factory.
The neighborhood, defined by Grand Street to the North, Flushing Avenue to the south, Kent Avenue/the waterfront to the West and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the East.
Luxury buildings like 29 South 3rd Street and Schaeffer Landing have cropped up in the past couple years, and condo buildings like the Gretsch are offering apartments at $1,800 psf.
Buildings like the Gretsch at 60 Broadway, which was built in 1916 as a guitar factory and was converted to a condo building in 2003, are drawing buyers to the area with a myriad of luxury offerings.
The Gretsch has 120 units with 12 ft. ceilings and high-end finishes, a full time doorman, roof deck, children’s play room and free bike parking near the entrance.
Unit #10CD, a six bedroom, six bathroom loft at the building is currently on the market for $6.5 million. If it sells at that price, it will be the most expensive apartment ever sold in all of Brooklyn.
The unit is 4,000 s/f and has oversized windows and 13 ft. ceilings and some spectacular views.
The nightlife scene has been attracting a lot of buzz lately. Hot spots like TBA are competing with North Williamsburg/Greenpoint’s current club of the moment Output, on North 11th Street, and art gallery and bar, Glasslands, on Kent Avenue.
Neighborhood legend Peter Luger’s steakhouse, on Broadway and Driggs Avenue, which has been open since 1887, is one of the most popular and revered restaurants, along with newcomer Traif on South 4th Street.
