Eagle Warehouse & Storage Company is a residential loft conversion of the former Brooklyn Eagle headquarters, located at 28 Old Fulton Street. The building offers amenities like a doorman, gym, and laundry, and is situated near Brooklyn Bridge Park with easy access to public transportation and neighborhood attractions. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Eagle Warehouse & Storage Company at 28 Old Fulton Street is a Romanesque landmark designed by Frank Freeman in 1893 and completed in 1894. The building served as the headquarters of the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, where Walt Whitman once worked as editor. Freeman incorporated portions of the original three story pressroom into his design, creating what the New York Times architecture critic called his "masterpiece"—a medieval brick fortress with a massive arched entrance, cast iron gate with dragon head ornament, and machiolated cornice. The building was converted to a residential co-op in 1980 by developer Benjamin Fishbein, with architect Benjamin Rothzeid creating 85 apartments. A notable feature is the building's famous 11 foot diameter clock, originally atop the structure facing the Brooklyn Bridge, now installed in a top floor apartment's skylight and still visible from afar.
Apartments feature 11 foot ceilings as standard, with some units reaching 13 to 14 feet and even 23 feet in certain lower level spaces. The conversion created a 16 by 55 foot central atrium to provide natural light, and windows were cut through the Elizabeth Street wall to make the residential conversion viable. Units range from one bedroom lofts to three level townhouses, many with loft style open layouts, exposed brick, concrete columns, and dramatic skylights. Common features include open chef's kitchens with high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Bosch, Miele, and Fisher & Paykel, hardwood floors, and generous storage with walk in closets throughout. Many apartments offer protected views of the Brooklyn Bridge, East River, and Manhattan skyline.
Townhouse units are particularly notable, offering 2,100 to 2,700 square feet across three levels with multiple private entrances—some opening directly to the lobby, others to the quiet Doughty Alley, and some with direct access to the fitness center. These flexible layouts accommodate home offices, media rooms, and dens alongside traditional living spaces. Penthouse units feature soaring ceilings and dramatic skylights, while mid floor apartments often have 30 to 40 foot long living and dining rooms. Several units include custom renovations with floating spiral staircases, wet bars, and in unit laundry, though washer/dryer installation requires building approval.
The building offers a live in superintendent, doorman service from 8AM to midnight, a renovated fitness center, bike storage, private storage lockers for rent, and laundry facilities on every floor. The location at the gateway to the 85 acre Brooklyn Bridge Park provides access to waterfront promenades, sports facilities, playgrounds, and ferry service to Manhattan. Residents are steps from the A/C, 2/3, and F trains, one stop from Manhattan, and within the PS8 elementary and middle school zone. Pets are permitted, with a large dog run adjacent to the building.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
