This 25-story residential condominium building is located in Downtown Brooklyn and is very convenient to excellent public transportation.

It has 218 apartments in its tower and 28 apartments in an adjoining 6-story building.

It was developed by SDS Procida of which Mario Procida is the principal.

The Stephen B. Jacobs Group was the architect. The building's facades are subtly modulated with shallow indentations and slight angles.

It opened in 2010.

The building has a curved, metal entrance marquee and a revolving entrance door. It has a 24-hour doorman/concierge, a garage, a residents' lounge, a fitness center, bicycle storage, and a landscaped courtyard.

The building also has a roof deck with cabanas and views of the Manhattan skyline, some terraces and about 15,000-square feet of commercial space. Apartments have open-plan kitchens with Blizzard CaesarStone countertops and backsplaches and white lacquer cabinetry and white oak flooring.

The building was nearly completed when construction stopped and buyers were given refunds because of the construction delays. A July 22, 2010 article in The New York Times by Vivian S. Toy said that after standing unfinished and vacant for most of 2009, Jamestown Properties, the Atlanta-based investment firm that was an original equity partner in the building, purchased the building's mortgage, however, in November, 2009 and retained SDS Procida as the developer.

The article said that Michael Phillips, the creative director of Jamestown said that "we retooled the project to what we think fits the market" by "creating amenities like storage space and a roof deck." "The changes that Jamestown made were 'less about grand gestures and more about sensitivity to consumer interest,'" the article said, adding that Mr. Phillips said that "Maybe in the last economy, big glossy marketing and overpromising was acceptable, but that's not relevant for buyers today." "We wanted to cast a wider net and appeal to young families and empty-nesters and maybe a little less trendy," he said, adding that "bold design colors were traded for more neutral ones; part of the parking garage was converted to 60 storage units; and six private roof cabanas were turned into a common roof deck."

According to a May 10, 2010 article by Sarabeth Sanders at therealdeal.com, the building resumed sales "at an average of 26 percent off their original prices."

SDS Procida's other projects include the very handsome On Prospect Park, which was designed by Richard Meier, the very attractive Dillon at 425 West 53rd Street in Manhattan that was designed by Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects, and be@William at 90 William Street in Lower Manhattan.
