475 Clermont Avenue is a 12 story, 363 apartment rental completed in 2019 where Clinton Hill meets Fort Greene. Developed by RXR Realty and designed by Aufgang Architects, its nine sided form uses red masonry façades, gray setback volumes and an angled central courtyard; Durukan Design handled the interiors.
The apartment mix ranges from studios to two bedrooms, with ceiling heights reaching 11 feet, oversized windows and in-unit washers and dryers. Angled living areas recur in the floor plans, reflecting the building’s geometry, while windowed flex alcoves extend both studio and one bedroom layouts. Some homes also have terraces or balconies.
The landscaped courtyard has a fire pit and a resident only mural by Mona Caron, while the lobby contains a neon work by Mr. Brainwash. Above, the rooftop terrace has grilling stations, dining areas, a catering kitchen, an outdoor movie screen, bocce and game tables.
A 24 hour concierge and live-in superintendent anchor the building’s services. Additional facilities include indoor and outdoor fitness areas, a yoga studio, children’s play spaces, lounges, a business center, a pet spa, bicycle and resident storage, and on-site parking.
This "luxury fortress" in Fort Greene offers "bright, thoughtfully designed" apartments in a "meticulously maintained" setting. Residents praise the "stellar staff" and "resort-style amenities," including a "fantastic" roof deck and well-equipped gym. While some grumble about "premium pricing," most agree the "peaceful, pet-friendly community" and "prime location" with "diverse dining options within walking distance" make it worthwhile. The "impeccable" maintenance team provides "swift service," though management response times can be "hit or miss." "Spacious layouts" with "abundant natural light" make for "comfortable" living spaces, while the "quiet, secure atmosphere" creates an "ideal" environment for both remote work and relaxation.
