Overview of Navy Green at 8 Vanderbilt Avenue

Navy Green is a LEED certified condominium development in the Wallabout section of Brooklyn, directly across from the Brooklyn Navy Yard and near Fort Greene Park. Developed by Dunn Development and L&M Development with architecture by FXFowle, the complex comprises 433 apartments across four mid rise buildings (ranging from 8 to 12 stories) and 23 townhouses, built on the site of a former brig. Of the 99 condominiums in the development, only 24 are market rate units, with the remainder designated as affordable housing. The project was completed in phases between 2012 and 2016, and market rate units benefit from a 421-A tax abatement extending until 2042.

Apartments feature 5 inch wide white oak floors, oversized windows with city and skyline views, and open kitchens outfitted with quartz or caesarstone countertops, white cabinetry, and Bosch and Kitchen Aid appliances. Bathrooms include Giagni soaking tubs, Grohe polished chrome fixtures, smoked walnut vanities, and porcelain wall and floor tiles. Many units offer ample closet space, including walk in closets in some layouts, and select apartments include in-unit washer/dryers. Two bedroom corner units are particularly sought after for their dual exposures and unobstructed views of Downtown Brooklyn.

The development centers around a 30,000 square foot landscaped courtyard and garden that gives Navy Green its name. Additional amenities include a landscaped roof deck with BBQ facilities and panoramic views of the East River, Manhattan, and Downtown Brooklyn, a fitness room, bike storage with dedicated street entry, laundry facilities, a package room with cold storage, and a cloud based smart intercom system. A live-in superintendent is on staff, and additional storage is available for rent. The building does not offer doorman service or off-street parking.

The location sits at the nexus of Brooklyn's Navy Yard revitalization, which has transformed the historic 17th century landmark into a hub for technology, film production (including Steiner Studios), and urban agriculture ventures like Brooklyn Grange. Nearby additions include Wegman's Food Markets, The Hall Development (over 650,000 square feet of retail, dining, and creative office space), and popular destinations like Russ & Daughters and Transmitter Brewing in Buildings 77 and 92. The NYC Ferry provides direct water access to Manhattan, while multiple subway lines (A, C, F, R, and G trains) and bus routes offer extensive transit options. The neighborhood borders Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Bed Stuy, Dumbo, and Williamsburg, with Fort Greene Park and the restaurant lined Myrtle and DeKalb Avenues within walking distance.
