Overview of The Kent at 970 Kent Avenue

The Kent, located at 970 Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, is a historic 1915 building that originally served as the Kaiser Underwear Factory before its 2004 conversion into 103 luxury loft condominiums. Architect Elissa Winzelberg oversaw the conversion, notably adding two floors of setback penthouse duplexes with distinctive slanted roofs.

The nine-story pre-war structure sits at the intersection of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, featuring industrial-style architecture with high 12-foot ceilings and large multi-pane windows throughout. Most units average 1,000-1,100 square feet, with layouts ranging from one to two bedrooms, many including private outdoor spaces.

Residents enjoy full-service amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a fitness center, children's playroom, and a landscaped common courtyard with a running track. The building also offers storage facilities and maintains a live-in superintendent.

The building's location provides easy access to urban conveniences, situated just two blocks from Pratt Institute and the G train at Classon Avenue. The neighborhood offers a mix of historic charm and modern amenities, with easy access to the Navy Yard and various dining and shopping options along Dekalb Avenue.

The Kent's conversion maintained much of its industrial character while creating modern living spaces, with many units featuring open floor plans, large windows providing abundant natural light, and contemporary finishes.
