The Arches at Cobble Hill,
401 Hicks Street

Overview of The Arches at Cobble Hill at 401 Hicks Street

The Arches at Cobble Hill is a distinctive 59-unit condominium conversion of the former St. Peter's Church, rectory, and nursing academy complex at 401 Hicks Street and 101-117 Warren Street. Originally built in 1858, the three-building complex was converted to luxury condominiums in 2005 by developer Stanley Listokin with Scarano & Associates as the architect. The Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously approved the conversion, which thoughtfully incorporated original architectural features including stained glass panels and wood trusses.

The conversion's crown jewel is a 3,000 square foot duplex created from the church's bell tower, featuring a dramatic 30-foot-high atrium. The red brick former nursing academy showcases peaked ground floor windows and arched second floor windows, all with multi paned glass. Many apartments are duplexes with spiral staircases leading to private terraces, and units commonly feature high end finishes including Wolf appliances, granite and marble countertops, hardwood floors, oversized windows, and luxurious bathrooms with limestone tiling and Zuma soaking tubs.

Building amenities include a live-in superintendent, landscaped courtyard and garden, package room, and pet friendly policy. The prime Cobble Hill location provides easy access to shopping and dining along Smith, Court, and Henry Streets, plus Atlantic Avenue, while Brooklyn Bridge Park and Cobble Hill Park offer nearby recreation. Residents enjoy convenient transportation via multiple subway lines including the F/G, 2/3, 4/5, and R trains, with the building also zoned for the well-regarded P.S. 29.
