Overview of AVA DoBro at 100 Willoughby Street

AVA DoBro is a prominent residential building located at 100 Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Developed by Avalon Bay Communities and designed by SLCE Architects, this 58-story tower was completed in 2015 and was the tallest building in Brooklyn at the time. The building is divided into two sections: the lower floors, known as AVA DoBro, offer 500 rental apartments with more affordable pricing, while the upper floors, branded as Avalon Willoughby Square, consist of 326 upscale rental units. Both sections share amenities on the 30th floor, and the building's design features a unique façade with asymmetrical elements and a mix of white, blue, and black accents.

AVA DoBro offers a variety of amenities to its residents, including a fitness center, a 57th-floor indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge, and a 30th-floor terrace with a fire pit. The building is pet friendly and includes a pet-washing facility, a children's playroom, and a package room with cold storage. Residents also have access to a 24-hour concierge, a 167-car garage, and bicycle storage. The building is conveniently located above the Jay Street-MetroTech Subway Station, providing easy access to multiple subway lines.

The apartments at AVA DoBro are designed with modern conveniences, featuring kitchens with stainless steel appliances, quartz-stone countertops, and tile backsplashes. Most units include in-unit washers and dryers, hard-surface plank flooring, and built-in charging stations. Some apartments also have sliding barn doors, adding a touch of contemporary style. The building offers a range of floor plans, including studio, one, two, and three-bedroom units, catering to a variety of living arrangements.

The building's location in Downtown Brooklyn places it steps away from cultural landmarks such as the Barclays Center and Brooklyn Flea, as well as the vibrant nightlife and dining options in nearby neighborhoods like Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens, and Brooklyn Heights. With its combination of modern amenities, convenient location, and distinctive design, AVA DoBro provides a dynamic living experience in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after areas.

Broker & Resident Comments

This downtown Brooklyn high-rise offers "breathtaking views" and "fantastic" transit access, with "exceptional" concierge and maintenance staff who provide "top-notch service." However, "persistent infrastructure challenges" including "frequent elevator outages" and "water system issues" have plagued residents, while management's handling of building concerns draws "mixed reviews at best." The building's "luxury amenities" and "prime location" are offset by "ongoing maintenance concerns" that have left many seeking alternatives.
