133 Water Street

Overview of 133 Water Street

133 Water Street is a 12 story, 52 unit condominium completed in 2006 in DUMBO's Historic District, designed by the prolific architect Robert Scarano of Scarano & Associates. The building's most striking feature is its unique 45-degree angled orientation of the top eight floors, which aligns with the nearby Manhattan Bridge and creates varied vistas for residents. This architectural decision, combined with façades of aluminum panels and textured manganese brick, gives the building an unmistakably unusual appearance that blends old and new design elements. 

The building's proximity to the Manhattan Bridge necessitated exceptional sound mitigation measures, including custom designed quadruple paned windows and acoustically super insulated exterior walls that effectively mask bridge traffic noise. These features are standard across all units, along with central air conditioning, hardwood floors, and in-unit washer/dryer hookups. Most apartments feature sophisticated finishes including Caesarstone countertops, a mix of espresso wood and white lacquer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, Vitabath soaking tubs, and Scarabeo sinks with Kohler faucets. Many units, particularly the corner apartments, offer multiple exposures and some provide partial views of the Brooklyn or Manhattan bridges.

Amenities include a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, bike storage, cold storage for deliveries, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. A parking garage in the cellar offers spots available for purchase or rent. The building is located on DUMBO's charming cobblestone streets, with easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the neighborhood's thriving restaurant and art scene, and multiple subway lines including the F, A, C, 2, and 3 trains, plus NYC Ferry service at Fulton Ferry Landing.
