Built in 1905 as an industrial warehouse for Ben Forman & Sons, a manufacturer of silverware and kitchen utensils, 51 Jay Street was converted to 73 residential condominiums in 2014 by Slate Property Group and Adam America Real Estate. The conversion, designed by acclaimed architecture firm ODA, preserves the building's industrial character while introducing modern luxury across seven stories. The double-height lobby features polished concrete flooring and steel rail tracks inspired by the original rails that once carried goods through the building. The property also goes by the address 201 Water Street and is located in DUMBO's landmarked district.
Apartments feature fumed oak herringbone floors, oversized casement windows with blackened steel frames, and ceilings ranging from 9'6" to 9'8" (with double-height ceilings in duplex units). Kitchens are outfitted with custom Aster Cucine cabinetry, La Rochelle Gris marble slab countertops, and a full Gaggenau appliance package including 5 burner cooktops, convection ovens, 42 inch refrigerators, wine coolers, and microwave drawers. Master bathrooms showcase lacquered dark brown vanities with copper detailing, walnut brown marble flooring, and walk-in showers and deep soaking tubs. The duplex penthouses are particularly notable, spanning over 3,000 square feet of interior space with an additional 2,700 square feet of landscaped terraces offering Manhattan Bridge and skyline views. One penthouse was featured in Architectural Digest following a designer renovation by Michael Aiduss. Former NBA player J.J. Redick has lived in the building.
Amenities include a 24 hour concierge, fitness center with dedicated yoga room, residents' lounge, children's playroom, and a landscaped central courtyard designed by Steven Yavanian. The rooftop terrace features an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and multiple seating areas with sweeping views. Additional conveniences include bicycle storage, a pet washing station, cold storage for deliveries, and on-site parking available for purchase. The building benefits from a 421a tax abatement running through 2033 and maintains pet friendly and investor friendly policies. Located two blocks from Brooklyn Bridge Park and near the A, C, F, 2, and 3 subway lines, the building sits among DUMBO's historic cobblestone streets with easy access to Time Out Market, Jane's Carousel, and the neighborhood's collection of galleries, restaurants, and shops.
