The Clock Tower Building in DUMBO contains 126 converted lofts with modern amenities and stunning views. It offers concierge service, a roof deck, and fitness center, and is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and transportation. Currently, 8 apartments are for sale.
The Clocktower Building at 1 Main Street stands as one of Brooklyn's most iconic residential conversions, commanding a prime DUMBO waterfront location with sweeping views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Originally constructed in 1914 as an industrial facility for packaging magnate Robert Gair, this 12 story landmark was once the tallest reinforced concrete building in the world. The building's distinctive four story clock tower, featuring massive working clocks on each face, has become a defining feature of the Brooklyn waterfront and houses what was once Brooklyn's most expensive apartment listing at $25 million.
Developer David Walentas transformed the historic structure into 124 luxury condominiums in 1998, preserving the building's Industrial Neo-Classical character while creating modern loft living spaces. The conversion has attracted notable residents including Anne Hathaway, Rebecca Minkoff, and German film producer Katharina Trebitsch. Units throughout the building feature the classic DUMBO loft aesthetic with 11 foot plus concrete beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and hardwood floors, while many apartments boast chef's kitchens equipped with high end appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators and premium European fixtures.
The building offers full service amenities including 24 hour concierge service, a fitness center, and a planted roof deck. Located on a charming cobblestone street directly across from Brooklyn Bridge Park, residents enjoy immediate access to waterfront recreation, the Empire Stores shopping complex, and St. Ann's Warehouse theater. The ground floor houses the popular Bubby's restaurant, while the building's proximity to A/C/F subway lines and NYC Ferry service provides convenient Manhattan access, making it a cornerstone of DUMBO's transformation from industrial district to one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
