Two Northside Piers stands as a 30 story, 270 unit luxury condominium at 47 North 4th Street on the Williamsburg waterfront, completed in 2008 as part of the larger Northside Piers development. Developed by Toll Brothers, RD Management, and L&M Development Partners and designed by FXFowle Architects, this blue glass tower was among the first residential developments to transform Williamsburg's former warehouse district into a premier residential enclave. The building offers sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and East River from many of its units, with the tower positioned closest to the water as part of the two tower complex.
Apartments range from studios to impressive triplex penthouses and unique four level townhouse units with 44 foot long cellars. Units feature floor to ceiling windows, rich American walnut floors, and kitchens designed by Stephen Alton with high gloss custom cabinets, honed marble countertops, and premium appliances including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Bosch cooktops. Bathrooms showcase floor to ceiling tile with Lefroy Brooks fixtures, frameless glass enclosed showers with rain heads, and separate soaking tubs. Many apartments include in unit washers and dryers, and select units offer private balconies and terraces with spectacular city and river views.
The building provides an extensive amenities package including a heated indoor pool with ozone filtration system (the only one in Williamsburg), hot tub, sauna, and state of the art fitness center with Peloton bikes. Additional amenities encompass 24 hour doorman and concierge service, massage and yoga rooms, children's playrooms, screening room, residents' lounge with outdoor terrace, on site valet parking, bike storage, and refrigerated grocery storage. The comprehensive amenity offering rivals that of Manhattan's luxury buildings while maintaining the neighborhood's distinctive character.
Located steps from the East River Ferry, the building offers convenient transportation options with the nearby L train providing one stop access to the East Village. The waterfront location places residents in the heart of North Williamsburg's dining, arts, and entertainment scene, with easy access to Domino Park, East River State Park, and the area's renowned restaurants and galleries. The building benefits from a 25 year tax abatement running until 2036, making it an attractive investment opportunity in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
A standout feature is the building's 400 foot long waterfront pier crowned by "Crescendo," an eight ton stainless steel sculpture by Brooklyn artist Mark Gibian that serves as both functional shade structure and striking public art. This dramatic, rib like skeletal formation evokes sea imagery and provides seating while offering incredible views of the river and Manhattan skyline. The sculpture's installation was notably complex, requiring months of permitting and specialized transport due to its massive 28 by 16 foot dimensions, exemplifying the developers' commitment to creating something extraordinary rather than merely functional for this waterfront amenity.
