The very impressive and dramatic, 7-story, 62-unit residential condominium building at 111 Kent Avenue overlooking East River Park, a state park, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was acquired November 17, 2010 for $43,635,540.69 by Garrison Investment Group.
This section of the waterfront in Brooklyn is one of the most spectacular groupings of new buildings in Williamsburg, and for that matter the city. In addition to this mid-rise building and another, clad in dark gray masonry also fully fronting on the large park, just across North 8th Street, the south side of Kent Avenue has three impressive developments, 184 Kent, a massive mid-rise building designed by Cass Gilbert, and the Northside Piers and the Edge developments, both of which have high-rise towers facing the river and very handsome mid-rise buildings along Kent Avenue.
Michael Muroff is the architect for this unfinished development and Charles Sharf was one of the developers.
Apartment layouts facing Manhattan are "winged" with bedrooms on either side of the living rooms so that all windows face the East River.
The top floor is set back at the top floor and has four penthouses with terraces ranging in size from 700 to 1,000 square feet.
The building has a rooftop outdoor pool with two south-facing sundecks and private cabanas for sale, a gym, a window-walled lounge, a garage with valet service and a 3,000-square-foot private garden in the back. Kitchen appliances are by Bosch.
The building is three blocks away from the Bedford Avenue subway station of the L line.
Most of the apartments have balconies and most of the windows are multi-paned giving the building a highly-detailed look. Its very angular bay windows that give it a rigorous and dynamic rhythm almost without equal in the city.
