Williamsburg's recent building boom has spread to the eastern reaches of the neighborhood, where apartments are eagerly being snapped up. The recently finished 89 Montrose Avenue and 222 Withers Street are completely sold out, and 147 Hope Street, a new condominium on the corner of Keap Street, is still going strong. Sales at the unique Alexander Compagno-designed condominium got off to a brisk start in the fall of 2018, and a new collection of penthouses has just been unveiled.

Every penthouse comes with private balconies and/or roof decks that allow for peaceful retreats. Inside, expansive square footage, high ceilings, oversized windows, and wide-plank oak floors make for an airy atmosphere. The kitchens come outfitted with professional-grade appliances, white gloss wood cabinetry, and white quartz countertops and backsplash. The baths feature hexagonal marble flooring, Rohl fixtures, and Kohler tubs.

Construction on the steel-framed, bicycle-inspired building appears to be winding down, and closings began in December 2019 with prices from $1.995 million. In addition to the penthouse collection, a two-bedroom unit is on the market for $1.395 million. An offering plan made effective on March 27, 2019 lists a $64.9 million sellout.
