One of Wiliamsburg’s future tallest buildings is now rising skyward. Sited at 321 Wythe Avenue on South 2nd Street, the 19-story building soars from a large parcel owned by Saint Peter and Paul Church. As we first revealed last year, Watermark Capital Group cut a deal with the church to lease the site for $2.1 million per year for the next several decades. When the new building is complete it will accommodate 130 apartments, two floors of amenities and a 92-parking garage.

Nataliya Donskoy’s ND Architecture are the designers and have crafted a maze-like façade incorporating lots of terraces and balconies. The building’s relatively low-scaled surroundings will offer residents commanding views of the skyline and East River. The two new renderings, shown above, give us a closer look at how the residential floors are elevated above a two-story podium via piloti. Aside from a garage, the podium will hold an ambulatory diagnostic center/health care facility and its roof will serve as landscaped deck.
A Bloomberg-era rezoning of Williamsburg has mostly restricted tall buildings to the waterfront. However, through development rights transfers and/or assembling large project sites, developers can amass large amounts of floor area to build higher buildings.
