Finally, East Williamsburg may be getting a new development that reflects the creativity of some of its residents. At 88 Withers Street, at the corner of Leonard, an eccentric new condo building will put a new angle on stacking the pile. In addition to its 33 new condo units, the building will provide fully-functional work suites in its cellar that can be used as private home offices, art studios, workshops, wine cellars or whatever your creative heart desires.
The project site overlooks Badame-Sessa Memorial Square (near the BQE) and was formerly occupied by a two-floor warehouse last used for storage by Paramount Studios. The developers are RYBAK Development and BK Developers who purchased the property in 2016 for $11.5M. RYBAK, who previously brought us the Vue in Sheepshead Bay, has tapped their go-to architects, Zproekt to design the 9-story building. Renderings show a sculpted pile of floors, offset from one another, that we can only liken to a mutant baby spawned by 56 Leonard and 12 Warren Street.

In addition to the work suites, amenities are to include a 22-foot-high lobby, virtual doorman, a 6,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor park, and a fitness center.
