As DUMBO transitioned from a quiet industrial area to an in-demand neighborhood with a pithy acronym, a major part of the transformation has been the residential conversion of warehouses and commercial buildings. Part of this is owing to protections imposed by the DUMBO and Fulton Ferry Historic Districts, and another aspect relates to the charm, history, and original architectural found in older buildings.
However, that is not to say that there has been no new construction in the neighborhood. Architecturally adventurous offerings like Front and York and 98 Front Street have sprung up in recent years, but Olympia truly casts them in shadow: The 33-story, sail-shaped condominium developed by Fortis Property Group and designed by Hill West is the tallest residential building in DUMBO.

Sales have just launched with current availabilities starting at $1.995 million for one-bedrooms, $3 million for two-bedrooms, $4.9 million for three-bedrooms, and $7.75 million for four-bedrooms. At an average price of $2,328 per square foot, this is 1.75 times the DUMBO condo average (per CityRealty data). However, the building’s top-of-the-line finishes, enviable address, and over 38,000 square feet of resort-caliber amenities could account for this.

All 76 units feature interiors by Workstead, soaring ceilings, light ash flooring, in-unit washer/dryers, and jaw-dropping views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, and New York Harbor. Kitchens with custom raked maple cabinetry, large center islands with inlaid Fior di Bosco stone slab, and state-of-the-art integrated appliances by Gaggenau, Bosch, and Thermador would be impressive enough for entertaining, but custom wet bars with integrated Thermador wine coolers and Sub-Zero ice makers add an extra touch. All primary suites have generous closet space and baths with custom vanities, free-standing soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. Select units have private outdoor space.

Upon arrival at Olympia, residents are greeted by a porte cochere, triple-height attended lobby, pet spa, and lounge opening up to a private garden. The bridge level overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge and is home to New York’s highest private outdoor tennis court, an outdoor pool and hot tub, a shipwreck-themed playground, a children’s water park, and lounge and BBQ areas; indoor offerings on this level include an indoor pool, spa treatment room, dry sauna and steam room, and juice bar. The cellar houses a lounge, children’s playroom, two-lane bowling alley, and fitness center with movement studio, boxing gym, and spin studio.
Olympia's height allows for spectacular views, as does its location next to the Brooklyn Bridge. Its address also allows for easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, local boutiques, and restaurants like Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Superfine, AlMar, and Time Out Market. The York Street F, High Street A/C, and Clark Street 2/3 trains are a short walk away, are the DUMBO/Fulton Ferry stop and the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge's pedestrian and bike paths.
