"Unlike anything, in the middle of everything." The new residential building at 300 Ashland is the most interesting and dramatic new high-rise in Downtown Brooklyn. Now, the 35-story tower is ushering in 300 no-fee rental apartments to Brooklyn's most exciting business hub. The mixed-use project is being developed by the Walentas family's Two Trees Management, which will oversee leasing too.
The building's cutting-edge design, by Enrique Norten's TEN Arquitectos is distinguished by a perforated skin and a randomized pattern of grey metal panels. In the heart of the BAM Cultural District, the building rises at a triangular lot bounded by Flatbush, Ashland, and Lafayette Avenues. The podium base of the tower will front a 20,000 square-foot public plaza. Inside the podium will be a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, BAM's Hamm Archives Center, and 651 ARTS. The tower is further articulated by cutaway slices, revealing fully-glazed sections. A setback along its southern elevation gives a nod to Brooklyn's former tallest building, the Williamsburg Saving Bank building, now known as One Hanson.

The BAM Cultural District gets a new icon
The building's new website gives a first look inside the apartments. Each room in every unit has expansive windows, offering residents panoramic views of the city. Units also feature built-out closets, pre-installed blackout shades, washer/dryer bundles, in-sink garbage disposals, and keyless entry. Many also have a private terrace. Residents will enjoy white oak hardwood floors, Corian window sills, Caesarstone countertops, Bosch and Energy Star appliances, and Grohe bathroom fixtures.
Typical Living Room
There are currently nine no-fee units available. Studios are priced from $2,850 per month, one-bedrooms from $3,300 per month, and a three-bedroom for $5,750 per month.
The pet-friendly building has an attended lobby, 24-hour concierge, a fitness center with views from a high floor, a sun-deck designed by James Corner Field Operations, a resident lounge, on-site parking, and a bike room.
