Brooklyn’s towering luxury high-rises command the skyline and renters’ attention alike, yet even the borough’s smaller new rental buildings sometimes offer dramatic interiors and spectacular views. Leasing has launched at 888 Lorimer Street, a boutique six-story, five-unit rental across the street from McCarren Park. A two-bed, two-bath pad is on the market for $7,600/month, and a 3-bedroom duplex penthouse with an 18-foot-high living room is available for $11,500.
Since each unit spans the whole floor, the keyed elevator offers direct access into the apartments. The minimal, white interior palette maximizes the feeling of light and airiness from open plan living and kitchen areas with large eat-in islands to bathrooms with heated floors and windowed showers. The bedrooms overlook the quiet rear yard, unbothered by street noise, while floor-to-ceiling windows in living rooms look out to the park and, from the upper-floor units, spectacular panoramas of the Midtown skyline that rises above the green park canopy.

Glass-railed balconies make for excellent front-row seats for watching the ongoing supertall construction race between Hudson Yards, One Vanderbilt, 111 West 57th Street, and Central Park Tower, while the nearby skylines at Long Island City and the Greenpoint waterfront are rapidly raising their profile.
Technically speaking, 888 Lorimer sits within Williamsburg, but a case can be made just as easily for Greenpoint as the building’s true locale. Regardless of technicalities, the location’s advantages are unquestionable, as it sits within walking distance of the famed dining, arts, and nightlife of two of Brooklyn’s finest neighborhoods. Throughout the year, particularly in the summer, McCarren Park’s lawns, playgrounds and massive swimming pool teem with activity, as do the sidewalks along the shopper-packed Manhattan Avenue. The Nassau Avenue station of the G train sits less than a block away.
