Teaser Site Launched for Williamsburg's Fifth & Wythe

Fifth & Wythe at 55 North 5th Street

Thursday, Aug 18, 2016 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

Fifth & Wythe at 55 North 5th Street (a.k.a. 149 Kent Avenue) has launched their registration website for prospective renters interested in the building's 200 rental units and has released its official name as Fifth & Wythe. The seven-story building spans half of an entire Williamsburg block and is situated just steps from the neighborhood's rejuvenated waterfront and East River State Park. L+M Development is spearheading the project which will be ready for occupancy by the end of this year.

The Fifth & Wythe apartments replaced an old one-story carpet warehouse that was demolished in 2013. While GF55 Partners is the architect of record, Global Design Strategy (GDSNY) designed the facade of the building. Referencing the historic/industrial past of the building and neighborhood, Fifth & Wythe displays brick walls with metal accent panels and large windows.

Community terrace

Roof Deck

The building includes amenities such as a live-in super, laundry room, entertainment lounge, fitness center, community terrace, attended lobby, on-site parking, and a rooftop lounge. The project totals 220,996 square feet and more than 17,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space will be provided.

The residences will average about 790 square feet each. 20% of them are being leased at affordable rates and range from $563/month for a studio to $926/month for a two-bedroom. A lottery for these units ran from February to April of this year. Prices for the market-rate units have yet to be released.
