856 Washington Avenue is a 14 story condominium building completed in 2018 by developers Valyrian Capital and the Daten Group, who purchased the site for $6.5 million in 2014. Located in Prospect Heights between Eastern Parkway and Lincoln Place, the building sits just one block from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Designed by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects, the 26 unit building replaced the historic Neo-Classical Greenpoint Savings Bank building that had stood on the site for 87 years, complete with impressive Corinthian columns and arched windows.
The building features a striking modern façade with an angled setback tower and glass enclosed balconies on the 9th, 10th, and 11th floors. Residences range from one bedroom units to full floor penthouses spanning over 3,100 square feet, with many apartments featuring private outdoor space including balconies and terraces. Common design elements throughout include 10 foot ceilings, oversized windows, wide plank white oak hardwood floors, and premium finishes such as walnut cabinetry, Pietra del Cardosa stone countertops imported from Tuscany, and Dornbracht fixtures. Kitchens are equipped with high end Thermador, Bosch, and Gaggenau appliances, while bathrooms feature heated floors, Bianco Bella marble vanities, and spa like amenities including freestanding soaking tubs in penthouse units.
The building offers an extensive amenity package including an attended lobby with an artistic installation of vintage deposit boxes honoring the site's banking history, a double height library salon with herringbone oak floors and curated book collection, a residents' lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga room, children's playroom, and bicycle storage. Outdoor amenities include a third floor landscaped courtyard and a roof deck soaring 150 feet above Grand Army Plaza with panoramic views of Prospect Park and the Manhattan skyline. The location provides immediate access to Brooklyn's cultural corridor, with the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park's 585 acres all within walking distance, plus convenient subway access via multiple lines including the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, Q, and C trains.
