288 Water Street

Overview of 288 Water Street

288 Water Street is an ultra-boutique condominium in DUMBO's quiet Vinegar Hill neighborhood, comprising just eight oversized residences across five stories. With a maximum of two homes per floor, the building prioritizes privacy and spacious living, offering residences ranging from 1,600 to 2,500 square feet. The building's defining feature is its open air Japanese Zen garden, which serves as a central courtyard visible through floor-to-ceiling windows and creates a serene focal point for residents.

Each residence features loft like layouts with generous entertaining spaces and substantial private outdoor areas including terraces and balconies. The apartments showcase Italian designed kitchens with custom White Oak cabinetry by RiFRA, Calacatta Borghini stone countertops, and fully integrated Gaggenau appliance suites including wine refrigerators. Primary suites include five fixture spa bathrooms with honed La Perla limestone, freestanding soaking tubs, separate rain showers with thermostatic controls, and custom Italian made White Oak double vanities, all accented by cove lighting and polished nickel Watermark fixtures throughout.

The building's design emphasizes natural light with large windows in every corridor and floor-to-ceiling windows in residences that frame views of the Manhattan Bridge and skyline to the north, and peaceful garden vistas to the south. Standard features include 8.5 inch wide plank White Oak floors, ceiling heights up to 9 feet, multi zone climate control systems, and in-unit washers and dryers. Secondary bedrooms typically offer bright southern and eastern exposures with garden access, while secondary bathrooms maintain the same refined material palette of honed La Perla limestone and custom White Oak vanities.

Building amenities include a boutique fitness center, stunning rooftop space, and a smartphone enabled virtually attended lobby system for packages and guest access. The location provides convenient access to the F train at York Street and A/C trains at High Street, with Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO's attractions including Empire Stores, Time Out Market, and DUMBO House just blocks away. The Vinegar Hill location is affectionately known by neighbors as "the quiet side" of DUMBO, offering a more residential feel while maintaining proximity to the neighborhood's dining, shopping, and waterfront amenities.
