147 Hope Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 147 Hope Street by Carter Horsley

This imposing, 6-story, mixed-use, condominium building at 147 Hope Street in Williamsburg was erected in 2018 by Blue Zees Real Estate headed by James Stockwell and designed by Alexander Campagno. 

It has 38 apartments. 

The building, which is also known as 432 Keap Street, is near the Lorimer Street subway station and east of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. 

It has 1,600-square feet of ground-floor retail space. 

Bottom Line

This low-rise Williamsburg condominium development with many setbacks and balconies is distinguished by two 2-story-high openings to its landscaped courtyard that are supported by angled braces.

Description

The building has numerous setbacks and glass-railed balconies and is distinguished by two 2-story high openings supported by large angled columns, one of which openings is large and curved. 

A Corcoran ad for an apartment stated that "with its bicycle motif informing the design concept, spoke-like beams and arches are elements carried throughout the building, intersecting the lobby, meandering in the landscaped courtyard and crossing onto terraces."

Amenities

The building has a roof deck, a bicycle room, a garage with 19 spaces, a virtual doorman, an exercise room, a children's playroom and a pet-washing station.
