The Driggs is a 211 unit post-war rental at 205 North 9th Street in Williamsburg, completed in 2011 and rising seven stories. Designed by Karl Fischer for developer Simon Dushinsky, the building has brown and light brown façades, clear glass balcony walls, corner windows, upper floor setbacks, and an angled glass entrance marquee framed by dark wood slats and sidewalk landscaping.
Private outdoor space recurs in the apartment mix, with balconies and terraces ranging from compact bedroom extensions to a 411 square foot terrace. Many apartments have high ceilings, generous closets, and washer and dryer hookups, while central air conditioning is integrated through discreet façade units.
The landscaped roof deck is arranged with two tier wood seating and angled light stanchions. The building also has a concierge and attended lobby, fitness center, screening room, lounge, business center, party room, laundry room, bike and resident storage, on-site parking, and a live-in superintendent. Pets are allowed, and the Bedford Avenue station on the L line is nearby.
