68 Richardson Street is a 7 story rental building in Williamsburg, originally constructed in 1920 and later enlarged under the direction of architect Charles Diehl. The property was acquired in 2014 by the Kalikow Group, Massey Knakal, and River Oak Investment Corp., and contains 25 apartments.
The enlargement gives the mid block building an unusual composition of materials and colors. A three story tan brick section and a four story bright orange brick section are joined by a narrow light blue center, while dark stringcourses, pink detailing, fire escapes, and a setback upper level add further contrast. A dark half story base and almost double height glass entrance anchor the façade.
The apartments have loft like proportions, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and open living and dining areas. Kitchens generally have stainless steel appliances and dishwashers, while many homes have in-unit laundry and additional storage. Duplexes place bedrooms across a ground floor and lower level, and one two bedroom layout includes a large private terrace. Building amenities include a roof deck, courtyard, laundry room, bike storage, and a pet friendly policy.
McCarren Park is one block away, and Bedford Avenue is three blocks from the building. The Lorimer Street station, served by the L train, is also nearby.
