Overview of Allan Building at 70 Berry Street

The Allan Building is a 38-unit boutique condominium at 70 Berry Street and North 10th Street, constructed on the historic site of the Allan Zipper Company. This 7-story building was designed by Armand S. Quadrini of KSQ Architects PC and developed by EssexBerrySt LLC, with construction beginning in 2008 and selling out by April 2010. The building is distinguished by its large inset windows and reddish-brown masonry piers, blending seamlessly with Williamsburg's industrial warehouse aesthetic.

Located just one block from Bedford Avenue, the building offers prime access to Williamsburg's attractions, sitting three blocks west of East River State Park and two blocks south of McCarren Park. Residents enjoy convenient transportation via the L and G subway lines and NYC Ferry service. The building features comprehensive amenities including on-site parking with garage access, a stunning roof deck with Manhattan and Brooklyn views, a residents' lounge with office space and Wi-Fi, a common courtyard, bike storage, and video intercom system.

Apartments throughout the building feature hand-scraped wide plank oak floors, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood units with natural light. Kitchens are equipped with Bosch and Liebherr appliances, custom oak cabinetry, and Caesarstone countertops, while bathrooms boast double sinks with quartz countertops, radiant heated floors, oversized gray tile, and rain shower fixtures. All units include in-unit washer/dryer and central air conditioning, with top floor apartments featuring slanted skylights.

Notable unique features include select units with deeded private outdoor deck space, some apartments offering East River and Manhattan views, and one exceptional unit (5A) featuring custom river rock flooring that can be configured as either a two or three bedroom. Several units come with dedicated parking spots, and some top floor residences include private rooftop cabanas. The building benefitted from a 421a tax abatement through 2026 and welcomes pets, making it a highly sought after address in prime Williamsburg.
