Carter Horsley's Building Review Carter Horsley

Carter's Review

This attractive gray-brick, 10-story building at 214 Richardson Street is known as the Luminous Condos and is set back considerably on its narrow site in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn behind a one-story gate structure.

The building has 9 two-bedroom, two-bath apartments, each with a balcony facing the street and occupying half that frontage. The other half is a wall of windows.

The building was designed by Robert M. Scarano Jr., for John Ruha, a partner in Three on Two Fourteen LLC.

The building has also been known as the Richardson. It is a couple of blocks east of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and not too far from McCarren Park.

It was built atop an abandoned one-story warehouse between Humboldt and North Henry streets.

Elevators open inside apartments that have floor-to-ceiling windows.

The building, which has good views, washers and dryers and disabled access, was completed in 2009.
