The Berkley is a seven story, 95 apartment rental completed in 2017 at 223 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, about one and a half blocks from the Bedford Avenue station on the L line. Developed by Largo Investments, the building has a brown brick façade organized around three projecting window bays, with seventh floor setbacks, glass roofline railings, and sidewalk landscaping.
Apartments range from studios to two bedrooms, generally pairing open kitchens with compact living areas, and many extend to glass railed private balconies. One bedroom layouts span alcove plans with walk-in closets and L shaped kitchens, while two bedroom plans place the living area between the bedrooms. Central air, triple pane windows, and in-unit washers and dryers are standard.
The attended building has a two story fitness center, a landscaped courtyard with a fire pit, and a rooftop terrace with barbecue stations and outdoor showers. Other facilities include a lobby lounge, package room, bike room, storage, and on-site parking, along with concierge service and a live-in superintendent.
The Berkley was classically designed to reflect its industrial roots. The complimentary towers connected by a central landscaped courtyard are located in the heart of Williamsburg, which continues to be the epicenter of the creative, artistic and entrepreneurial renaissance of New York City.
