The Boerum
December 14, 2016
Hill West teamed with Flank and The Carlyle Group on a 19-story mixed-used building featuring a luxury condominium and hotel located at 265 State Street on the corner of Smith Street in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Located between Brooklyn’s most prominent neighborhoods, The Boerum pays tribute to the neighborhood’s rich history through its primary facade of classic red brick, and windows framed with cast stone. The exterior is inspired by townhouse proportions and modernized by a modulating basket-weave pattern to integrate a sense of rhythm into a larger visual field. With its upper levels composed of sculpted aluminum panels, The Boerum’s subtle shift of form and material rises to create a building of understated substance, and a respectful nod to the surrounding streetscape.
The Hilton Brooklyn New York, the hotel portion of the project, is a 4-star hotel with 196 rooms. The hotel also includes a 2,376 square feet of meeting space, a lounge, full-service restaurant, and bar as well as a fitness center.
The residential portion, which starts on the seventh floor, has 128 one- to five- bedroom apartments, with a majority of the units designed to feature larger layouts to cater to a family-heavy neighborhood.
