Olympia

Hill West has designed a 26-story mixed-use residential building at 30 Front Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Developed by Fortis Property Group, the 270-foot-tall tower will yield 76 condominium units.

Olympia will feature 38,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, 72,500 square feet of community facilities, and parking. Residential amenities include a lounge, a sauna and spa, gym and a yoga room, and a swimming pool.

The project’s name, and the design inspired by the history of the neighborhood, a waterfront village named Olympia that later became part of the Parish of Brookland and ultimately the City of New York. When complete, the high rise will have expansive views of Lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor. Its distinctive sail-like massing will be complimented by maritime colors and industrial materials, harkening back to the area’s roots.

Winner of 6sqft’s 2022 Building of the Year.

363 Bond

363 Bond sits on the Gowanus Canal at the edge of historic Carroll Gardens and this edgy industrial neighborhood that is quickly becoming a destination.  363 and 365 Bond were originally designed as a 2-block development on the Gowanus Canal. Designed as a complementary pair, each building stands alone.  The facades relate and both buildings look and act like a series of buildings working in tandem to create a well-balanced neighborhood. The buildings both front a richly landscaped public esplanade designed by Brooklyn landscape architect Lee Weintraub and are adjacent to the historic Carroll Street Bridge.  Each building however, has its own identity.

363 Bond draws from the industrial language of the Gowanus warehouses but uses greyish brick to differentiate itself from typical red brick buildings.  The building mass is broken into elements that allow it to feel more in keeping with the townhouse scale of neighboring Carroll Gardens.  One portion of the building acts as townhouses, with direct entry from the street, front stoops and planters.  The tower portion of the mass sets back at 1^st street and at the Canal and has a glass corner for open views over the water and the surrounding neighborhood.  As one approaches the site from across the historic Carroll Street Bridge, there is a restaurant and terrace planned as well as commercial space that services the community. The aim of this building is to enhance the neighborhood and to provide a livable community center for a younger generation.  Residents will have large-scale, mullioned windows in their units along with such luxury touches as stone sills.  The amenity package includes a pool on the 6^th floor roof with a view of the Freedom Tower,  a shuffleboard court,  lounge, game room, yoga, fitness center, kids room, a 2^nd floor courtyard and plenty of accessible outdoor terraces.   Both in conjunction with 365 Bond Street and on its own, 363 Bond adds to the neighborhood’s resources and allows First Street to become a zone of community interaction.

365 Bond

365 Bond Street sits on the Gowanus Canal at the edge of historic Carroll Gardens.  The project is the first major development in Gowanus, an edgy industrial neighborhood that is quickly becoming a destination.   365 Bond is the first of a pair of buildings with 363 Bond, presently in construction across First Street.  Designed as a complimentary pair, each building stands alone but shares a commonality of form and materials.  The facades relate and both buildings look and acts like a series of buildings working in tandem to create a well-balanced neighborhood. The buildings both front a richly landscaped public esplanade designed by Brooklyn landscape architect Lee Weintraub and are adjacent to the historic Carroll Street Bridge.

At 365 Bond, weathered brick, raw concrete and large expanses of mullioned glass make reference to the area’s industrial past. Although the building occupies an entire block its variety of scale and height make it feel like a neighborhood rather than a building.

The units are anything but identical in this building, with over 66 unique layouts.  There are duplex townhouse units with entries off the street that are surrounded by front gardens much like other townhouses in the neighborhood.  Many units have private roof terraces and those that don’t can enjoy one of many outdoor amenities or a view into the serene inner courtyard from the floor to ceiling industrial windows. Amenities include a living lobby and community center, several lounges, a fitness center, valet parking, roof decks and community spaces for kayak storage and a boat launch.

The neighborhood surrounding the 1.8 mile Gowanus Canal is in the midst of a renaissance. “The project challenged us to find a sweet spot between edgy industrial and Brooklyn brownstone. We managed that by weaving some common materials through a varied landscape of height and scale,” states David West.
