Rounding up Brooklyn's new rental developments
Sunset view from downtown Brooklyn's Avalon Willoughby Square.
With 70 percent of Brooklyn's residents renting rather than owning, the borough has a need for inventory, and developers have the inventory—and then some—to sate their thirst. These new rental developments are heavy on the amenities (play labs! pet spas!), place emphasis on outdoor space and features, and play with the unique vibe Brooklyn has. Below, a selection of new rental developments coming your way.
586 apartments in a 53-story building featuring a 24-hour attended lobby, bike storage, stroller parking, third-floor terrace including gym, fitness studio, children’s “play lab”, an outdoor movie screening area, and bar area. The rooftop terrace has a billiard room, screening room, and lounge. The ground floor will house a 17,000 square foot market with eight dining and drinking venues.
