Carter's Review

This 9-story building at 75 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights was erected in 1910 and converted by Invesco to a rental building in 2012 after it acquired the property, which had been planned as a condominium by Marshall Weisman.

It has 74 apartments.

Edgar Rawlings was the architect for the conversion.

The building is also known as 168-170 Montague Street and 143-145 Remsen Street and was formerly a white-brick building with horizontal fenestration banding.

Bottom Line

Its excellent location in Brooklyn Heights and nice detailing make up considerably for its fairly utilitarian and modest exterior design.

Description

A long, narrow slab with light orange, long bricks over a handsome one-story, blue-gray stone base with an entrance marquee, this building has balconies on its short ends between the 4^th and 8^th floors and some Juliet balconies on the 4^th, 6^th and 8^th floors on its long façade.   There are also thin, discrete and quite handsome light blue piers between the second floor and the top of the building.  They are a subtle touch that significantly improve the building’s appearance.

The building has sidewalk landscaping.

Amenities

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, a roof deck, bicycle racks and storage bins.
