New residential buildings are springing up all over Brooklyn, but they need not come at the expense of the borough’s celebrated history. Proof of that can be found at 873 Pacific Street, a ground up, five-story condominium on a tree-lined street: The handcrafted brick façade designed by Mortar ARCH + DEV was inspired by historic Brooklyn townhouses. As the building developed by East River Partners nears completion, sales have launched on the eight one- through three-bedroom apartments within.
A keyless entry system lets residents into the building, and an elevator with security doors opens directly into all units above the ground floor. All apartments come with private outdoor space and a private, deeded storage space; additional features include floor-to-ceiling windows, 5” solid white oak hardwood floors, energy-efficient central heating and cooling systems, and generous closet space. Kitchens are equipped with custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances.
Two-bedroom homes start at $1.975 million, three-bedrooms start at $1.699 million, and a three-bedroom duplex penthouse is listed for $2.35 million. According to CityRealty data, these prices come in well below the median of $3.29 million for Prospect Heights three-bedrooms.
873 Pacific Heights is a short walk from Barclays Center and its host of transportation options. Other nearby cultural offerings include Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora Arts. Moreover, Dean Street, Ode to Babel, Ample Hills Creamery, Branded Saloon, and Milk River are a small sample of the many local favorites within blocks of the building.
