In the early days of Williamsburg’s residential renaissance, the neighborhood gained a new crop of high-rise condos and historic conversions, all of which feature an extensive array of amenities. However, newer construction has leaned towards the boutique condo boom that has swept Brooklyn as of late.
The newest entrant is 738 Grand Street, a six-story, 10-unit condominium that has recently launched sales. Permits were filed in 2013 with S3 Architecture as the designer of record. An earlier rendering showed a brick building consistent with its surroundings, but the finished product is a boxy gray building looming over its nearest neighbors.

Current one-bedroom availabilities start at $769K, and a two-bedroom is on the market for $1.25 million. These come in below the neighborhood median of $987K for one-beds and $1.48 million for two-beds (figures per CityRealty listings), but that could be because this building isn’t as amenity-rich as some of the condos that put Williamsburg on the map.
