The new towers along Greenpoint's waterfront has attracted renewed attention to the area's one-time industrial blocks, but east of McGuinness Boulevard, the historically Polish neighborhood remains residential, tight-knit, and human scale. One boutique condo development weaving into this context can be found at 91 Diamond Street between Nassau and Norman avenues. Here, Mortar Architecture + Development has brought forth a five-story, ten-unit building with an eyecatching design of unique fenestration coupled with metallic and wood accents.
Now ready for occupancy, currently listed spreads include a three-bedroom with a private balcony asking $1.4 million, and a two-bedroom penthouse with a private rooftop cabana listed for $1.425 million.
An offering plan with a $14.275 million sellout was accepted at the beginning of 2019. Its average price of $1,323 per square foot puts it well above the Greenpoint condo average of $1,176 per square foot (via CityRealty data), but it must be noted that this is a relatively rare type of product for the historic Greenpoint.

The 10 residences include two- and three-bedroom apartments, penthouse apartments, and duplex townhouses with private gardens and street-level parking. All units enjoy direct elevator access, video intercoms, Legrand light switches, and top-of-the-line finishes throughout. Upon arrival, gracious foyers lead to custom kitchens with abundant counter space, white lacquer matte cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A breakfast bar overlooks the living rooms with oversized windows and private balcony access. All bedrooms boast abundant natural light and closet space, and the master suites offer reading nooks and en suite baths with glass-enclosed shower and Kohler fixtures.
Each unit comes with basement storage space, and amenities include virtual doorman service, elevator, and communal roof terrace. However, its prime Brooklyn address may be the most highly coveted perk of all. The building is between McCarren Park and Monsignor McGolrick Park, and a thriving Manhattan Avenue dining scene. The Nassau Avenue G train allows for an easy trip all over Brooklyn.
