After years of infighting and careful construction, the largest condo offering in once-sleepy Red Hook is now complete. The structure at 160 Imlay Street was the first reinforced steel and concrete building in the United States when it was erected as a New York Dock Co. building in 1910. For its newest incarnation, three more floors were added; and, as new photos of a model unit show, historic details were carefully preserved inside and out.

All 70 condos feature open layouts, wide plank oak flooring, double-glazed windows, beautiful Manhattan skyline views, custom oversized European doors, and beamed concrete ceilings at soaring heights. Custom Bulthaup kitchens are outfitted with white matte cabinetry and Miele appliances. Baths have Italian stone walls, contemporary fixtures, and backlit mirrors. Select units have private balconies, and an extraordinary triplex penthouse comes with 1,270 square feet of private outdoor space. All residents can enjoy such amenities as a landscaped roof deck, fitness center, steam rooms and saunas, and storage.

One-bedrooms at 160 Imlay Street start at $1.295 million, and a two-bedroom is listed for $1.675 million. At the time it was listed, a three-bedroom unit for $2.9 million was the most expensive apartment in the neighborhood. At an average sales price of $1,031 per square foot, the building comes in below the Brooklyn average condo price of $1,158 per square foot (CityRealty data).
Closings have not yet come in, but it is already clear that Red Hook's popularity is on an already rapid rise. While residents once sued to block Fairway and Ikea, the stores are now neighborhood institutions. Renderings have just been released of a new art gallery at 202 Conover Street. 160 Imlay Street is part of a recent residential wave that has included new rental buildings and classic townhouses alike. The Red Hook/Atlantic Basin ferry stop is a powerful draw and one that will continue to attract new residents.
