(Post House Boerum Hill)
In the midst of Brooklyn's residential building boom, Post House has attracted significant attention for its classically inspired architecture, well-thought interiors, extensive amenity package, and prime Boerum Hill location at 533 Pacific Street. The building was 63% sold at the beginning of March 2023, and a more recent check showed that it is now 76% sold (all figures courtesy of Marketproof. Closings have recently commenced, and a small handful of availabilities ranges from a one-bedroom for $1.05 million to a four-bedroom penthouse for $4.65 million.
In concert with the multi-family building, Sterling Town Equities developed two new construction, ground up townhouses at 535 and 537 Pacific Street. Both units offer 5,600 square feet of interior living space, private terraces on every floor, and all the space and privacy one can come to expect from a single-family home. But in the best of both worlds, residents enjoy access to the condo's amenities and services like garbage and snow removal that townhouse owners might not enjoy as much.

The townhouses' design by Workshop/APD presents an Art Deco-inspired tribute to the Post Office building that originally stood on the site and dated back to 1925. Residents are greeted by a red brick facade and a gated, arched entryway. Inside, features like arched entryways, chevron wood flooring, black metal detailing, and stacked tile nod to the building's history.
“We thought of it as Art Deco with a modern approach…Geometric shapes that suggest an envelope flap carry a ‘letters from home’ theme throughout the entire project” — Brook Quach, Design Director and Associate, Workshop/APD
