Progress marches on at Quay Tower, Brooklyn Bridge Park’s soon-to-be 126-condo building on the waterfront at Pier 6. Today, the team topped out on the 28-story structure which will ultimately lend buyers far-reaching views of the harbor and skyline. The building's separate sister tower, located behind at 15 Bridge Park Drive, topped out earlier this year at 15 floors.
Earlier this week, the project's developers: RAL Companies and Oliver’s Realty Group, revealed that California-based Marmol Radziner will be designing Quay Tower's interiors. This marks the AD100 firm’s first East Coast residential foray. They will refine the building's 126 homes ranging in size from 2- to 5-bedrooms, as well as their accompanying amenity spaces. The tower’s interior design is intended to harmonize nature and structure, while complementing the active lifestyle that goes with living on the Brooklyn Heights – DUMBO waterfront.

Sales at Quay Tower are scheduled to launch later this spring, with pricing beginning at $1.9 million and Douglas Elliman handling the sales and marketing.
Homes will be finished in rich, mixed woods, luxe metals, and natural stones. Custom kitchens will feature white oak cabinetry, contrasted with slabs of leathered-finish quartzite countertops and satin bronze accents. Oversized master bathrooms clad in hand-selected Alabastrino Rustico travertine marble will continue the modern elegance.
So far, announced amenities include a fitness center, a children’s room, a dog washing room, and a 4,000-square-foot rooftop terrace.

The gridded facades are now dressing the structural frames of both towers. The skin will ultimately feature large windows interspersed with outdoor loggias. Building architect ODA New York cites its design concept echoes the neighborhood’s industrial history while uniting it with its residential present.
The neighboring 15 Bridge Park will stand as a mixed-use rental building upon its intended completion next spring. The building is slated to house 140 apartments, 100 of which will be designated as affordable, and the remainder market-rate.

Construction progress as of early April
Progress on both towers had slowed due to a pending lawsuit by The Brooklyn Heights Association against the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation, which was dismissed in February. The civic group claimed that the BBPC violated its agreement to develop only the amount of housing necessary to fund the park’s financial needs, while the BBPC countered that the housing complexes would provide funds necessary to maintain compromised timber piles supporting the East River pier. BHA announced that it would not seek to appeal the legal ruling in late March.
Both developments stand on the doorstep of Brooklyn Bridge Park, enabling residents and tenants to enjoy acres of recreational space, including playgrounds, soccer fields, passive lawns, and a roller skating rink. The East River Ferry provides easy access to Wall Street, Governor’s Island, and beyond.
