Olympia (Rendering credit: March Made)
New York's skyline is a monument to our city's ingenuity, aspirations, and commercial culture. With additions by the greatest builders and artisans from every corner of the globe, it is endlessly being recomposed, granting residents and visitors a slow-motion work of art continuously unfolding. Whether it be gazing onto sun-kissed reflections, dancing cranes, or watching the lights flicker on at blue hour, the skyline serves as an expression of our creative vitality and will likely never be finished.
As we become more acclimated to the pencil-thin supertalls near Central Park South and the glassy Goliaths of Hudson Yards, next to join an array of towers on the Brooklyn-Queens East River waterfront is Olympia, a 33-story condominium that will become the tallest building in DUMBO and a contemporary fixture on the Brooklyn skyline.

Sales are to begin later this year on Olympia's 76 one to five-bedroom homes. They will be priced from approximately $1.65 million and bestow unrivaled postcard views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. The sail-like structure is being designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Brooklyn-based Fortis Property Group. Residential and amenity interior spaces are being shaped by Workstead, and are said to use a palette of colors and materials that are grounded in the maritime and industrial inheritance of DUMBO’s waterfront.

As seen in renderings and a film created by March Made, the building will be clad in a patterned skin of near-full-height picture windows with sizeable terraces facing west. The building's five-story podium will host much of Olympia's 38,000 square feet of amenities that include a fitness center, yoga room, sauna, swimming pool, bowling alley, and a parking garage. Above, a dramatically receding tower will have no more than six units per floor and climax in a pair of full-floor penthouses with dazzling views.
The development team explains the building's name is an homage to DUMBO's historic name of Olympia prior to becoming part of the Parish of Brookland. The building's site is one block from Brooklyn Bridge Park, Time Out Market, and the performing arts institution St. Ann's Warehouse. As we await sales to officially launch, find below a range of newly-listed apartments with open views of the city's skyline, parks, and waterways.
