As New Yorkers wait to see when businesses will reopen and life will resume, it is heartening to remember that the city has come back from past disasters stronger than previously imagined. For example, Red Hook emerged from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy with new housing developments that pay tribute to its rich history. Proof of that can be found at The Van Brunt, a boutique condominium in the heart of the neighborhood and available for immediate occupancy. Closings commenced earlier this year, and remaining availabilities start at $795K.

All eight units come with floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit washer/dryers, and private balconies. The open layouts are underscored by central heating and cooling and radiant heated floors throughout. The kitchens are outfitted with European oak cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances. A shared roof deck looks out on sweeping views of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the building also offers a bike room.
Thanks to a combination of acclaimed local restaurants and big-box retailers, and a recently added ferry stop that makes for an easier and more scenic trip to Manhattan, it is no surprise that Brooklyn’s building boom has spread to Red Hook. However, one notable difference is that this area isn’t seeing the skyscrapers that have encroached upon its neighbors to the north. At the beginning of the year, permits were filed for three single-family townhouses at 22-26 Huntington Street. They join a growing number of boutique condominiums and refurbished townhouses.
When we emerge from the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more New Yorkers may find themselves drawn to the area's extra privacy and its buildings with extra space in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the remaining availabilities at The Van Brunt, see more listings below.
