Carter's Review

The two-building complex at 247 North 7^th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn was erected by Adam America in 2016 and has 169 rental apartments.

The complex is bounded by Roebling, Havemeyer and North 7^th and North 8^th streets.

The grey-colored buildings have a setback top floor and enclose a handsome and very nicely landscaped courtyard.

Plans were first filed for the project in 2006 Rieder Holdings bought the site for $12 million in 2011 and sold it the next year to Silverstone Property Group.  According to newyorkyimby.com, “Adam America took over the property and its monstrous mortgage for an undisclosed amount in 2013.”

According to an article by Danielle Balbi in the March 9, 2016 edition of commercialobserver.com, Adam America sold the property to Greystar of Charleston, S.C., for about $125 million.

The property is about a three-minute walk from the Bedford Avenue station of the L subway.
