Carter's Review

This 53-unit condominium apartment building at 42 Maspeth Avenue in the East Williamsburg section of Brooklyn is known as Forty2East and was developed in 2015 by Bondee Properties.

The building is 6 stories tall and is slightly angled.

Christopher V. Papa was the architect.  Durukan Design did the interiors.

It is a fifth of a mile distant from the Graham Avenue stop of the L subway.

Bottom Line

A highly articulated, dark, fortress-like structure with many balconies and white accents.
