Williamsburg Retail Building

On what is developing into Williamsburg’s commercial gold coast, this new building will provide 21,500 sq.ft. of new retail and commercial space in a building whose structure and aesthetic are drawn from this unique neighborhood. The three story corner building is anchored by brick towers connected with a strong brick spandrel that wraps the corner of North Sixth Street and Berry Street. The dark brown handmade brick echoes the loft buildings built from similarly rough hewn materials in the area. The rest of the building proudly shows its steel structure of columns, beams and x-bracing, recalling the bridges and waterfront industrial structures that characterize Williamsburg. A rooftop restaurant uses this industrial structure as a pergola for outdoor dining.
