Waverly Brooklyn Leads the NYC Renaissance of Béton Brut Architectural Concrete; Serves as Antithesis of the Glass Building
Orange Management, a leading Manhattan-based real estate firm, today announced the launch of sales at its latest luxury condominium development, Waverly Brooklyn(Waverly), in the historic neighborhood of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Situated at the nexus of Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Prospect Heights, the development (located at 500 Waverly Avenue) will set a new luxury standard for the area – a full-service building with high-end interiors and a distinctive façade design that puts it at the vanguard of the architectural concrete renaissance in New York City (NYC).
With GKV Architects directing both the interior and exterior programs for the seven-story, 48-unit development, Waverly introduces a unique look for Brooklyn, with a façade comprised of architectural concrete ‘picture frames,’ hand-laid Norman brick and custom fenestration. Residences, which range from studios to four-bedroom homes, include penthouses and other units with spacious private terraces. All homes offer highly-intelligent layouts, with graciously-sized rooms and entryways.
“As our first condominium development in the borough, we wanted to ensure that the location was quintessentially Brooklyn. We wanted do a project in a neighborhood with tree-lined streets and landmarked brownstones, while simultaneously offering direct-to-Manhattan subway access and top-notch amenities,” stated Andrew Bradfield, principal of Orange Management, which operates rental buildings in the area. “Waverly Brooklyn is located on a prominent corner adjacent to two of Brooklyn’s most-prized Historic Districts – Clinton Hill and Fort Greene.”
The open-plan kitchens feature fully-integrated appliances, generously-scaled breakfast bars with built-in storage, honed quartz countertops and abundant cabinetry finished with an elegant combination of oak wood and white lacquer. An array of high-end European appliances and fixtures—from Bosch, Bertazzoni, Grohe and Liebherr allow for gourmet-level functionality. Select three-bedroom, four-bedroom and penthouse units also feature Bosch speed ovens, wall ovens and 36-inch cooktops.
Materially rich, clean and contemporary, Waverly bathrooms offer Italian porcelain floor tile from Atlas Concorde and large-format floor-to-ceiling wall tile. Custom wood vanities are topped with Calacatta Oro quartz. The glass-enclosed showers are finished with matching porcelain mosaic tile from Atlas Concorde.
With MNS exclusively handling sales and marketing for the building, pricing for 517-square-foot studios start at approximately $595,000 and go up to $2.4 million for a four-bedroom penthouse home.
“Waverly Brooklyn will clearly appeal to the current wave of buyers who are looking to make the move to Brooklyn, but equally to existing residents from the surrounding area who are looking for modern alternatives to brownstones and townhomes,” said Highlyann Krasnow, partner at MNS. “Waverly Brooklyn is filling a gap in the condominium market in Brooklyn, especially with its fabulous amenity package and we’re excited to be working with the development team on it.”
Additionally, Krasnow and her design team will be handling the interiors staging at Waverly.
The top-level services and amenities at Waverly include an attended lobby; a resident lounge with library, media center and kitchenette adjacent to a second-floor terrace with outdoor cooking and dining facilities; a landscaped and furnished courtyard with gas grills and communal dining area; a landscaped and furnished rooftop garden with outdoor shower and NYC views; a fitness center; bicycle storage for rent; and private storage that is available for purchase. In addition, the development will include Brooklyn’s first fully-automated parking garage, with spaces available for rent, as well as a 8,752-square-foot retail space.
Located at the corner of Fulton Street and Waverly Avenue, Waverly straddles the border between the Clinton Hill and Fort Greene neighborhoods. Clinton Hill mixes a wide selection of artisanal restaurant cuisine, galleries, and eclectic shopping, while Fort Greene is home to its own restaurant corridor as well as a variety of local cultural and entertainment venues, including Barclays Center and Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
Some of the borough’s most-cherished green spaces are in close proximity including Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Prospect Park, and just a few blocks away is the new eight-acre Pacific Park (currently in construction). Directly across the street is a neighborhood hot spot, Emily—a destination pizza venue, which also serves an award-winning burger. Sisters bar and restaurant, an offering by the Flatbush Farm team, is just a block away. Other notable eateries, the Finch and Locanda Vini & Olii are also close by, offering residents a myriad of neighborhood offerings. High-end retailers are just a short walk away including Barneys Coop, Rag & Bone, Shinola, as well as fast fashion purveyors like H&M and Uniqlo. For those looking to travel out of the neighborhood, the Manhattan-bound C train is across the street and Atlantic Terminal is a 10-minute walk away -- with nine Manhattan-bound subway lines as well as a Long Island Rail Road Station, providing access to the entire length of Long Island.
