Acadia Realty Trust/Washington Square Partners and BFC Partners, developers of Downtown Brooklyn’s (DoBro) 7 DeKalb Avenue (7 DeKalb), announced today that the tower has reached 60 percent leased for its 50 market-rate residences. Additionally, the 23-story residential tower has announced the completion of its 6,000-square-foot rooftop terrace, complete with planting gardens, lawn space, and bar counter area. The development is quickly approaching full occupancy with limited one- and two-bedroom residences with private terraces on the market.
“It’s an exciting time for 7 DeKalb as the building has experienced tremendous success due to its convenient location, high-quality design, and impressive amenities,” said Aron Gooblar, Vice President at Washington Square Partners, co-developer of 7 DeKalb. “The residence offers private terraces in its one-and two-bedroom units, and we are confident this unique offering will continue to drive in tenants.”
The 6,000-square-foot rooftop terrace is equipped with lawn space, lounge and patio furniture, covered sitting areas, and a variety of greenery, including a vegetable garden with spinach, lettuce, cabbage, mustard greens, tomatoes, parsley, among many others.
Designed by COOKFOX with interiors by SLCE Architects, BanG Studio, and Trimbach, the residential tower features one- and two-bedroom apartments outfitted with walnut hardwood floors throughout and nine-foot ceilings, ranging in size from 650 square feet to 1,100 square feet. Kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, and AYA Tribeca Serra Textured Melamine cabinets, while bathrooms are equipped with chrome fixtures and polished white quartz tiles. Many of the homes feature spacious private terraces up to over 600 square feet, a rare offering in DoBro.
Additional amenities include a 24-hour monitored lobby, on-site resident manager, two resident lounges, 1,500-square-foot fitness center with a separate weight room, play room, screening room, laundry rooms on each floor, and allowances for pets.
