Designed by Rogers Marvel Architects, the pipeline scheme will be developed at a site adjacent to Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The project involves construction of two buildings. One 10-storey building will accommodate a Starwood Capital’s 1 Hotel branded 200-room hotel and condominium, while the other five-storey building will be purely residential block.
The project involves construction of approximately 550,000 square feet, which will consist of about 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor restaurant space, 16,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space, more than 2,000 square feet of retail space, a 6,000 square foot spa and fitness center and 300 underground parking spaces.
The development will, in total, offer 159 condominiums, which will be marketed under the Toll Brothers City Living brand. The amenities for the residents of the condominium will consist of a state-of-the-art fitness centre, children’s playroom, and bike storage, which will together encompass an area of about 12,000 square feet. The residents will also enjoy preferred access to the 1 Hotel spa and services.
The two buildings will feature a stepped facade of stone and metal. To cut back heating effect, the roof of the two buildings will feature vegetated gardens. The development will embrace host of green features, based on which it is being targeted for LEED Silver Certification.
The project also involves construction of several walkways to access the park and Furman Street. Groundbreaking on the scheme is scheduled for early 2013, with completion of project slated for late 2015.
