Modern Living in Williamsburg

Sugar Hill Capital Partners announces that 385 Union, Williamsburg’s newest luxury rental apartment building, has been fully repositioned in the marketplace and totally leased within 60 days. The six-story building experienced phenomenal activity as it was transformed to meet market demand for luxurious, modern living in one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

The 47-unit building has been reimagined inside and out by Sugar Hill Capital Partners subsidiary New Amsterdam Design Association (NADA) and Design High, with tailor-made features such as in-unit washer dryers, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private outdoor spaces. There is a communal workspace where residents can work and create in a studio-like environment.

The building, 385 Union was originally conceived and built as a condominium and was later turned into a rental. When Sugar Hill acquired it from its lender in June 2015, the building had fallen into disrepair. The company immediately began repairs and improvements to the windows, flooring, and electric. Residents can also enjoy a host of refreshed amenity spaces including covered parking, bike storage, gym, communal workspace, lounge, landscaped roof. The building also offers a secure package room, cold storage, online resident portal, video intercom, virtual doorman, and free wifi in amenity spaces.

“385 Union has been transformed to reflect the surrounding vibrant community of Williamsburg. Renters recognize the value in these beautiful living spaces, with the plentiful amenities that you don’t often find in non-doorman rental buildings – and that’s contributing to the enormous success here,” said Jeremy Salzberg, Partner at Sugar Hill Capital Partners.

New interior features include white oak flooring, and in-unit Bosch washer/dryers. The gracious kitchens offer stainless steel Bosch and Frigidaire appliances as well as European contemporary cabinetry. Select units also offer private outdoor space.

In keeping with the artistic and creative vibe of the neighborhood, Sugar Hill hired the innovative local artist Boy Kong to paint a mural on the exterior of the building. The work, called “A Ceremony,” is loosely based on the lines of a map and reflects the artist’s interest in abstract painting. Kong has also painted 10 pieces for the inside of the building.

One of the more unique features is the energy-efficient communal roof deck, designed with an innovative “green roof” system by VegetalID. The green energy initiative is managed by Fort Tryon Energy Management, a Sugar Hill affiliate company, in an ongoing commitment to conservation.

The building was represented by Katie Sobel, Vice President of New Development at MNS Realty, the exclusive listing and marketing agent for the project.

Set in the heart of Williamsburg, 385 Union is located just one block from the Lorimer L Train and the Metropolitan G Train, offering a quick commute to Manhattan. Residents are just steps from exciting nightlife as well as shopping and dining hotspots including Sweatshop, The Blind Barber, Parlor Coffee, Caracas, and Okonomi.
