Construction Update: 98 Front

Southeast corner from York Street.

Construction has wrapped up at Hope Street Capital’s 98 Front Street residential building in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Designed by ODA New York, the 10-story building features the firm’s signature eroded massing in the form of poured in place concrete and square proportioned punch windows. This massing strategy allows for outdoor space in the form of terraces and void spaces throughout.

Residents have access to a collection of amenities that includes a double height lobby and mailroom, residents lounge, co-working space, 7,000 square feet landscaped rooftop terrace, fitness center, indoor salt water pool and spa, steam room, children’s playroom, and bike storage.
