Hill West · Dumbo · 2023
Construction has wrapped up at Fortis Property Group’s residential condo tower Olympia at 30 Front Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn. Designed by Hill West Architects, the 33-story tower’s massing resembles a sail and sits on a triangular shaped site. The tower is clad in large glass panels with horizontal and vertical metal panel accents. Private terraces at each floor cascade down the tower’s northwest corner, giving residents a panoramic view of the East River waterfront and Lower Manhattan.

Residents will have access to 38,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities on three floors. The ground floor program includes a porte cochere, triple height lobby, gardens and adjacent garden lounge. At the roof of the podium amenities include a indoor lap pool, outdoor pool and hot tub, dry sauna, steam room, tennis court, and shipwreck playground. The club level will offer a fitness center, spin studio, boxing gym, two-lane bowling alley, club lounge, and lighthouse playroom.

The development offers 76 condo units ranging in size from 1-to-5 bedrooms, many with panoramic views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline. Interiors for the residences are designed by Workstead and feature kitchens with textured maple cabinetry, satin-finished stainless steel, and honed Fior di Bosco marble countertops and backsplashes.

The first phase of the LICH master plan includes eight four-story townhouses, known as the Polhemus Townhouses, which are sited next to the historic Polhemus Building. That structure, built in 1897, will be restored and converted into condos by BKSK Architects. Further projects under the second phase of the master plan include two additional towers. FXCollaborative will design 1 Park River, while Hill West Architects will lead the design of 2 River Park.
