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.
