“7 DeKalb Ave. affords residents the opportunity to live in a tower where the emphasis is on redefining how modern day Brooklynites live – we are offering spacious and refined apartments, a top-tier amenities collection and most importantly access,” said Aron Gooblar, VP of Washington Square Partners. “As Downtown Brooklyn quickly earns the distinction of being a 24/7 neighborhood and shop and play destination, 7 DeKalb residents have access to City Point’s retail, restaurants, entertainment and public transportation.”

Designed by COOKFOX with interior architecture by SLCE Architects, BanG Studio, and Trimbach, the tower will be an addition to the skyline and features a zinc façade that will temper and age with time.

All homes, ranging in size from 650 s/f one-bedrooms to 1,100 s/f two-bedroom homes.

They feature large floor plans, walnut hardwood floors throughout and 9-ft. ceilings; each apartment boasts classic Brooklyn and Manhattan views, and select residences are outfitted with private terraces. Kitchens are ideal for entertaining and come equipped with state-of-the-art GE stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops and AYA Tribeca Serra Textured Melamine cabinets. Bathrooms feature sophisticated chrome bath fixtures and polished white quartz tiles.

“This project, now a reality, comes at an exciting time as modern day living in DoBro – one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the country – undergoes a renaissance,” said Donald Capoccia, a partner with Joseph Ferrara and Brandon Baron at BFC Partners. “7 DeKalb, and on a larger scale, City Point, provides the community with housing, commercial space and recreational amenities, all of which will benefit residents, businesses and organizations.”

Additionally, residents will be able to utilize a host of amenities including a 6,000 s/f public terrace with planting gardens, lawn space and bar counter; a 24-hour monitored lobby; an on-site resident manager, two resident lounges, a 1,500 s/f fitness center with separate weight room; a play room, lounge, screening room, laundry rooms on each floor and allowances for pets.
