Developing Brooklyn: 144 Vanderbilt
Brooklyn, NY Designed by the award-winning architecture firm SO-IL, 144 Vanderbilt is a creative reimagining of Brooklyn living. Prominently located at the corner of Vanderbilt and Myrtle Ave., the eight-story building features 26 designed two- to four-bedroom condominium residences across 21 distinct floor plans, as well as retail space at the ground level. The building’s inventive composition, reminiscent of a historic village, embraces playful architecture and design, where components are stacked at varying heights, angles, and setbacks. Each residence stands out due to these subtle shifts, and large windows frame views of Brooklyn, Fort Greene Park, Manhattan, the East River and beyond. Semi-outdoor corridors offer framed views along Myrtle and Vanderbilt Ave., while terraces and breezeways facilitate natural ventilation and maintain a continuous connection to the surrounding neighborhood.
Tankhouse and SO-IL’s unconventional design not only captivates with its innovative appearance but also facilitates unique floor plans, abundant natural light, lush greenery and landscaping, and an amenity package that enhances the community experience. 144 Vanderbilt offers over 11,000 s/f of private amenity space for only 26 residences.
Shared and private outdoor spaces, each distinct in size and function, respect and complement the Fort Greene neighborhood and foster collective activities and resident interaction, while indoor amenities nestled between gardens include a coworking and residents’ lounge, fitness center, children’s playroom, game room and studio.
