Lonicera Partners, Rabina and Davis Companies begin move-ins at House 55

Brooklyn, NY Developers Lonicera Partners and Rabina, alongside partner The Davis Companies (Davis), have begun the first move-ins at House 55, a 43-story residential tower located at 55 Willoughby St. House 55 features 295 units across 41 residential floors, including 89 total affordable housing units, with amenity space and views of the city skyline.

House 55 offers luxurious unit finishes, premier amenity spaces and event programming, and exceptional access to transportation, allowing for easy commutes across the city. The building hosts a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom pet-friendly apartments, a 24-hour lobby, and a rooftop lounge and sundeck with an outdoor kitchen and dining cabanas. The tower is known for its architecture, utilizing air rights to maximize new living space and cantilever over a neighboring building.

“We’re excited to launch our newest offering to the downtown Brooklyn rental market. The building is perfectly positioned to cater to the current wants and needs of the community and the response has been wonderful,” said Anthony Cekay at Lonicera Partners. “The full project team, including Colberg Architecture, Noble Construction Group and of course our partners and lenders, have executed incredibly well, which has translated to an even better building than we expected.”

House 55 features a co-working lounge with reservable conference rooms and individual meeting spaces. To unwind after work, head to the amenities space on the 42^nd floor to enjoy the great room lounge and fireplace, the game room featuring arcade boxes and table games, workout in the fitness center, or host a dinner party in the dining room and catering kitchen.

All units at House 55 feature in-home Bosch washers and dryers, nine-ft. ceilings in major rooms, central heat and air conditioning and smart door lock hardware. Kitchens and bathrooms are equipped with custom stainless steel and porcelain finishes, offering residents a premier experience in comfort and luxury.

“This milestone at House 55 is a testament to Davis’ continued commitment to growth in the New York market and our mission to invest in high-quality housing options across the country,” said Stephen Skolas, managing director and Residential Vertical Development lead at Davis. “The building’s offerings are uniquely positioned for the modern professional world. As Davis’ residential vertical continues to grow nationwide with high-quality investment and development in key markets, we are especially proud to bring an elevated living option to the rapidly growing Brooklyn market.”

The building, designed by Colberg Architecture, provides views of the city neighborhood, stretching to downtown Manhattan. Located close to NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering and the MetroTech Center in Brooklyn, House 55 sits amid a bustling area of business activity seeing continued investment and growth in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

House 55 marks the second project in a multi-year partnership between Davis and Lonicera Partners, which includes the 12-story luxury apartment building The Symon at 76 Schermerhorn St., completed in 2021.
