Unveiled in May, Williamsburg Wharf is a 3.75-acre mixed-use development bringing 1 million square feet of residential, commercial, and retail space, and a waterfront park to 464-484 Kent Avenue.
The development, unfolding in a series of phases, includes five 22-story luxury residential towers designed by a team of renowned firms, featuring Brandon Haw Architecture, Cookfox, Rockwell Group, Ward + Grey, Studio Munge, Hill West, Scape Landscape Architecture, and Future Green Studio.
When complete, the development will feature roughly 850 residences, with a mix of condos and rental homes.
Plans for housing at the waterfront site first emerged in 2008, when former property owner Abraham Rosenberg began the city’s land review process to rezone 470 Kent Avenue and allow for large-scale residential development, according to CityRealty.
Naftali entered into a contract to buy the site in February 2019 and closed on it the next spring, according to The Real Deal. In November 2022, the developer secured a $385 million construction loan to move forward with the project.
Construction on One Williamsburg Wharf is underway, with completion estimated for Q3 2025. SERHANT. New Development is handling sales and marketing for the project.
