Overview: Williamsburg Grows Up

For years, the joke has been that the best thing about Williamsburg is that it’s the East Village, while the worst thing about it is… that it’s the new East Village. 10 years ago, this meant that Williamsburg was filled with hipsters flocking to art openings, loft parties, or shows at dive bars. While this facet of Williamsburg life is still there (and there to stay), Williamsburg has come to resemble the East Village in other aspects well. These include the presences of sushi restaurants, upscale lounges, designer furniture stores and, now, luxury condominiums.

80 Metropolitan is a completely new condo development, built on the site of the Old Dutch Mustard Company building. GreenbergFarrow’s design is tastefully reminiscent of the site’s- and neighborhood’s- industrial character. This does not mean that life inside 80 Metropolitan in any way resembles life inside a warehouse loft. The units’ luxurious kitchens include Liebherr refrigerators, Miele ovens and cook tops, Bosch dishwashers, marble finishes, polished Caesarstone countertops, lacquer and glass cabinetry with Wenge details, and garbage disposals. Baths include glass showers with marble benches, double sinks, Grohe Rainwater Showerheads, and custom Wenge Vanities. In apartment washers and dryers ensure the best of both worlds: living in Williamsburg, but never having to schlep down to the twenty-four hour laundromat on Bedford and Metropolitan.
