Front & York is a full-block residential building at 85 Jay Street in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. CIM Group and LIVWRK developed the building, and Morris Adjmi Architects designed it.[1]

History and development

CIM Group, Kushner Companies, and LIVWRK purchased the site in December 2016 for $345 million.[2] The site was one of several in Brooklyn purchased from Jehovah's Witnesses by Kushner Companies and a set of partner companies.[3] When purchased, the parcel was being used as a parking lot. At the time of the transaction, CIM had a 95% stake in the project, with LIVWRK and Kushner owning a combined 5%.[4]

CIM Group purchased Kushner Companies' stake in 2018.[5] JPMorgan provided the developers a $131.2 million construction loan in May 2020.[5] The building topped out in July 2020,[6] and window installation had begun as of October.[7]

Design

Morris Adjmi Architects, the firm that designed Front & York, is known for re-purposing existing buildings, especially industrial structures, and for producing designs that draw inspiration from pre-existing, local architectural context.[8][9]

Usage and impact

The building is residential. Upon completion, the building will contain 320 rental apartments and 408 condominiums.[10] The building will be the largest in Dumbo when completed. Norman Oder, writing for The Bridge, speculated that it could increase the neighborhood's population by as much as 25%.[4] The increase in population is expected to impact the York Street station of the New York City Subway.[7]

The building has several retail tenants, including a restaurant, a veterinary practice, and a daycare.[11]

Condominium owners and renters will have access to a pool, a parking lot, and a private park. Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates designed the park. The organization also designed nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park.[12]
