A contemporary re-interpretation of an exquisitely detailed, 19th-century former college building into modern residences.
Occupying an entire Brooklyn city block, the renovation of the former St. John’s College re-imagines an exquisitely detailed, five-story brick building dating back to the mid-1800s into contemporary residences.
Talk to James Hickerson about The Hartby
Built in 1872 in by the Romanesque Revival Architect Patrick Keely, the building served the educational and religious needs of the area through the 1950s before serving as the home for various community institutions. The exterior features an intricate pattern of brickwork, around a central courtyard that is enclosed by the wings of building. An abundance of windows provides for ample natural light within the building.
The project involves converting the three wings of the former St. John’s parish center into 212 rental apartments ranging from studios, 1-bedroom to 2-bedrooms units. The building celebrates the expansive landscaped courtyard with controlled and private access for tenants.
Complementing the apartments will be over 10,000 sf of amenities, including a rooftop terrace with dining capabilities, a fully equipped exercise room, communal lounge, and shared workspaces for tenants.
