Vanderbilt complex

This Fort Greene residential and retail building is Brooklyn Grange’s third project in a series of landscape collaborations with Tankhouse, a Brooklyn-based real estate development firm.

Vanderbilt’s unique pink structure was designed to maximize outdoor space for its residents, making it a multi-tiered oasis filled with greenery. There are a variety of shared and private outdoor spaces, each distinct in size and function, to foster both collective activities and quiet respite. The lobby and amenity areas are surrounded by terraced gardens, creating a seamless flow between inside and out, while the stepped design allows natural light into the amenity-filled garden level.

The sixth floor also offers a unique landscaped terrace high above the surrounding brownstone rooftops, with panoramic views that stretch from the Williamsburg Savings Bank Building and across to the Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines.
