SEE: Brooklyn Heights Library Tower's Condos Hit The Market

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — Condos in the controversial project that rebuilt the Brooklyn Heights Library inside a 38-story residential tower have hit the market this week, three years after the building won approval from the city.

The 133 luxury residences include one, two, three, four and five bedroom options starting at just under $1.1 million. They were designed by Marvel Architects and built by Hudson Companies, the private developers that bought the former Cadman Plaza West library space for $52 million in late 2015.

The new building will include two retail spots on the first floor and the three-story rebuild of the Brooklyn Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, which has been operating out of a temporary location on Remsen Street since the former outpost was demolished.

“We began work five years ago and our focus has never changed: to develop a great condominium in Brooklyn’s best location," David Kramer, president of The Hudson Companies said Tuesday. "A building with this level of amenities, views and convenience simply doesn’t exist in Brooklyn today."

The building, now known as One Clinton, will offer residents a double-height Sky Lounge on the 26th floor, a 3,500-square-food terrace on the third floor and a fitness center that includes a yoga studio, sauna and hot tub. A "whimsical Children's Center" can also be found inside, with indoor and outdoor play areas.

On the first floor, Brooklyn Roasting Company will lease out one of the two retail spaces on Clinton Street. The second will feature vendors curated by Brooklyn's Smorgasburg.

The development plans also include a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) lab operated by the New York City Department of Education for local students. The sale also required Hudson to build more than 100 units of affordable housing in a nearby Clinton Hill spot.

Back in 2015, the project faced huge pushback from groups such as Citizens Defending Libraries, who argued that selling the library to a private developer could set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the city's public assets.

But, Brooklyn Public Library officials and other groups maintained that the project was a victory for residents who rely on public libraries throughout the borough. BPL will maintain control over the new library and profits from the sale to Hudson will be used to invest in other library's in Brooklyn, including a new library in Dumbo/Vinegar Hill/Farragut area.
