Since its opening, Williamsburg Edge has been on the leading edge of advances in apartment developments. Williamsburg Edge is aptly named as it is literally on the edge of the East River. With the name choice, however, the developers also wanted to put the spotlight on their innovative spirit. They take immense pride in their commitment to smart, green, and energy saving technology.

The Edge project is geared to sustainable living. Williamsburg Edge easily meets LEED-NC certification requirements. To receive this accreditation, a building must be 15% more efficient than is required by the New York State Energy Conversation Code.

The Edge is a leading environmentally responsible development. Williamsburg Edge was designed to enhance the overall quality of life. The dream is to focus on the good life - nature, family, community, health and wellness, as well as the future. The development addresses each of these facets either in its design or its implementation.

The 2 tower structures (one, 15-story, the second, 30-story) of concrete and blue glass has accomplished a near impossible task. Inspired by city rezoning, the Edge opened up the previously highly industrial waterfront to the Williamsburg public. This development has allowed the residents to connect more with the river instead of the buildings interfering with access.

The city of Williamsburg created the public riverside park. The landscape architects of the Edge presented it as a gateway to the East River and the magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline. The Edge wants its residents to enjoy fresh, clean living in a modern, sleek style. The Edge appeals to young hip singles as well as young happy families. Williamsburg Edge reaches out to anyone in any age group who enjoys an innovative, energetic approach to living.

Willamsburg Edge emphasizes family and community. The Edge encourages community spirit with its terrific terraces and luxurious lounges. Through its sophisticated series of buildings and towers, this development caters to everyone’s needs. It features a children’s playroom as well as a party room for all ages. The Edge has a chef’s kitchen, screening rooms, and a game room/virtual golf.

Williamsburg Edge wants its residents to participate in an active healthy lifestyle. Everyone can enjoy a plunge pool with waterfall as well as an all season pool. Residents can stay fit with fitness centers, a movement studio, and a multi-function sports facility. They can relax in sauna and steam baths, a healing whirl pool, and spa treatment rooms.

The residents of the Edge can benefit from the varied amenities in either simplexes, duplexes, or penthouses. The simplexes provide spacious storage and seamless design. Large bedroom closets and airy kitchen pantries help create a comfortable, generous space.

One portion of each duplex has a double-height ceiling with an over-sized wall of glass. Edge duplexes are offered in a variety of configurations. Many have private terraces. If you prefer a town house style, some duplexes have a private entrance as well as exclusive outdoor space.

Williamsburg Edge has created perfect penthouses which offer spectacular views. The floor- to-ceiling windows invite the sun’s warmth and the fireplaces warm the rooms on chilly days. Penthouses range in size from 1-3 bedrooms and can be duplexes.

The penthouse kitchens have high-end Energy Star appliances. The bathrooms in the penthouses feature beautiful tile and sleek style. Every apartment at the Edge, however, has state-of the-art appliances and innovative design.

The kitchens use integrated panel Miele refrigerators and dishwashers, Bosch cooktops and wall ovens. Residents find kitchen chores a breeze using Sharp in-cabinet microwaves and Hansgrohe faucets. Every bathroom has a platform soaking tub and a Toto dual-flush toilet with Epa Watersense label.

The Edge, with its 575 units in a neighborhood of trendy shops, was the largest real estate development to arrive it Williamsburg. The Edge arrived with luxury - selling Williamsburg’s most expensive condo, a duplex penthouse for over $5,000,000. Yet on the average, Edge condos are economically priced - 33% less than in Manhattan. Studios start at $420,000, and two bedrooms boast a price of $675,000.

Yet the affordable prices are not the only factor which draws people to the Edge. This Kent Avenue development owes its popularity to being a leading age property in a lovely neighborhood. Williamsburg Edge represents a happy, healthy lifestyle in a vibrant community. If you love to live on the edge or just love to live in exceptional style, then Williamsburg Edge will be right for you!

The palatial apartments recently underwent a $30 million renovation. This conversion has transformed the historic space into a modern condo community. The residents can now enjoy the benefits of Crestron Smart Home Technology. Apthorp state-of-the-art kitchens were designed by Smallbone of Devizes. Apthorp living even comes with 24-hour concierge services.

Now anyone can access the refined living of the Apthorp with prices in the range of $1,575,0000-$7,000,000.

This development, handled by Prudential Douglas Elliman, adds up to an extremely glorious deal. Residents of the Apthorp enjoy a neighborhood which is the center of art and music - while also probably having celebrity next-door neighbors. Brand new luxury condos simply can’t match the history, mystique, and romance of the Apthorp. Nobody wants to be just peeking through the Broadway arch when you have an opportunity to experience the luxury of the Apthorp.
