Williamsburg’s skyline gets a new neighbor

Pacific Urban Investors just snapped up The Garnett in Williamsburg, adding 113 modern apartments to their growing NYC portfolio. For locals, this means even more buzz in an already vibrant neighborhood—think new faces, more energy, and possibly a shift in the rental scene. The Garnett stands out with its rooftop views, fitness center, and prime spot near Bedford Avenue’s best eats and Domino Park. With fewer new buildings expected due to city policy changes, this move could make existing apartments even more valuable. How do you think this will shape Williamsburg’s future vibe? #RealEstate #Williamsburg #NYCRealEstate

Williamsburg property sells for $66M—below asking

A fully leased six-story building in Williamsburg just changed hands for $66.3 million—nearly $15 million less than its original asking price. The property, which includes 45 apartments and 27,000 square feet of retail space, was developed in 2019 and has been a hot topic among real estate watchers. With two-bedroom units renting for over $7,000 a month, it’s a reminder of how even prime Brooklyn real estate isn’t immune to shifting market realities. What do you think this means for the future of local property values and rents? #RealEstate #Williamsburg #BrooklynRealEstate

Wythe Diner’s next chapter: What’s coming to Williamsburg

Williamsburg’s legendary Wythe Diner site just sold for $12.5 million, closing the book on decades of neighborhood memories. Soon, a six-story building with 28 apartments and new retail will rise on this iconic corner. What’s wild is the diner’s vintage prefab shell isn’t being trashed—it’s getting preserved and relocated, with details coming soon. For locals who remember grabbing coffee, tacos, or even Chanel samples here, this feels like the end of an era. How do you feel about another piece of old-school Brooklyn making way for new development? #Business #Williamsburg #WytheDiner

Williamsburg rents could jump as tax break ends

Big changes are coming for renters at The Garnett in Williamsburg. With Pacific Urban Investors buying the 113-unit building for $82.5M, and the 421a tax exemption expiring next year, rents could soon rise to market rates once current tenants move out. This move highlights how fast Brooklyn’s rental market is shifting, especially as fewer new buildings get built under the old tax program. For locals, this could mean higher rents and fewer affordable options. How do you feel about the changing face of Williamsburg and the future of rent-stabilized housing? #RealEstate #Williamsburg #BrooklynRealEstate
