New Details on Luxury Condo Development The Oosten in South Williamsburg

A spokeswoman contacted us with new details about The Oosten, the Chinese developer-owned build at 429 Kent Avenue that will bring 201 condos and 15 townhomes to south Williamsburg. XIN Development Group plans 500,000 square feet of residential space on two acres on Kent between South 8th and South 9th streets, above. The condos and townhouses will range from one to six bedrooms, and the townhouses will have direct access to 15 private garages. There will also be four penthouses with elevator access to four private garages.

Dutch designer Piet Boon is designing all of the interiors, finishes and amenities, which will include jacuzzis in the townhomes and penthouses. The architect of record is WASA/Studio A. The developers will also set aside 10,000 square feet for a nonprofit art gallery. The Oosten’s amenities will include an indoor lap pool, fitness center, sauna and steam rooms, children’s play room, and a rooftop terrace with a reflection pool. Construction began recently and is expected to finish by the end of 2015. The site is currently being excavated, as our photo above shows.
