Morris Adjmi-Designed Building in South Williamsburg Tops Out

The steel and concrete structure for one of Brooklyn’s most interesting new buildings has reached the top story. The Morris Adjmi-designed mixed-use building at 282 South 5th Street has been in the works since 2012.

The unusual design, visible from Broadway and the platform at the Marcy Avenue subway station, features an apartment tower inside a transparent gridded shell, with shops on the ground floor. It will house 82 apartments in its 13 stories, as we reported previously.

Adjmi also designed the Townhouses of Cobble Hill and the Wythe Hotel.
