Brooklyn in 2017 is a study in juxtaposition. One of the oldest of North American cities is booming. Industry is set against  artistry; the new honors and pays homage to the old; urban decay makes way for renewal. Settled neighborhoods with century-old housing stock welcome new styles of architecture and design. And so it is with The Brooklyn Zinc, a 75-unit building inspired by contemporary European architecture as well as the industrial heritage of the neighborhood.

The Brooklyn Zinc offers thoughtfully designed apartments and luxurious shared spaces by Durukan Design. At the penthouse level, amenities include a fitness room, billiard lounge and a media room. In addition to a comfortable and welcoming lobby, there are outdoor spaces like the tranquil courtyard or the fully equipped rooftop terrace to provide oases from modern life.

It’s impossible to talk about The Brooklyn Zinc without mentioning the first impression it gives via its distinctive facade. Newly constructed from the ground up, the building gives off a uniquely urban vibe with its corrugated zinc facade — and the inspiration for the building’s name. Horizontal waves in the zinc cladding appear to move in the sunlight and add subtle texture that softens the building’s minimalist profile.

Apartments feature oversized casement windows to bring in generous helpings of light and views of the surrounding neighborhood and interior spaces such as the courtyard.

Ceilings are impressively high in the living areas at 10 feet, 6 inches, giving a loft-like quality to the homes.

High quality finishes include four-inch-wide white oak flooring, subway tile back splashes and Caesarstone counters.

The kitchens have been conceived to provide maximum enjoyment for serious cooks and dabblers alike, with a full suite of appliances and fixtures by Restoration Hardware. A chalkboard paint accent wall is as perfect for shopping lists as it is for inspirational quotes.

Master bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms with large-format floor tiles and Bellavita Metro white-tile walls. A glass cloche pendant light is suspended above a floating vanity with a Caesarstone white sink and chrome faucet.

Walk-in showers have mosaic tile floors and Kohler fixtures. Secondary bathrooms also feature large-format floor tiles, subway tile walls and floating vanities.

Throughout the building, exposed wood beams — in the bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms — speak to the industrial past of The Brooklyn Zinc site.

Thanks to ingenious set-backs, most apartments offer a private balcony or terrace. The fully furnished and landscaped shared rooftop terrace is the perfect summer vantage point for relaxing sunsets.

The light-filled fitness room will perk up your workout. And the media room is fully equipped for viewing alone or in a group.

The Brooklyn Zinc also offers onsite underground parking, a bike storage room, additional storage space for residents, and a pet spa.

Each apartment comes with its own washer and dryer, and there is also a building laundry room with large-capacity washers and dryers as well. A virtual doorman ensures seamless handling of deliveries 24/7.

Prospect Heights’ tree-lined streets are a study in contrasts, with historic homes mixing with modern architecture such as the Barclays Center. Shops and restaurants line Vanderbilt and Washington avenues, and Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) are nearby.

The Brooklyn Zinc is close to a variety of train lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, and Q.
