Building: The Edge - North Tower

The Edge is the preeminent luxury condominium complex in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Built by Douglaston Development and completed in 2009, the Edge is perfectly situated on the East River waterfront offering breathtaking views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. This building is without a doubt an iconic addition to an already incredible neighborhood and in 2012 was awarded LEED Gold certification, making it the largest residential development in NYC to achieve the title and one of the greenest buildings in the country.

The Edge is comprised of a north and a south tower, offering ideal living situations for a variety of buyers. The south tower at 22 North 6th Street is made up of 360 units. The north tower at 34 North 7th Street is comprised of 205 units. Units range in size from studios to 3 bedrooms, including stunning penthouse duplexes. Both towers also offer underground parking, on-site hybrid Zip cars, bike room and storage rooms, all connected thru the main lobbies via separate elevators for convenience.

Boasting arguably the best amenities package in all of New York City, the Edge offers an impressive array of common spaces and resources to its residents. American Leisure maintains on-site management of the extensive amenities spaces, which include a swimming area with an all-season pool, splash pool with waterfall, healing whirlpool, sauna, Turkish steam baths, an outdoor courtyard, two rooftop terraces, two fitness centers, two screening rooms, a multi-function sports facility with a full size indoor basketball court (which is also used to host soccer matches, yoga classes, ballroom dancing, and volleyball games). The offerings continue with a separate yoga & dance studio, spa treatment rooms, virtual golf, traditional & electronic gaming rooms, 24 hour doorman, on-site concierge service, children’s playroom, two lounges with chef kitchens and large flat screen TVs, and full time support staff (porters, superintendents, resident manager, etc.).

The Edge was built with sustainable design in mind, using natural materials, and energy-efficient appliances and systems. All units exceed the New York State Energy Conservation Code as filtered air is circulated into each apartment. Other notable features include insulated walls and floor-to-ceiling windows, non VOC-emitting interior finishes, individual lighting and temperature controls and occupancy sensors for lighting in common areas. Space and design are prioritized in each unit, with top-of-the-line appliances and sizable storage spaces. The open kitchens are outfitted with sizable pantries and bedrooms with large closets, and each unit features high-energy Bosch washers and dryers. The wood for both the stunning white oak floors and kitchen cabinetry comes from FSC-Certified forests.

The location offers the best of all worlds, with spectacular city skyline views, yet enough green space to feel at home away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Looking for weekend fun? Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Flea are literally at your doorstep. Enjoy easy access to the best restaurants, rooftop bars, cafes and shopping that have made Williamsburg one of the most desirable neighborhoods globally. The East River State Park, located next door, and McCarren Park, less than a ten minute walk north, offer various outdoor activities. A short stroll to the Bedford Avenue subway stop on the L train or a relaxing ride to Midtown or Downtown Manhattan on the East River Ferry, this location provides easy access to Manhattan and Brooklyn.
