Building: The Grand

Grand defines the location and the impact of this chic new boutique condominium residence in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But while the name suggests large-scale, it is the upscale details that truly set The Grand apart, starting with the elegant 8-feet tall entrances that usher you inside every apartment to the built-in iPod docks and integrated speaker systems that are ready to rock the moment you move in.

Stepping into a home here is like entering a modern art gallery. White oak flooring and high ceilings set a motif of clean lines that continues with high-end touches like the stainless steel backsplash in the kitchen and glass tiling in the baths. Large windows invite light in as the balconies or terraces that come with each unit beckon you to step out. A landscaped common courtyard provides additional outdoor space.

While the look and livability of the apartments at The Grand make staying in anything but Plan B, the building’s location makes going out absolutely effortless. Buzzed-about Billyburg nightlife mainstays like DuMont, Barcade, and Union Pool are just steps away and popping into Manhattan is as easy as catching the L train at Lorimer Street just 3 blocks away.
