As summer draws to a close and autumn is ushered in with colorful foliage and crisp winds, many New York City house hunters are ignited with a renewed spirit to find the perfect home.

For many residents living in the Upper West Side neighborhood, they are finding their perfect fit by crossing the East River to DUMBO, Brooklyn. DUMBO is a neighborhood known for its treasured lifestyle of quiet simplicity paired with refined options in dining, entertainment and living. Not to mention its close proximity to Brooklyn Bridge Park which offers kayaking, endless lawns, Jane’s Carousel, playgrounds, and much more.

For locals, the main attraction is often the luxury loft apartments that have been repurposed and outfitted with the most breathtaking finishes. At 51 Jay Street (51 Jay), a luxury residential warehouse conversion in the neighborhood, purchasers are hailing from neighborhoods including both the Upper West Side and TriBeCa. The development is an opportunity for everyone looking for a chance to own a piece of historical beauty in one of NYC’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

Designed by renowned architect Eran Chen of ODA architecture, the property maintains its historical landmark status and pays tribute to its roots as it was a former steel plate warehouse in the early 1900s, and ODA was able to incorporate this in the design through intricate details and refined touches. From the painted steel and glass canopy that evokes the industrial era to the trolley tracks running through the cement-laden lobby, 51 Jay is recasting as elegant modern design.

Only further enhancing its appeal, the lifestyle is like no other with programmed amenity spaces including around-the-clock concierge, fitness and yoga rooms as well as a children’s playroom and rooftop terrace.

As one of the fastest-selling developments in the city, 51 Jay continues to appeal to Manhattanites, especially those coming from the Upper West Side. Residences start at $2 million. For more information, visit www.51jayst.com.
