Leasing Starts at Naftali Group Apartments in Brooklyn

By Dees Stribling, Contributing Editor

New York—Leasing has started at the Bergen, an 84-unit apartment community at 316 Bergen Street in Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. The locally based Naftali Group and AEW Capital Management are developing the property, which is being leased by aptsandlofts.com.

The building features a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units with interiors designed by ODA Architecture. Some units include private balconies or terraces and there are washer/dryers in most residences. Prices will begin at $2,123 for studios, $2,536 for one-bedrooms and $3,520 for two-bedrooms.

Amenities include a landscaped roof deck furnished with cabanas, private dining areas, and outdoor showers and barbeque. The property also includes a fitness center with outdoor workout space and a yoga deck, landscaped outdoor lounge, and a media lounge with wet bar entertainment area. The building will be staffed by a full-time doorman.

Located at the corner of 3rd Ave. and Bergen St., the building is a few blocks from a recently opened Whole Foods, as well as the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center. The property location also provides access to transit at Atlantic Terminal.

Before the recession, architect Karl Fischer had planned a property on the site, but that didn’t happen. About two years ago, the Naftali Group and AEW Capital bought the site for about $6.7 million.
