Thoughtfully designed with an efficient layout and no wasted space, Residence 3B is set within a former concrete daylight factory and features soaring ceilings reaching approximately 10 feet 10 inches, oversized factory-style windows and an abundance of natural light. Restored concrete beams and columns honor the building's architectural heritage, while wide-plank white oak flooring brings warmth and sophistication throughout.
The custom RiFRA Italian kitchen is both striking and highly functional, featuring Miele appliances, porcelain stone countertops, a blackened Dornbracht faucet and a bleached white oak island that provides a natural gathering place for dining and entertaining.
The generously proportioned primary suite offers custom walk-in closets from California Closets and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The spa-like bath is appointed with a custom Haisa marble mosaic floor, dual showers with Dornbracht fixtures, large-format heather-gray porcelain tile and a custom RiFRA bleached white oak vanity.
The split-bedroom layout provides privacy and flexibility, making the residence equally well suited for comfortable everyday living, overnight guests or a dedicated home office.
Building amenities include a private courtyard entrance, 24-hour doorman, elegant lobby lounge, bicycle storage, a landscaped common roof deck and a state-of-the-art fitness center designed by La Palestra.

Quick Profile
DUMBO, which is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, used to be a lively industrial and manufacturing zone, full of large factories and warehouses. These buildings have now been converted into expansive lofts, theaters, galleries, and office spaces for start-up companies. These larger residential spaces are attractive to families and creative artists and writers who need space to dream and create.
DUMBO was named in 1978 as a sort of reverse marketing ploy to try to keep people from swarming into the area, attracted by the quaint tree-lined streets, elegant historic brownstones, large lofts, and views of Lower Manhattan. It was felt that this influx of people would change the nature of the neighborhood. It was hoped that by giving the area a ridiculous name, nobody would want to live there.
Many of the neighborhood’s bars, hotels, and restaurants capitalize on the stunning waterfront views and the Manhattan skyline in the background. Interesting and fun cultural events are held under and around the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges that connect DUMBO to Manhattan. One of these is the annual Oktoberfest.
With beautiful vignettes of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges being framed around every corner, DUMBO provides residents and tourists with charming, and often surprising, views. Because the neighborhood is eminently walkable and filled with unique shops, it feels like a small town on the edge of a major urban waterfront. Once people move to DUMBO, they tend to stay and become involved in the community.
