Added to the List: Front & York, DUMBO
I’ve added Front & York to my Condos/Co-ops With Outdoor Pools list on Google Maps. Check it out!
This is one of the biggest new residential developments in DUMBO — a full-block project at 85 Jay Street, designed by Morris Adjmi Architects. It manages to look both new and contextual, with warehouse-style brickwork, grid windows, and metal detailing that fit right into the neighborhood’s industrial streetscape.
Inside, the apartments are as polished as you’d expect: high ceilings, chevron-patterned oak floors, Gaggenau appliances, marble baths, and big divided-light windows overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge or skyline. Most of the finishes lean warm and understated — it’s luxury, but not flashy.
The amenities are what put this place over the top. There’s a Life Time fitness club built into the base of the complex, co-working spaces, a wine room, children’s play areas, and a private half-acre park landscaped by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. And yes — an outdoor rooftop pool with cabanas and wide-open Manhattan views.
Prices vary a lot depending on floor and layout. Recent listings show one-bedrooms starting around $1.1 million, with larger homes and penthouses pushing well past $3 million. That puts it roughly in line with other high-end DUMBO buildings like Olympia or 1 John Street, though Front & York leans more toward resort-style amenities than minimalist loft living.
For buyers drawn to DUMBO’s mix of industrial character and luxury convenience — and who actually want an outdoor pool in the mix — this is about as comprehensive as it gets.
