Williamsburg Wharf is a roughly four-acre luxury waterfront community on Kent Avenue in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, developed by Naftali Group with Access Industries and designed by COOKFOX Architects, a 36-story tower with 970 residences at 470 Kent Avenue that broke ground in 2024 and is set to finish in 2029. Financed with $525M from JPMorgan Chase in December 2025.
Riverfront. A 3.75-acre site. The master plan brings five residential towers ranging from 22 to 36 stories and about 1.2 million square feet of residential, retail and cultural space to the East River, wrapped around a public waterfront esplanade with Manhattan skyline views and a ferry landing at its edge. The completed first phase blends the One Williamsburg Wharf condominiums with more than 500 rental apartments across three 22-story buildings, served by a curated retail promenade that is drawing restaurants and a wine bar to Kent Avenue. The second phase, 80 Wharf Way, adds two condominium towers of roughly 415 and 460 feet with 363 for-sale residences and more than 17,000 square feet of lifestyle amenities, completing one of the largest private waterfront assemblages in North Brooklyn.
Foundation slab and perimeter walls are largely formed at 80 Wharf Way as excavation wraps at the southeast corner, starting the two-tower final phase beside the South Williamsburg ferry landing, with substantial completion stated for spring 2029.
