When GFP Real Estate acquired this century-old warehouse building, they were making a bet that creative companies would want office space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Over the past 20 years, Williamsburg has transformed from an industrial and immigrant area to one of the city’s hottest destinations for young people, with apartments, trendy boutiques, restaurants, music and art, but no office buildings until recently.

GFP completely transformed the industrial building into a state-of-the-art workplace for tech-savvy tenants. It offers full-floor boutique lofts that enable flexibility and efficiency while retaining the architecture’s historic character. GFP selected View Smart Windows to maximize daylight in the space, which has relatively small window openings but high ceilings. It will also save energy and improve the comfort and wellness of occupants.

We’ve always wanted our office space in Williamsburg to embody our company’s unique culture and that was hard to do in a shared office space. Natural light was at the top of the list of must-have amenities. With loft style space, light-filled open floor plans and high ceilings, N6 was the perfect choice. View Smart Windows give us the comfort of optimal natural light without heat and glare and the flexibility of working anywhere at any time of the day in the office. View Smart Windows were most certainly a part of our decision in signing a lease here, and the experience has far surpassed our expectation since we moved in. It is amazing.

Most importantly, this ultra-modern amenity has helped attract forward-thinking tenants. The building is asking $11 higher rent than other office conversions in the neighborhood, many of which have views of Manhattan and are closer to retail and restaurants. Tenants began leasing space before renovations were complete. The anchor tenant, AGW, is a fast-growing marketing and communications agency that had outgrown their co-working space.
