One Wharf Way (80 Wharf Way)

The developer describes two towers rising to about 415 and 460 feet, more than 17,000 square feet of amenities, more than 285 feet of East River frontage and views east and west across the river to Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn. Published renderings by COOKFOX show a light facade with oversized windows and many balconies and terraces.

The Department of Buildings filing gives a different picture. The new-building application, filed by COOKFOX in January 2024 and permitted in December 2024, describes a single 39-story, 272-foot mixed-use building of about 611,000 square feet with 360 dwelling units, on a flood-zone lot with an environmental "little e" designation. Some listing records show 20 stories and 218 apartments. A height measured to the roof under zoning can be lower than an announced architectural height, but a 39-story single building and two towers of 415 and 460 feet are not easy to reconcile. A buyer should rely on the offering plan's description when it is filed.

The site is tax lot 150 on block 2134, carried in PLUTO as vacant land at 1 Division Avenue, owned by 470 Kent Ave Associates II LLC.

Phase one is three buildings at 480 Kent Avenue, 482 Kent Avenue and 11 Wharf Way, with 89 for-sale homes at One Williamsburg Wharf and more than 500 rentals. One Williamsburg Wharf was reported nearly 65% sold by mid-December 2025. When complete, the master plan is described as five residential towers of 22 to 36 stories and about 1.2 million square feet, organized around a public esplanade along the river.

The phase-one condominium declaration covers all three phase-one buildings, with each rental block held as a single unit. Whether phase two will be its own condominium or will join that structure has not been published. It matters for voting, shared costs and the esplanade's upkeep.

No plan yet. A sponsor may collect expressions of interest before acceptance, but not deposits. Prices, unit counts and the tower design can change before the plan is accepted.

Construction next door. Phase-one owners will live beside this construction through 2028, and phase-two buyers will close into a site with work still under way. Ask about the construction schedule, crane and staging locations, and the esplanade completion date.

Flood zone. The filing requires flood-zone compliance. Ask the plan for the design flood elevation, where mechanical equipment sits and what flood insurance the condominium carries.

Closing costs at this scale. Sponsor sales customarily shift the transfer taxes to the buyer, and the mansion tax applies from $1 million, at rates rising with price. Use the calculators below.

Abatements. No tax abatement has been disclosed. The plan's budget will show projected common charges and taxes.
