From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Situated in the vibrant waterfront neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn, 55 Ferris Street-historically known as the Red Hook Works-is a spectacular masterclass in turn-of-the-century industrial architecture. Originally built in 1899 for the Wittemann Brothers and crafted by the renowned Brooklyn architect William Bunker Tubby, this over 40,000-square-foot brick manufacturing complex is a rare, preserved gem. Soaring open-plan loft in a converted Red Hook warehouse offering authentic industrial character with a refined, move-in-ready finish. Features wide-plank hardwood floors, massive square timber columns with black steel capitals, and an exposed wood-beam plank ceiling creating two distinct bays. A full wall of large steel-frame factory windows floods the space with natural light. High ceilings (12-14' +), deep open rectangle with long sightlines and no interior partitions. Additional details include exposed sprinkler mains, black track lighting, and a large black freight door at the rear. A raw, clean shell ideal for gallery, creative office, showroom, photo studio, high-end retail, or premier event venue. Red Hook has successfully transformed from a historic shipping port into one of New York City's most desirable creative and culinary destinations. 55 Ferris Street is perfectly positioned to capture the neighborhood's energetic spirit, acting as a highly accessible and deeply memorable anchor for commerce, creativity, and public life.
