Built in 1885 as the Mason Mints and Mason Dots factory by architect Theobald Engelhardt, who designed much of Williamsburg, Bushwick and Greenpoint, including the Ulmer Brewery, Arion Singing Hall, Ulmer Mansion, Bossert Mansion, and Pirika Chocolate factory in Crown Heights North. He built a sturdy brick factory with distinctive mill-like features and large windows to facilitate better light and working conditions. The building was converted to artists' housing in the 1970's. The project was bought in 2010 by the team of Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund, an affiliate of Magic Johnson Enterprises. In 2012, the new group brought in an architectural firm familiar with preservation and historic conversions, Joseph Pelli Lombardi, and converted 20 Henry Street into 24 luxurious loft condominiums plus 14 additional apartments in a new building separated by a lovely common courtyard with a distinctive sculpture and lush plantings.
Building amenities include: Doorman, resident manager, gym, bicycle storage, cold storage, and private storage. Close to transportation (1 stop to Wall Street), gourmet dining and shopping. Uniquely located near schools and transportation routes where Brooklyn Heights meets Dumbo, and around the corner from the Old Fulton Street entrance to the new Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade and any kind of recreational activities, art galleries and performing arts.
