Brooklyn Heights Hotel-Turned-Rental to Become a Condo
High-end Manhattan condo developer DDG is making its first foray across the East River to Brooklyn to undertake its first conversion project. Working with Westbrook Partners, DDG plans to convert the former Standish Arms Hotel in Brooklyn Heights into a luxury condominium.
Westbrook and DDG purchased the elegant 12-story, 120-unit building from Taurus Investment Holdings last summer for $60 million, Crain’s reports. Taurus had converted the Standish, located at 169 Columbia Heights, from a hotel to luxury rental apartments in 2008.
The condo conversion will be DDG’s eighth development in the city. The company is known for luxury residential buildings that feature handmade bricks from Denmark as a design signature.
