388 Bridge Street, Residential skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn, New York, United States
388 Bridge Street is a 590-foot (180 m) residential skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. It holds 378 market-rate units: 234 rentals and 144 condominiums. The tower was topped out in 2013, when it became Brooklyn's tallest building, surpassing the Brooklyner.
Construction began in 2007 but halted between 2008 and 2012 due to the economic recession. The project resumed in 2013 and officially opened in 2014.
388 Bridge Street's mix of 234 rentals and 144 condominiums shows how Downtown Brooklyn housing shifted after the 2000s property crash: the tower was first planned as all-condominium, then built with a rental share. Its 2013 topping out, briefly making it Brooklyn's tallest, marked the borough's turn toward high-rise residential construction.
The tower holds 378 market-rate units, split into 234 rentals and 144 condominiums, so the lobby and entrances serve residents rather than the public. Construction was halted from 2008 to 2012 during the recession and resumed in 2013. The site sits in Downtown Brooklyn, a short walk from Bridge Street's subway stations.
When it topped out in 2013, 388 Bridge Street overtook the Brooklyner as the tallest building in Brooklyn. It held that title until AVA DoBro surpassed it, and it now ranks as the eighth-tallest in the borough. The tower mixes 234 rentals with 144 condominiums, 378 market-rate units in all.
