1 Clinton Street

1 Clinton Street is a modern residential tower with 38 floors and a distinctive triangular form at the corner of Clinton Street and Cadman Plaza West in Brooklyn Heights. Inside, the building combines private apartments with ground-level retail and a substantial library branch that serves the public.

The building was completed in 2020 on the site of a former library branch that had served the community since 1962. The development replaced that earlier facility with a new structure combining residential and public services.

The building serves as a gathering place where residents and visitors connect through shared community spaces and public areas. The library branch below street level brings people together and has become a focal point for locals.

The building sits near several subway stations and includes underground parking for vehicles and street-level entry points to shops and the library. Public transportation connections make it easy to reach, while the library spaces are directly accessible from the sidewalk.

A communal lounge on the 26th floor offers open views of New York Harbor, the Manhattan skyline, and surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. Residents use this space to take in the panorama from high above the city.
