Overview

This carefully planned structure, which is surrounded by traditional Brooklyn brownstones on a street lined with trees, is split into three portions, each of which has the same width as a townhouse in the neighbourhood. Residents can access the building's own ground-level parking garage and enter a common public lobby through the dynamic gateway created by the elevated centre section.

For individuals who are prepared to take the next step and become homeowners, the Benny is a discreet luxury. There are 44 units in the condominium—35 one-bedroom flats and 9 two-bedroom apartments. The architects prioritised an abundance of natural light that comes in via big perimeter windows, resulting in floorplans that are simple and functional by design. The open kitchen layout in the living areas unites the dining room and living room into a large living space.
Modern, natural finishes abound in each apartment: polished white quartz kitchen worktops and matte white cabinetry give an open, light atmosphere, while white oak hardwood flooring run throughout. White subway tiles and Moen fixtures give the bathrooms a spotless appearance. Modern appliances that are easy to use are Whirlpool dishwashers, Beko refrigerators, and Whirlpool washers and dryers that are installed in apartments.
Private outdoor patios are available to three units on the sixth level and four units on the elevated first floor. The majority of the apartments on the higher levels have views of Prospect Park and the Manhattan skyline. These components work together to create apartments that are tidy, serene, well-lit, and have smooth surfaces.

The Benny's communal areas are interconnected by natural components, the most notable of which being cedar wood salvaged from the iconic skyline of New York City's defunct water towers. This wood reaches all the way to the edge of the backyard zen garden and frames the front trellis and open ceiling above the entryway. It also continues into the lobby and resident's lounge with its slatted ceiling and walls.
The Benny's amenities promote mental and physical well-being. Upon entering, one finds a ground floor fitness centre with high-tech cardio equipment set on Porcelanosa flooring and a mirrored wall. It's also simple to work out on the go, before or after work, with bike storage and private lockers. If you drive, you can enter by the front entrance and purchase private parking.

The lobby entry effortlessly ushers us into the light-filled, spacious area of a furnished modern lounge. It is designed with a porcelain floor and muted gold and slate-grey tones set behind wood slatted walls and ceiling. From here, floor to ceiling windows provide a peaceful view of the zen garden, an area ideal for contemplation and rest.
This urban lifestyle is further enhanced by the roof deck of the building. With its porcelain paver lining, this area offers people a fresh viewpoint. It’s the perfect setting to soak in sunset views with a glass in hand, the Manhattan skyline in the distance.

The best-kept secret in Brooklyn is Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This neighbourhood, which borders Prospect Park on the east side and is bounded by the bustling Flatbush and Bedford Avenues, offers the best of both worlds: diners, coffee shops, bookstores, and the vintage charm of quiet streets lined with trees, all of which are enhanced by the dramatic backdrop of bright lights and the big city.
