Located in South Williamsburg, just off of the Williamsburg Bridge when one crosses from Manhattan, The Dime is a new, 23-story terracotta and glass building architecturally linked to the landmarked 1908 Dime Savings Bank. With its cohesive design language across its architecture and interiors of its multi-use areas—encompassing offices, retail and rental apartments—the building is an exciting debut, elevating the standards for buildings of similar use in the city. The 345,000 square foot mixed-use building encompasses 177 residential units, 105,000 square feet of office space, as well as 50,000 square feet of retail space.

The residential lobby honors the exterior through its extension of the terracotta curvature seen in its scalloped walls which feature carved-out bookshelves. Minimalist, elegant furnishings, soft lighting, and a work by artist Swoon—who also completed a mural on the building’s façade—combine to create a welcoming, fresh, and warm environment.

The building’s fifth floor houses an array of amenities, including an expansive terrace, a community garden, yoga studio, fitness center, two lounge areas, and a half basketball court featuring a graphic guilloche-patterned wall covering that borrows from currency—another bank reference. The south lounge is a co-working space and looks out onto lush gardens framing a great lawn, while the north lounge employs a bar concept.

Another amenity space is on the 22nd floor, the penthouse level, where a vintage-style speakeasy lounge looks out over the city. The interiors take inspiration from the iconic Havemeyer family, who collected art and enriched the architectural and cultural life of Brooklyn and beyond. The palette of the lounge—in rich and dark tones—pulls from the family’s artwork collection now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Custom millwork lines the walls, while warm library lighting and artworks accentuate the space, which directly connects to an outdoor terrace.

Apartments are comprised of studio through three-bedroom units, crowned by two striking penthouses. Penthouses and select residences feature expansive private terraces. Curved, picture-height windows afford incredible views of the surrounding city and fill the apartments with light.
