255 Columbia Street is a truly remarkable 13-unit condominium with an active board, low common charges and an uncommon spirit of camaraderie among neighbors. The building opened in 2014 and features a meticulously landscaped common backyard with a professional-grade cooking grill and furnished dining area. Constructed using the principles of Passive House design, 255 Columbia far exceeds the efficiency of the most common "green" certifications. With an ultra-insulated building envelope, heat recovery ventilation system, low-energy lighting throughout and solar panels on the roof, electrical consumption is approximately 1/3rd of the national household average.
The Columbia Street Waterfront District is one of Brooklyn's smallest, but most vibrant neighborhoods.

For the foodie, some of the best restaurants are right outside your door including Popina, Petite Crevette, Bar Bruno, Lucali's and Alma.
