Construction has topped out on 111-115 North 6th Street, a two-story commercial outpost for French retail brand Hermès in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Building Studio Architects and developed by investment firm L3 Capital under the L3 Berry and N 6 LLC, the structure will yield 8,500 square feet. The property is located at the corner of North 6th Street and Berry Street.
Excavation was still underway at the time of our last update in early September. Since then, the steel superstructure was built to its pinnacle and crews have begun to frame the building out with metal studs and green insulation boards. Scaffolding and construction netting cover the southern elevation along with a sidewalk shed.

The below elevation rendering depicts the building clad primarily in red brick with a portion of the western end finished in gray cementitious material. The fenestration is made up of massive recessed windows, most of which have no mullions. The property will feature 147 feet of wraparound street frontage and yield 4,850 square feet on the first level with 16-foot-high ceilings, 3,600 square feet on the second level with 16-foot-high ceilings, and 3,120 square feet in the cellar.

L3 Capital currently has a 5,400-square-foot pop-up Hermès location designed by Kenneth Park Architects at 91 North 6th Street, a space that opened in early 2023 and plans to remain in operation until the completion of the new retail space.

The nearest subway from the property is the L train at the Bedford Avenue station. The North Williamsburg ferry terminal is also nearby at the northwestern end of North 6th Street along the East River.
111-115 North 6th Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for the winter of 2024 as noted on site, though previous online reports have placed the opening day sometime in 2026.

These bricks can give off a French look, at least there’s still a sign hanging there: Thanks.
This project makes no sense.
why only 2 stories?
The lack of housing on top is disappointing.
