Construction is complete on The Varet, a seven-story mixed-use building at 50 Varet Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Meshberg Groupp Architects P.C. for 45 Graham Ave LLC, the structure yields 35 rental units in studio to two-bedroom layouts, with 11 units dedicated to affordable housing, as well as ground-floor retail space. The property is located at the corner of Varet Street and Avenue of Puerto Rico.
Recent photographs show the finished look of the building’s exterior, which is primarily clad in light earth-toned brick surrounding a grid of recessed windows with black mullions. The ground level features floor-to-ceiling glass and polished concrete perimeter columns for the retail frontage along Avenue of Puerto Rico, and the main entrance is located along Varet Street beneath a black canopy. A setback at the sixth floor will likely be topped with a private terrace, and there is additional terrace space above.
