Fetner Properties, in partnership with a joint venture partners MCB Real Estate and Farallon Capital Management, announced that 240 Willoughby, its landmark two-tower residential development in the heart of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has reached 100% occupancy of its market-rate units.
The swift lease-up of the homes is a testament to the building’s rare combination of intentional design, breathtaking views and a community philosophy that puts residents first.
The glass façade, accented by a gold-hued grid framework along its balconies, was conceived from the ground up around the extraordinary site it occupies. 240 Willoughby was designed to capture two of Brooklyn’s most coveted perspectives: the glittering Manhattan skyline to the north and the sweeping, tree-lined canopy of Fort Greene Park directly at residents’ doorstep. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive private terraces throughout the building ensure these views are not an afterthought—they are the experience. Residents in the penthouse homes spanning the top four floors enjoy a 360-degree vantage point that rivals anything in the borough.
“We’re thrilled to see 240 Willoughby reach full occupancy. There is no other building in New York where you can take five steps outside your front door and be in a magnificent 30-acre park without even crossing the street and we know residents have been greatly enjoying this invaluable year-round amenity,” said Hal Fetner, president and CEO of Fetner Properties. “At Fetner, every decision starts with one question: what do our residents actually need? 240 Willoughby is the fullest expression of that philosophy we’ve ever built.”
The Fetner philosophy has always centered on creating genuine community—and at 240 Willoughby, that commitment is built into over 30,000 square feet of resident amenities designed for every stage of life. Families with children will find dedicated kids’ playrooms adorned with vibrant, hand-painted murals, plus a sprawling game room with shuffleboard, billiards and ping pong. An arcade and video game room deliver nostalgia and competition in equal measure and a karaoke and screening room, pet spa with dog run, yoga studio and full fitness center, complete a suite of spaces that give residents every reason to stay and connect with their neighbors.
240 Willoughby was designed with the modern reality of remote and hybrid work squarely in mind. A sophisticated business lounge offers the focus and professional atmosphere of a private office without the commute. In-unit, the combination of premium finishes, custom integrated Bluetooth speaker systems and generous square footage with abundant natural light makes working from home not just functional but genuinely enjoyable. Whether residents are logging on from their living room or heading to the co-working lounge, 240 Willoughby keeps them productive and connected.
Beyond the building itself, 240 Willoughby places residents at the cultural and culinary center of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Barclays Center and Dekalb Market Hall are steps away, as are world-class museums including the Brooklyn Museum, the New York Transit Museum and MoCADA. Everyday essentials are close at hand, with Wegmans, Trader Joe’s, Target, Apple, lululemon, Sephora and the beloved Greenlight Bookstore all in the neighborhood. Multiple subway lines—including the B, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, 5, G, A, C, and F trains—provide seamless access across Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
