Originally built in 1892, The Franklin Trust Tower at 166 Montague Street is a gorgeous landmark in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. This Romanesque Revival masterpiece of a building boasts a red limestone base, intricate terra cotta, stone engravings, a tiled Mansard roof and beautiful cornices. Despite the large appearance of the building, it has been wonderfully renovated into only 24 luxury loft apartments. Ceiling heights range from 10 to 17 feet. This prime Brooklyn Heights location couldn't be better, just a few short blocks from the famous Promenade and Cadman Plaza parks. Transportation couldn't be easier with the R, 2/3, and 4/5 within a 2 block radius, and both the F and A/C only a few more blocks away. This intimate building has a part-time doorman as well as a cyber doorman the remainder of the time. The building has a great fitness room and a phenomenal roof deck with views to Manhattan. Storage available. Photos are of Model Unit (same floorplan and finishes except for paint color). The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from sponsor. File No. CD070704.
