The building used to be a sponge factory but was converted into a commercial condo building with 13.5 foot ceilings and huge oversized windows. The loft space is a huge 1151 square feet that you could customize to your wants and needs. Lot of natural light which is great for an artist studio or office space.

The building comes with a gorgeous roof deck with 360 degree views of New York City and a common court yard. It also has a virtual doorman with key fob system, full time super, maintenance, elevator and high tech security. Inexpensive common charges with tax abatement up to June of 2031. Potential rent is up to 3,000 a month.

It is a great investment with prices increasing around the area and you will not find such a space anymore in the city!","url":"https://miltoncoste.com/for-sale/studio-condo-greenpoint-231-norman-avenue-apt-508-rls10076540","image":["/images/royalty-free/manhattan.jpg"],"datePosted":"2016-11-14T09:31:22.000-00:00","dateModified":"2025-10-23T19:33:45.617-00:00","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"231 Norman, Unit 508","addressLocality":"Greenpoint","addressRegion":"NY","postalCode":"11222","addressCountry":"US"},"numberOfRooms":0,"numberOfBathroomsTotal":1,"floorSize":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","value":1151,"unitCode":"FTK"},"yearBuilt":1913,"broker":{"@type":"RealEstateAgent","@id":"https://miltoncoste.com/#agent","name":"Milton Coste","image":"https://miltoncoste.com/images/milton-headshot.jpg","telephone":"+19174167433","email":"[email protected]","url":"https://miltoncoste.com","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"360 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor","addressLocality":"New York","addressRegion":"NY","postalCode":"10017","addressCountry":"US"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":40.7550404,"longitude":-73.9781023},"hasCredential":{"@type":"EducationalOccupationalCredential","credentialCategory":"license","identifier":"10401274378","recognizedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"New York Department of State"}},"worksFor":{"@type":"RealEstateOrganization","name":"Keller Williams NYC","url":"https://kwnyc.com"}}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Apartment","@id":"https://miltoncoste.com/for-sale/studio-condo-greenpoint-231-norman-avenue-apt-508-rls10076540#property","name":"231 Norman Avenue #508","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"231 Norman","addressLocality":"Greenpoint","addressRegion":"NY","postalCode":"11222"},"numberOfRooms":0,"numberOfBathroomsTotal":1,"floorSize":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","value":1151,"unitCode":"FTK"},"yearBuilt":1913,"amenityFeature":[{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","name":"Building Courtyard"},{"@type":"LocationFeatureSpecification","name":"Building Roof Deck"}],"broker":{"@type":"RealEstateAgent","@id":"https://miltoncoste.com/#agent","name":"Milton Coste","image":"https://miltoncoste.com/images/milton-headshot.jpg","telephone":"+19174167433","email":"[email protected]","url":"https://miltoncoste.com","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"360 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor","addressLocality":"New York","addressRegion":"NY","postalCode":"10017","addressCountry":"US"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":40.7550404,"longitude":-73.9781023},"hasCredential":{"@type":"EducationalOccupationalCredential","credentialCategory":"license","identifier":"10401274378","recognizedBy":{"@type":"Organization","name":"New York Department of State"}}}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://miltoncoste.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"For Sale","item":"https://miltoncoste.com/sale"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Brooklyn","item":"https://miltoncoste.com/search/results?borough=Brooklyn"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Greenpoint","item":"https://miltoncoste.com/market-report/greenpoint"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"231 Norman Avenue #508"}]}]
