Nestled in the thriving heart of Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood, this avant-garde mixed-use edifice redefines contemporary living. It proudly holds the distinction of being New York City's first residential Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) building.
Utilizing mass timber, the building effectively offsets embodied carbon through carbon sequestration provided by the wood material, making it a pivotal element in its sustainable construction.
283 Greene Avenue is a landmark mixed-use development in Clinton Hill and New York City’s first residential CLT building. Designed with Frame Home, it blends warm natural materials, modern design, and best-in-class sustainability.
This five-story, 16,000 sq ft building includes ten refined residential units and two street-level commercial spaces. The design celebrates the site’s industrial past with exposed brick and concrete, paired with CLT slabs, wood columns, and light-filled interiors. Each home includes generous outdoor space, direct keyed elevator access, and balconies that encourage connection while maintaining privacy.
Neighborhood Fit
Thoughtfully scaled at five stories, the building complements the character of the surrounding Clinton Hill streetscape.
Sustainability
Built to passive house principles, 283 Greene Ave features super-insulated walls, triple-pane windows, individual heat-recovery ventilation, and an all-electric system. A rooftop solar installation offsets energy use, delivering exceptionally low operational carbon and a healthier living environment.
