1 Plz St W

1 Plaza Street West is a 16-story, 1928 prewar cooperative by Rosario Candela that occupies a prominent corner at Grand Army Plaza in Park Slope. The neo-Georgian/Art Deco tower contains under 30 residences with classic Candela proportions: high beamed ceilings, inlaid parquet and oak floors, picture moldings and generous windowed rooms. The building’s public spaces reflect its era—an ornate marble lobby, a staffed door attendant (full-time hours vary by listing), and a live-in superintendent. Typical apartment interiors emphasize built-ins and prewar details: entrance foyers, formal dining rooms or eat-in kitchens, pantries, multiple closets including walk-ins and cedar storage, and windowed bathrooms with original subway tile or renovated finishes. Shared building services include elevator access, laundry and bike/storage rooms in the basement, and limited private outdoor spaces attached to some units. The co-op is pet-friendly with board approval and maintains on-site maintenance for day-to-day needs. Its corner orientation yields many residences with multi-exposure light and long views over Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza and, from higher floors, Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. The location places residents steps from the 2/3 and B/Q subway lines, the Saturday Greenmarket, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Barclays Center and a dense retail/restaurants corridor on Vanderbilt and 7th Avenue, supporting a culturally active, walkable Brooklyn lifestyle.
