101 Lafayette Ave

The Griffin is a landmarked 17-story Art Deco cooperative completed in 1931 and converted from a former luxury hotel. The masonry façade, restored lobby details and original steel casement windows reflect the building’s pre-war provenance. Units are primarily studio and one-bedroom layouts featuring high beamed ceilings, hardwood or white oak floors, generous casement windows, large walk-in closets, and classic bathroom tilework; some apartments include private outdoor space under 60 sq ft. Common areas include a marble-trimmed entrance foyer, a 24-hour doorman desk, a live-in superintendent, two recently renovated elevators, on-site laundry facilities, bike and private storage. The co-op permits pets, pied-à-terres, co-purchasing and gifting, and offers a liberal sublet policy after minimal ownership tenure. Parking is not part of the building; neighborhood transit access is exceptional with multiple nearby subway lines and LIRR connections. Located on Lafayette Avenue at South Oxford Street, the property sits one block from Fort Greene Park and within easy walking distance of Barclays Center, BAM, City Point and a concentrated mix of restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences.
