138 Broadway

The Smith Grey is a landmarked, cast-iron loft conversion in South Williamsburg originally built in 1884 and converted to condominiums in 2002. The seven-story elevator building contains mostly spacious two-bedroom and one-bedroom loft units characterized by very high ceilings (often 11–15 feet), oversized arched windows, exposed brick and cast-iron columns. Interiors typically emphasize loft-style layouts with open kitchens, reclaimed or wide-plank hardwood floors, dramatic wood-beamed or tongue-and-groove ceilings, sizable built-in storage and original industrial details adapted for residential use. Many units feature private outdoor space—balconies or planted terraces—and some include in-unit washer/dryer hookups or mechanical closets housing individual boilers and HVAC. Shared building amenities include laundry on every floor, a managed common courtyard, a landscaped roof deck with skyline views, bicycle storage in the basement and additional storage rooms. Operational features comprise a full-time superintendent and porter, video intercom/security, and basement bike storage. The building is pet-friendly and benefits from a J-51 tax abatement on select units. Located at the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Broadway, residents are a short walk to the J, M, Z and L train options, the East River ferry, Domino Park, and a dense neighborhood of restaurants, cafés, specialty shops and grocery options, offering an urban, community-oriented loft lifestyle with easy access to Manhattan.
