175 Willoughby St

A mid-century cooperative complex in Downtown Brooklyn, University Towers comprises three 15–16–story masonry buildings set on roughly five acres of gated, landscaped grounds. Completed in 1963 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1990, the property contains about 63 units per building (total complex larger) with a mix of one- and three-bedroom layouts and several larger multi-bedroom lines. Apartment interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, well-proportioned living/dining rooms, eat-in or galley kitchens with granite counters and island options, generous closets and foyer entrances; some residences include en-suite baths and walk-in closets. The campus emphasizes shared spaces: a staffed lobby with 24-hour door attendants and live-in superintendents, a membership fitness facility, laundry rooms, community/event rooms, a children’s playground, and indoor bike and storage rooms. Outdoors, manicured lawns, gardens, a gazebo, picnic and barbecue terraces, a roof deck and recreational courts create a village-like setting within the city. On-site parking is available (purchase or rental options), building services include package rooms and on-site management, and the coop has a history of substantial capital improvements and strong financial reserves. Located one block from multiple express subway lines, the property offers immediate access to Fort Greene Park, BAM, CityPoint retail and the Atlantic Center transit hub, positioning it firmly within a dense cultural and retail neighborhood.
