The Yard is a 12-story condominium completed in 2011 offering 83 residences with one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. The exterior presents a contemporary midrise profile while reclaimed-wood accents and moss-covered detailing create a distinctive, warmth-forward lobby. Units feature loft-like oversized windows, high ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, Caesarstone or Carrera countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and in-unit washer/dryers; many homes include private balconies or small outdoor spaces. Common areas are varied and intentionally programmed: a furnished third-floor terrace with an adjacent residents’ lounge and activity spaces, an expansive landscaped roof deck with grilling stations, seating, and a large life-size chessboard, plus a fitness room, bike storage and package/mail facilities. The building provides front-desk/doorman coverage (part-time to full-time in different listings) and on-site parking options through an adjacent garage operator. Practical conveniences include relatively low common charges and a long-standing tax abatement through the mid/late 2020s. Located within a block or two of the Vernon-Jackson 7 train, Gantry Plaza State Park, Hunters Point South waterfront, ferry access and neighborhood retail (Urban Market, Food Cellar, cafes, restaurants), The Yard blends commuter ease with immediate waterfront recreation and a lively Vernon Boulevard corridor.
