Windsor Terrace is a modest little neighborhood in southwest Brooklyn, perfectly situated a stone\u2019s throw from Prospect Park, and an ideal location for a condominium development designed to entice families and individuals looking for unassuming luxury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enter the Windsor at 23 Ocean Parkway, a red-brick building that is set back from the curb along a tranquil, tree-lined street, something Angely Rangel, sales director at Aguayo & Associates<\/a>, the firm leading sales at the building, said is a huge draw for buyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the interest that we\u2019re getting for the project, and the buyers that we\u2019re getting, are actually local to the neighborhood,\u201d Rangel said. \u201cThey want to stay in the area because they say that it\u2019s a very peaceful area. But it\u2019s almost like their little secret because where they actually live is very quiet, but it is just a couple of blocks to one stop away from all these amazing restaurants, cocktail bars and shopping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Who's<\/p>\n

The building, developed by Local Development Group<\/a>, offers buyers 98 condominiums from studios to three-bedrooms ranging in price from $525,000 to $1.67 million, as well as 33 rental units designated as affordable housing under the state\u2019s old 421-a tax abatement program. \u00a0<\/p>\n

When developing the Windsor, which launched sales in June, Local Development Group wanted to ensure the new building didn\u2019t stand out within the classic neighborhood, but rather fit in with the area\u2019s aesthetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to keep the character of the neighborhood the way it is today,\u201d Abraham Leifer, CEO of Local Development Group, said. \u201cIf you go down to that particular neighborhood, you\u2019re not going to see a lot of new developments there, or fancy, glitzy buildings. We tried to conform with the neighborhood\u2019s look.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leifer said the last thing the firm wanted to do was put up a huge, obnoxious-looking building that didn\u2019t fit in with the classic character of the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t feel like we are invaders to this neighborhood,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to help out the neighborhood, rather than to gentrify the neighborhood by bringing in this fancy, gaudy building.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But just because the outside of the building is simple and elegant doesn\u2019t mean the inside can\u2019t offer residents a slice of luxury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Windsor offers 18,000 square feet of interconnected, WiFi-enabled indoor and outdoor amenity spaces that include a pet spa, a movie room, a work-from-home suite, a gym and a children\u2019s playroom, as well as a game lounge featuring billiards, ping-pong and shuffleboard (call it an adults\u2019 playroom).<\/p>\n

The residences feature 9-foot ceilings and oversize casement windows for an abundance of natural light, as well as wide-plank white oak flooring and buffed-stone countertops. About half the condos include private outdoor space, and all the bathrooms in the condos have heated floors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur interiors are timeless,\u201d Leifer said. \u201cWe\u2019re using natural stone, we\u2019re using a lot of natural wood, and warm colors to give it that timeless and warm feeling, versus an intrusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team behind the Windsor expects to receive the temporary certificate of occupancy sometime in the next four to five weeks \u2014 as of publication \u2014 and move-ins are expected to begin in October.<\/p>\n
