The Standish at 169 Columbia Heights Building Details
Nestled along one of the most picturesque blocks in Brooklyn Heights, 169 Columbia Heights is a stately 12-story condominium that blends classic prewar architecture with modern luxury. Originally built in 1903 as the Standish Arms Hotel, the building was thoughtfully converted into upscale residences by Azur LLC, preserving its timeless facade while completely reimagining the interiors for contemporary living.
The building showcases elegant Beaux-Arts design with limestone accents and oversized windows, many of which offer panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade just steps away. Inside, the residences feature soaring ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, custom millwork, and high-end finishes throughout. Many homes include private elevator access, in-unit washer/dryers, and spacious layouts that marry historic charm with refined modernity.
Amenities at 169 Columbia Heights include a full-time doorman and concierge, a beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace with sweeping city and water views, secure bicycle storage, private storage units, and a state-of-the-art package room. The building is pet-friendly and allows pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and subletting with board approval, offering flexibility for a range of lifestyles.
With its location in the heart of Brooklyn Heights-one of the city's most historic and desirable neighborhoods-residents enjoy close proximity to waterfront parks, boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, top-tier schools, and easy access to multiple subway lines for a quick commute to Manhattan.
Timeless, elegant, and intimately scaled, 169 Columbia Heights is a rare find in a neighborhood where history, luxury, and community converge.
