Since being rezoned in 2005, nearly 12,000 residential units have been developed in the Williamsburg.

“Williamsburg, one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic sub-markets, continues to see growth in the luxury residential and commercial markets. As more families move into the neighborhood, demand for early childhood education locations has burgeoned,” said Kelly, a Senior Director at Ariel Property Advisors.

“717 Driggs is also an attractive opportunity for investors to own a management-free asset,” Kelly said.

More than 2,700 new units have been added to the market within a 4-block radius, with another 3,000 in the pipeline. There is a lot of daily foot traffic along Nevins Street as residents of Boerum Hill pass through this location on the way to the 2,3,4 and 5 subway lines at Nevins and Flatbush.
