Wharf has represented 184 industrial conversions across the Brooklyn waterfront since 2014. We read mill drawings, walk freight elevators and ask honest questions about flood maps.
A full floor-thru in the Wallabout building, original cast iron columns, 12 ft ceilings, two harbor-side terraces.
Cast iron columns, 11.5 ft ceilings, three exposures including the harbor. Building shares a roof deck with five other lofts.
Three things we always do that other brokerages do not.
We pull the original 1908–1947 mill drawings from the Brooklyn Historical Society and overlay them on the current floor plan. Most listings are off by 4–11%.
Before we list, we put a structural engineer on the column spacing, the load capacity and the freight elevator. Buyers see the report. No surprises in due diligence.
Inés shoots harbor-facing units at slack tide and at golden hour. We do not retouch the rust. The buildings are 100 years old. They look it.
Industrial buildings are 90% history and 10% real estate. Most brokerages get the ratio backwards.
Inés walked the loft with a tape measure and a copy of the 1908 mill drawings. She found 140 square feet our previous listing had missed.
We turned down 47 listings last year — apartments and townhouses that simply were not industrial. The buildings we work in get harder to find. We get harder about which we represent.
Commission and inclusions, plainly. We do not bundle and we do not negotiate down on the photography.
For loft and warehouse units under $2M, ready to list.
