The Brooklyn Original: Industrial Edge Meets Modern Comfort at Newswalk
Welcome to 535 Dean Street, Unit 617-a sprawling loft in Prospect Heights' iconic Newswalk Condominium, where history, size, and style collide. Formerly the printing facility for the Daily News, this converted warehouse is one of Brooklyn's most sought-after addresses for good reason: it offers the scale and soul of classic industrial architecture paired with the comforts of modern living. With nearly 1,200 square feet, 13-foot ceilings, and a skyline view, this home is a canvas for life exactly how you want to live it.
Step inside and take in the volume of space-concrete ceilings, exposed piping, and track lighting give the apartment an edgy, industrial feel, while wide-plank hardwood floors add warmth and balance. A wall of oversized windows frames stunning views of the Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline, filling the open-concept layout with sunlight throughout the day. The current configuration includes a custom-built partition system that defines the bedroom area and maximizes storage-including a full-height closet built for a fashionista. The home could easily be reconfigured to add a second bedroom or home office, with plenty of room to spare.
The kitchen pairs clean, classic finishes with functionality: white shaker cabinets, black granite countertops, black hardware, and a full island for prepping, dining, or entertaining. There's even room to add a formal dining area just opposite. The bathroom is crisp and calming, with Kohler fixtures, white subway tiles, and decorative lighting that create a spa-like feel. Central heat and A/C offer year-round climate control, and the apartment is move-in ready.
Newswalk isn't just a building-it's a community. This full-service gated condominium includes a 24/7 door staff, porter, concierge, fitness center, valet parking, and a package room. The 20,000-square-foot landscaped roof deck offers a full suite of amenities: lounge seating, grills, picnic tables, a children's play area, community herb garden, and covered kitchenette. There's also a beautifully maintained front courtyard to relax in just outside your door.
Set in Prospect Heights, Newswalk sits at the epicenter of Brooklyn's best. You're minutes from Barclays Center, BAM, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza, and the Botanical Gardens. The Atlantic Terminal hub puts the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, Q, N, R trains-and the LIRR-just a few blocks away. Surrounded by the vibrancy of Fort Greene, Park Slope, Crown Heights, and Boerum Hill, you'll never run out of dining, shopping, or cultural destinations to explore.
In a market where square footage comes at a premium, Unit 617 delivers space, style, and location in a way that's hard to match. Whether you're looking for a live/work loft, a blank canvas to grow into, or a turnkey home with skyline views-this is Brooklyn living with serious edge.
Find your sweet spot.
