1 Clinton Street

One Clinton, located in Brooklyn Heights, is a striking 36-story residential building that replaced the former Brooklyn Heights Library. Developed by Hudson Companies and designed by Marvel Architects, the building features a minimalist limestone facade and includes a new public library, affordable housing units, a STEM lab, and retail space. The library, which opened in June 2022, offers a dedicated children's area and community rooms, while the residential units cater to various income levels. The site has a rich history, having transitioned from a library built in 1962 to a modern mixed-use development, sparking discussions about urban development, community needs, and the preservation of public spaces.
