One Park Point is located in Brooklyn’s suburban oasis.
Brooklyn’s allure for the young, professional sector can be seen in its cozy boutiques, beautiful brownstones, vibrant atmosphere and lower cost of living than Manhattan. As a result, parts of Brooklyn have evolved into a hub of entrepreneurship, high-technology startup firms, postmodern art and design dating back to the 2010s.
Brooklyn’s best-kept secret isn’t an underground club, barista-friendly coffee shop or velvet-cloaked speakeasy. Instead, it is a quaint park-side neighborhood lined with brownstones, bursting with restaurants and bolstered by proximity. It’s a spacetime continuum where neighbors greet each other by name, residents rarely move and time seems to actually slow down. It’s likely this latter detail that has enabled Windsor Terrace to remain out of the limelight for so long.
Windsor Terrace lies along the northern edge of Prospect Park and is preparing for its boldest moment yet. It is on the precipice of welcoming its first-ever newly built luxury rental building, which has ignited a frenzied wave of inquiry due to the area’s stubbornly low inventory. Resales are not common. Windsor Terrace feels more aligned with its turn-of-the-19th-century roots than Manhattan’s concrete jungle in many ways. Prospect Park lines its borders and streets are quiet and tree-lined.
Inspired by the nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
One Park Point, a new luxury living, lease-only rental building in Brooklyn’s suburban oasis, houses 375 residences, from one to two-bedroom homes in a variety of floor plans and layouts. Inspired by the nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden, an elegant color palette features soft, calm, natural cool and earthy warm hues which complement the building's indoor-outdoor aesthetic. The influence of Prospect Park also channels itself throughout the building with numerous shapes mimicking organic forms.
Gobal architecture studio Woods Bagot developed a curated selection of amenities spanning nearly 20,000 square feet, including two expansive rooftop terraces, which comprise 15,000 square feet total. Situated on the 12th floor the larger of the two sky-high rooftop areas features barbecues, a pizza oven, fire pits and turf for outdoor fitness classes, all of which is framed by unobstructed 360-degree views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines, Verrazano Bridge, Coney Island Ocean and Prospect Park.
Focus Property Group, a subsidiary of progressive real estate development, investment and management firm JEMB Realty, has set June for the official launch. Pricing begins at $3,850 per month for one-bedroom apartments.
Guests enjoy unobstructed 360-degree views.
Two retail spaces anchor the base of the building and will serve as a neighborhood gathering point for all Windsor Terrace residents, topped by a dozen floors with 36-40 homes per floor. Crowning the top of the building is a 10,000-square-foot communal rooftop space featuring barbecues, a pizza oven, fire pits, and turf for outdoor fitness classes, offering unobstructed 360-degree views.
Each luxurious room features exquisite interior design.
Focus Property Group tapped architecture firm FXCollaborative Architects to lead the architectural design and multidisciplinary architecture, while INC Architecture & Design got the nod for the interior design. A curving exterior that frames Machate Circle’s grand park entrance helps emphasize its prime location facing Prospect Park. Other exquisite design elements include a finely detailed brick masonry facade with oversized windows, and a wealth of greenery has been systematically placed at the property’s entrance court, expansive courtyard and rooftop.

What was the driving force behind this project?
Windsor Terrace is a hidden gem neighborhood in Brooklyn. It’s a place with tree-lined streets and neighbors who greet each other by name. Situated across the street from Brooklyn’s largest playground, Prospect Park, One Park Point provides a quality and lifestyle-driven living opportunity for the many New Yorkers eager to call the best of Brooklyn home. Many of us working on One Park Point, myself included, grew up not far from the area and often find ourselves here on weekends with the kids to ride bikes, play tennis, and enjoy all the area has to offer. With all of this in place, the only thing that was missing was a luxury building to offer housing for more people to experience and enjoy Windsor Terrace.
Describe the ambiance of the building and the units.
Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s biggest and best playground and it's located just steps from One Park Point. This type of proximity is incredibly rare in New York and because of that we wanted this special relationship to serve as the source of the building’s lifestyle and design inspirations. FXCollaborative and INC Architecture & Design worked together collaboratively to blur the line between the outdoors and indoors, and to pull the park into the building through thoughtful landscaping and nature-inspired materials.
How will One Park Point enhance the Windsor Terrace area?
Windsor Terrace is a very special part of Brooklyn. It’s organically evolved into a suburban-like enclave that is just a 40-minute train ride from Midtown Manhattan. One Park Point is introducing a quality and caliber of building that this neighborhood and Prospect Park – the Central Park of Brooklyn – warrant. Through the property’s nearly 400 total apartments we aim to create greater opportunity for more New Yorkers to put down roots and experience the best the borough has to offer. In drawing more people to the area Windsor Terrace’s local restaurants, shops and other businesses will hopefully experience even more foot traffic and visitors.
An opportunity for more New Yorkers to put down roots.
