Sackett Union

A continuation of the historic fabric of Carroll Gardens that offers modern living options.

Sackett Union is a 140,000 sq ft mixed-use development in Brooklyn, which includes 32 duplex and split-level condominiums, 11 townhouses in three configurations, and commercial and community facilities. Inspired by 19th century New York City blocks, which integrated residential, retail, and commercial properties, the seven-story development features a range of family-friendly units with split-level condominiums and townhouses offering single and multi-family options.
