55 Fleet Street, NY 112013.6 ★ (129 reviews)
Mixed rental and condominium
Website

Summary

Brooklyn Tower combines 398 rental apartments and 143 condominiums, with dramatic skyline views and Gachot interiors. The day-to-day staff and apartment design earn praise, but residents have also reported prolonged amenity delays, construction noise and slow management response when serious problems arise.

Reviews

Brooklyn Tower is visually distinctive and the on-site staff often make a strong first impression. The resident record is more mixed: the apartments can feel polished and quiet, but repeated amenity delays, construction and slow ownership response have kept the lived experience behind the building’s promise.

What residents praise

On-site staff are warm and attentive

Residents praise the concierge and resident-management teams for thoughtful move-in help, clear communication and friendly daily service.

The apartments feel polished and distinctive

Residents who like the building point to its cleanliness, quiet interiors, skyline presence and carefully designed finishes.

What residents complain about

Amenity delays have defined the early resident experience

Residents through mid-2026 describe promised pools, fitness and shared spaces opening much later than expected, sometimes after repeated revised timelines.

Construction and exterior noise can be intrusive

Several residents describe months of weekday construction and windows that transmit street noise, with the effect more noticeable on lower floors.

Serious problems can expose slow management response

Residents report poor urgency around security, elevator and building-system concerns, along with strict procedures and difficult follow-up when they need action from management.

Amenities

Brooklyn Tower rentals have in-unit laundry, central air and an attended lobby. Resident spaces include a coworking library, screening room and billiards room; the Life Time gym and pools are scheduled to open in late 2026.
