Brooklyn, NY Avdoo has begun closings at Bergen in Boerum Hill. Designed by Taller Frida Escobedo, with master planning by DXA Studio, interior design by Workstead, and landscape design by DXA Studio and Patrick Cullina, Bergen features amenities and residences that elevate urban living and blend indoor and outdoor spaces.

“Bergen offers a home unlike anything else available in the market, from its talented team of designers to its generous outdoor space and amenity package thoughtfully programmed by the Bergen Collective,” said Shlomi Avdoo, founder and CEO of Avdoo. “This is a significant milestone, and we look forward to welcoming our first residents to experience the Bergen lifestyle and community firsthand.”

The commencement of closings at the building coincides with sales momentum for the project, which surpassed 70% sold. This includes a $3.15 million townhouse with its own 556 s/f private garden and a $5.3 million penthouse with a 1,339 s/f terrace that spans nearly the entire length of the residence, both of which are available for immediate occupancy. Bergen has sold the highest percentage of units than any other new development project in the city, a testament to its quality craftsmanship, neighborhood feel, and amenities that prioritize creativity and wellness and establish a sense of belonging.

“Strong buyer demand has made Bergen one of New York City’s most consistently high-performing buildings,” said Brendan Aguayo, principal at Avdoo. “No other new development project in Brooklyn is closer to sell-out. With residents now calling Bergen home, this new community in Boerum Hill is only becoming more vibrant and desirable.”

Bergen features 105 condominium residences, with 53 unit types that range from studios to five bedrooms to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. Bergen blends privacy and transparency in a way that is refreshing to urban built environments. Workstead designed the residential interiors to offer an immediate sense of calm, celebrating natural light, organic materials, and simple geometric forms that complement Frida Escobedo’s angled facade and custom handmade blocks. The highly considered residential layouts feature ceiling heights up to 12 ft. high, double-glazed casement windows, white oak flooring, custom-design elements, and natural materials that age well over time.
