Construction is complete on The Willoughby, a 34-story mixed-use tower at 196 Willoughby Street on Long Island University‘s Downtown Brooklyn campus. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by RXR Realty, the structure yields 476 residential units as well as academic and office spaces, an adjacent athletic field, and parking for 564 vehicles. Hunter Roberts Construction Group served as the general contractor for the project, which is bound by Willoughby Street to the north, Ashland Place to the east, DeKalb Avenue to the south, and Flatbush Avenue Extension to the west.

Recent photos show the completed look of the structure and its curtain wall of floor-to-ceiling glass and metal paneling. Leasing is currently underway for the units, which range from studios to two-bedroom layouts.

Residential amenities at The Willoughby include a fitness center, business and lounge areas, a dog spa and exterior dog run, garage, a media room, a concierge, and an outdoor terrace with cooking and seating areas that look out over the Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines. Homes are outfitted with washers and dryers, dishwashers, Caesarstone countertops, name-brand appliances and finishes, air conditioning, and walnut oak floors.
