Situated at the corner of Adams and Willoughby Streets, directly across from Borough Hall, Cadman Plaza, and the historic Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, 345 Adams offers a premier location for upscale retail and dining in Downtown Brooklyn. The building shares the block with Muss Development’s 667-room New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Originally constructed as the headquarters of the Brooklyn Edison Company and later owned by the City of New York, 345 Adams underwent a transformative renovation in 2008 when Muss Development purchased the building’s first two floors and embarked on a visionary restoration of the Renaissance Revival-style property, showcasing its historic elegance and architectural charm.
Key enhancements included the addition of arched windows along the Willoughby Street side, replacing what had once been a blank exterior wall. Inside, a 23-foot-high corner space was returned to its original grandeur, with its drop ceiling removed to reveal the original moldings, column details, and light fixtures. A new façade along Adams Street further elevates the property’s modern appeal while honoring its historic character.
Located at the crossroads of some of Brooklyn’s most affluent and sought-after neighborhoods—including Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, and DUMBO—345 Adams is located at the confluence of one of the best retailing corridors in Brooklyn.
