About BellTel Lofts
The BellTel Lofts is the former New York Telephone Company Building, at 365 Bridge Street and 101 Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Built between 1929 and 1931, it served as headquarters of the New York Telephone Company and formally opened on October 28, 1931. Its architect was Ralph Thomas Walker, working for the firm Voorhees, Gmelin and Walker, who designed several Art Deco telecommunications buildings.
At 348 ft (106 m), the tower has 27 stories above ground and three basements. German Expressionism influenced the design, which also carries Art Deco detailing, and much of the decoration comes from the arrangement of the bricks. Its massing is largely symmetrical, with numerous setbacks and decorative parapets, and the facade tapers to a tower over the top nine stories.
Designation as a city landmark came in 2004 from the Landmarks Preservation Commission of New York City. It was sold in February 2005 and converted into a residential condominium complex, and Beyer Blinder Belle designed its 250 residential units. Condominium sales began in October 2006, though many apartments remained unsold for several years.
