144 Vanderbilt Avenue delivers a refined vision for contemporary urban living shaped by thoughtful massing, material clarity and enduring craft. Designed by SO–IL, the 26 two- to four-bedroom residences reflect Brooklyn’s layered character while establishing a distinctive architectural presence at the intersection of Vanderbilt and Myrtle Avenues.

Wells collaborated closely with the design team to translate the sculptural vision into a buildable, high-performing facade system suited for a dense urban environment. Using prefabricated concrete panels, Wells helped realize the bespoke scalloped facade in warm, pink-toned concrete, incorporating acid-washed and sandblasted finishes that introduce subtle variation across the surface. As light shifts throughout the day, the exterior is animated by shadow and depth, balancing visual softness with the permanence of concrete.
