The Griffin at 101 Lafayette Avenue Building Details
The Griffin is a landmark Art Deco cooperative located in the heart of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Originally built in 1931 as a hotel and later converted into luxury residences, this iconic 17-story building exudes timeless elegance and historic charm. Designed by architect Frederick H. Klie, The Griffin features a striking red-brick facade with ornate terra-cotta detailing, a grand arched entryway, and a beautifully preserved lobby that captures the sophistication of early 20th-century New York architecture.
Home to over 200 residences, The Griffin offers a mix of spacious studios, one- and two-bedroom homes, and unique penthouses, many of which feature prewar elements such as beamed ceilings, steel-framed casement windows, hardwood floors, and expansive layouts. Select units offer sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, Fort Greene Park, or tree-lined streets, and some upper-floor apartments come with private terraces or solariums.
This full-service building provides 24-hour doorman service, attended elevators, a live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and private storage units. Known for its flexibility, The Griffin allows pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, and high financing-up to 90%-a rare find among prewar cooperatives. Subletting is permitted with minimal restrictions, making it an ideal choice for both primary residents and investors seeking long-term value.
Perfectly situated just steps from Fort Greene Park and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Griffin enjoys close proximity to world-class restaurants, boutiques, farmer's markets, and cultural venues. With multiple subway lines nearby and Atlantic Terminal only minutes away, residents have effortless access to both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Combining historic architecture with modern convenience and unmatched co-op flexibility, The Griffin remains one of Fort Greene's most desirable addresses.
