710 Metropolitan

In the heart of residential Williamsburg sits a historic brick building on Metropolitan Avenue, a former 1943 umbrella factory still intact with all its notable charm. Formerly home to the Embee Sunshade Company, a well-known custom umbrella, and sunshade producer throughout New York City, The Umbrella Factory represents a vital part of Williamsburg’s rich manufacturing history.

Following a vision for utilitarian chic residences, the dynamic narrative of this remarkable building carries on. The original factory building reemerged into 69 stunning residential studios to three-bedroom loft condominiums.
