Watch the video first — then discover why LOFT 7E is truly unlike anything else on the market.
Welcome to LOFT 7E at the historic Eagle Warehouse, a rare opportunity to own an authentic Brooklyn loft woven directly into the borough’s architectural and cultural history. Originally constructed in 1894, this iconic landmark building offers a level of character, craftsmanship, and scale that simply cannot be recreated today.
Steeped in Brooklyn’s legacy, the Eagle Warehouse stands on the former grounds of the legendary Brooklyn Daily Eagle, one of America’s most influential newspapers and once edited on this very site by celebrated poet Walt Whitman, whose work helped shape the voice and identity of a growing city. Designed by renowned Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman in the Richardsonian Romanesque style — often compared to a Florentine fortress overlooking the East River — the structure was originally engineered as a fireproof repository safeguarding the valuables of Brooklyn’s elite. Portions of the original pressroom were incorporated directly into the building itself, preserving a tangible connection to the borough’s literary and civic past. The property would later serve as an early home of Brooklyn Law School before evolving into one of DUMBO’s most coveted landmark loft residences, where history, architecture, and modern living seamlessly converge.
Spanning approximately 1,825 square feet, LOFT 7E delivers extraordinary proportions defined by soaring 12-foot ceilings, original exposed beams, striking concrete columns, and a dramatic oversized skylight with retractable shades that floods the home with beautiful natural light throughout the day.
Every window captures iconic Brooklyn Bridge views, creating a constant visual connection to one of New York City’s most celebrated landmarks — breathtaking whether at sunrise, sunset, or illuminated against the evening skyline.
This is loft living at its most inspiring.
The scale is rare. The flexibility is exceptional.
Designed as a true creative canvas, LOFT 7E adapts effortlessly to evolving lifestyles. An alternate architectural plan demonstrates how seamlessly an additional room or private suite can be incorporated, while preserving the openness and dramatic proportions that define the residence. The generous footprint comfortably supports multiple thoughtful configurations including additional bedrooms, home offices, creative studios, or flexible live/work environments.
The proposed plan also introduces a substantial walk-in storage pantry, thoughtfully positioned to accommodate a future in-unit washer and dryer installation with building approval, while still maintaining significant storage capacity — all clearly illustrated within the alternate layout.
Entertaining here feels effortless.
Expansive living and dining areas flow naturally together, creating an environment designed for gatherings large or small. Dinner parties become events. Celebrations become memories. Volume, light, and authentic architectural character combine to create a setting rarely experienced in modern construction.
A welcoming entry foyer introduces the residence, opening into sunlit entertaining spaces finished with hardwood flooring throughout and an abundance of closets and storage options. The fully applianced kitchen with open island anchors the home beautifully, while the spacious king-sized primary suite offers comfort and privacy complete with a proper walk-in closet.
The beautifully finished bathroom features a sleek standing shower enhanced by a built-in heat lamp, adding warmth and comfort during cooler seasons.
Residents of The Eagle enjoy a full-service lifestyle including a full-time on-call superintendent, part-time doorman, bike storage, washer and dryer rooms conveniently located on every floor, a beautifully restored lobby, and a newly renovated fitness center. With building approval, residents may also install their own in-unit washer and dryer as reflected within the alternate plan.
Perfectly positioned moments from the spectacular 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, residents enjoy waterfront promenades, soccer and lacrosse fields, basketball and volleyball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, running and cycling paths, as well as seasonal concerts and outdoor movie nights.
Commuting is effortless with nearby Water Taxi service to Wall Street and Midtown Manhattan, along with convenient access to the F, A, C, 2, and 3 subway lines.
Pets are warmly welcomed, and a massive dog run — the envy of city pet owners — sits just outside your door.
Located within the highly sought-after PS8 elementary and middle school zone.
This is not simply a residence.
It is scale. It is history. It is possibility. And it is a Brooklyn loft lifestyle rarely offered — and even more rarely available.
Though a small neighborhood, DUMBO fits a lot of shopping onto mostly cobblestoned streets, many of which are still embedded with the long-abandoned rails of the old Jay Street Connecting Railroad. You'll find boutiques and flagship outposts of a curated few national brands—a tasteful smattering that hardly dominates the scene. What isn't a neighborhood original is at least likely to be an NYC-owned enterprise with other locations in the city. Restored and repurposed 19th-century buildings house some offices, a collection of dining options, and performing arts institutions. There is actually quite a bit going on down under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, too: The DUMBO Archway has become a plaza that plays host to street fairs, live music, art exhibitions, and even film shoots. Maybe that acronym is just trying to point everyone towards where all the action is.
