Bushwick’s Landmarked Ulmer Brewery Becomes Apartments

The historic, vacant William Ulmer Brewery in Bushwick, Brooklyn, has been the target of a number of development proposals in the last few years — from a new brewery, to office space, to apartments and retail.Architect Jordan Rogove of DXA Studio has shepherded the project through all of these iterations since the owner and developer, Rivington Company, hired his firm in 2015. He said DXA and the developer spent years trying to attract commercial and manufacturing tenants to the building, which was constructed in the 1870s and landmarked in 2010. But “ultimately the market wasn’t quite there.”
