One Clinton

One Clinton is a modern residential building in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, built on the site of the former branch library of the Brooklyn Public Library. The 36-story high-rise complex, designed by Marvel Architects and developed by Hudson Companies, stands 409 feet tall and contains 134 residential units. The building is notable for its minimalist limestone-clad facade with a repeating grid pattern. Thanks to its triangular footprint, the structure presents three distinct sides, each facing a different part of the city: the harbor to the southwest, Midtown Manhattan to the north, and Brooklyn's brownstone neighborhoods to the east. This architectural design gives the building an elegant presence within its diverse urban surroundings.

The ground floor is home to the new branch of the public library, which has its own entrance on Cadman Plaza West. Besides a dedicated children's area and a mezzanine level for teens, the library offers a multipurpose community room with a kitchenette and a stage. The building also houses a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) lab for local School District 13, as well as a small retail space. A historic link to the previous building is preserved in six bas-reliefs by the artist Clemente Spampinato, which were salvaged from the facade of the old building. Two of these artworks are now incorporated into conference rooms in the new library, while the other four were moved to the garden of the Walt Whitman Library.

The site's redevelopment was shaped by significant changes, as the old library building from the 1960s had high maintenance costs. As part of the redevelopment, the developer committed to building 114 affordable housing units nearby, which was completed in 2019. The new building was completed in April 2019, and the library opened in June 2022. Despite criticism from some community organizations over the commercialization of the site and the smaller library space, which was attributed to insufficient public funding, One Clinton is now a focal point of the neighborhood, bringing housing, cultural education, and public services together under one roof.
