The Hub, also known as 333 Schermerhorn Street, is a 610-foot, 55-floor skyscraper in the Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.[1][2][3] The building contains 754 apartments, four high-rise elevators and three mid-rise elevators.[4]

The Hub was the tallest building in Brooklyn when it topped out in December 2015,[5] passing previous record-holder, AVA DoBro, until it was passed in turn by Brooklyn Point, within the City Point complex, in April 2019.[6]
