The Hub, also known as 333 Schermerhorn Street, is a very tall building called a skyscraper. It is located in the Downtown Brooklyn area of Brooklyn, New York City. The building stands 610 feet (about 186 meters) tall and has 55 floors.
The Hub is home to 754 apartments, where many people live. To help residents get around, it has seven elevators. Four of these are for the higher floors, and three are for the middle floors.
When it was finished in December 2015, The Hub became the tallest building in Brooklyn. It took this title from another building called AVA DoBro. However, The Hub didn't hold the record for long. In April 2019, a new building named Brooklyn Point, part of the City Point complex, became even taller.
