Brian Sanchez+FollowGowanus faces big changes as developers move inAnother major property in Gowanus just changed hands, signaling even more transformation for the neighborhood. Goose Property Management snapped up the industrial site at 264 Butler St. for $15.3 million, right next to another lot they bought last year. With demolition plans already filed, it looks like more residential buildings are on the way. For longtime residents, this could mean new neighbors, new businesses, and a very different vibe on the block. How do you feel about Gowanus’s rapid development? Is it a welcome upgrade or are we losing something special? #RealEstate #Gowanus #Brooklyn00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowGowanus’ skyline is about to changeA massive $340 million loan just greenlit the final phase of a 603-unit luxury complex at 313 Bond St, right by the Gowanus Canal. This isn’t just another building—over half the apartments will have private terraces, and there’s 51,600 square feet of new retail space coming to the neighborhood. Since the 2021 rezoning, Gowanus has been buzzing with new developments, but this project stands out for its scale and amenities. What do you think: Is this the kind of growth Gowanus needs, or are we losing the neighborhood’s old character? #RealEstate #Gowanus #BrooklynRealEstate00Share
Brian Sanchez+FollowBrooklyn’s skyline is changing fastA massive new 20-story building is coming to Gowanus, bringing 158 apartments—including 40 affordable units—right to the canal’s edge. With $123 million in fresh funding, this project is just one piece of Brooklyn’s construction boom: over 22,000 new apartments are on the way across the borough! Locals can expect more options for living, shopping, and working, with features like a rooftop lounge, coworking spaces, and ground-floor retail. What do you think—will all this new development make Brooklyn better, or are we losing too much of the old neighborhood vibe? #RealEstate #BrooklynLiving #Gowanus00Share
Samantha Welch+FollowGowanus rents hit $25K—luxury or over the top?A former industrial stretch of Gowanus is now home to Brooklyn’s priciest rental: a $25,000-a-month duplex at 544 Carroll. Just a few years ago, this area was known for its warehouses and a famously polluted canal—now, it’s all about marble countertops, walk-in closets, and even a pet spa. With rents rivaling Manhattan, some locals are excited about the new energy and amenities, while others wonder what this means for the neighborhood’s character and affordability. Would you pay these prices for extra space and luxe perks, or is this too much for Gowanus? #RealEstate #Gowanus #BrooklynLiving00Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowSmith–9th Street finally getting an elevator!Trekking up to the Smith–9th Street subway platform might soon be a thing of the past. The MTA’s latest capital plan includes adding an elevator to NYC’s tallest subway station—something parents, wheelchair users, and anyone with heavy bags have been wishing for years. Locals remember the struggle of strollers and stairs, and this upgrade could make daily commutes a lot less daunting. Imagine swiping in and heading straight to the platform! The start date isn’t set yet, but this move could seriously change how we get around Gowanus. What do you think—long overdue or just in time? #Transportation #Gowanus #NYCTransit161Share
