Permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 577 Union Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Located between Nevins Street and 3rd Avenue, the lot is one block from the Union Street subway station, serviced by the R train. Charney Companies and Tavros Capital is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 95-foot-tall development will yield 167,036 square feet, with 158,137 square feet designated for residential space and 8,899 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 214 residences with 25 percent of units designated as affordable housing. Apartments will most likely be rentals based on the average unit scope of 739 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have 72 enclosed parking spaces.
Fogarty Finger Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in June of this year for the single-story building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Farewell to the caskets.
I’m not sure if this is a done deal until the city council passes the disasterous Gowanus rezoning.
if so , there goes the low rise neighborhood and the south Brooklyn Casket company who also sold their properties across the street
I’m praying it won’t be another out of context glass box.
We will see if these so called “affordable housing” units will be at the usual 130% of Ami meaning only available to those making $100,000 or more.
Why don’t they tell the truth and say “income linked or income based apartments not bull “affordable housing”
WTF ! 72 parking spaces included.
Just what this area needs , more congestion and more cars??
