Permits have been filed for a 21-story mixed-use building at 404 Carroll Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Located adjacent to the Gowanus Canal between Nevins Street and Bond Street, the lot is a few blocks from the Carroll Street subway station, serviced by the F and G trains. The Vorea Group is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 224-foot-tall development will consist of a 16-story east tower and a 21-story west tower, yielding a total 313,672 square feet. Approximately 286,740 square feet will be designated for residential space and 26,932 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 360 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 796 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and 54 enclosed parking spaces.
FXCollaborative is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

up up and away right next to the superfund canal.
These people will have no idea until the noxious fumes they will smell and inhale. Very healthy.
While we are at it , lets change this industrial neighborhood into a gentrified yuppie heaven and wipe away all those jobs.
You realize they’re remediating the pollution right? That’s what a superfund site means. Its previous life as a viable industrial zone is over for anyone living in reality.
I live in the neighborhood and i’m sure you don’t.
You can breathe in the noxious fumes every night and when there’s another Hurricane Sandy it will all overflow into the canal again and onto our streets and bring massive floods with this contaminated water. They have no plan for what to do with all the sewage produced by all these new people moving in. That’s thousands of toilets flushing every day multiple times.
You said
remediating the pollution?
They are doing a little bit of dredging a couple of feet down. It would take a hundred years to get rid of all the poisonous toxic compounds that were dumped in this canal over the last 100 years by the surrounding industrial sites. Now they are selling it like its the Italian Venice canal.
What jobs is this eliminating? It’s a vacant lot.
Gentrification will restore jobs where factories have been shuttered for decades and have been replaced by empty warehouses that offer very few jobs.
What jobs? The Gowanus has barely any jobs. Mostly truck parking, salt storage, etc. And it will be one of the cleanest neighborhoods anywhere, due to the Superfund cleanup.
do you live in the neighborhood? I do.
there are multiple industrial sites that employ hundreds of people in Gowanus right on and around the canal, along with many artists studios .
Superfund cleanup? You’re joking right?
