Exterior work is progressing on 585 Union Street, a nine-story residential building in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed by Tavros Capital, Charney Companies, and Canyon Partners, the 95-foot-tall structure will span 167,000 square feet and yield 214 rental units in studio to three-bedroom layouts, with 25 percent designated as affordable housing, as well as 8,900 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The property is bound by Sackett Street to the north, Union Street to the south, and 3rd Avenue to the east.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has been built to its pinnacle since our last on-site update in September, when crews were still pouring the final levels of the building. Construction topped out in late November, and work has since shifted to the installation of the façade. Recent photographs show the building covered in scaffolding and black netting as crews enclose the superstructure in blue insulation boards around the voids for the grid of floor-to-ceiling windows. Two mechanical bulkheads can be seen protruding from the scaffolding above the parapet.

The exterior renderings of 585 Union Street depict a distinctive massing with angular, undulating walls with light gray cladding. Above a seventh-story setback, the exterior transitions to a more traditional volume enclosed in charcoal-hued paneling. The ground-floor commercial frontage will feature broad windows topped with angled canopies matching the geometry of the exterior above.

Several units on the fourth and eighth floors will come with private terraces. Residential amenities will include a fitness center, a shared outdoor roof deck, a swimming pool, and enclosed parking for up to 72 vehicles.
The closest subway from the property is the R train at the Union Street station along 4th Avenue.
585 Union Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for the spring of 2025, as noted on site.
