“655 Union Street is the only full amenity rental building on the border of Gowanus and Park Slope, offering a one-of-a-kind living experience that combines high-quality, bespoke design with premium finishes and luxury comforts, including a rooftop pool,” said Brian Ezra, founding principal of Avery Hall. “This building stands out for its attention to detail, from the white oak and terrazzo interiors to the custom light fixtures and integrated appliances, offering rentals that look like condos in one of the city’s most sought-after areas.”
The property is located directly adjacent to the Union Street subway station, served by the D, N, R, and W trains.

Rooftop access for residents is great, but I don’t understand the fitness amenities. If they just created retail space and encouraged a gym or pilates studio to open up shop, there would be a much bigger customer base (the whole neighborhood) and thus have more classes, staffing, maintenance, etc.
A private gym amenity is almost universally preferred by residents for a number of obvious reasons.
Chose to be located on the border and both have a feeling of being different, that is the experience of living such as traffic jams or broken traffic lights: Thanks.
