New Rendering Revealed For 366 Bond Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn

Rendering courtesy of Shakespeare Gordon Studio.

A new rendering has been revealed for 366 Bond Street, a proposed eight-story affordable housing complex for senior citizens in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Shakespeare Gordon Studio, the structure is planned to yield 121 low-income homes along with a 25,586-square-foot community facility on the ground floor. The roughly 42,000-square-foot property is bound by Carroll Street to the north, 1st Street to the south, and Bond Street to the east.

The rendering is oriented looking southwest, showing the building rising in multiple volumes around a pair of two-story residential holdouts along Carroll Street. A third low-rise structure will also be preserved at the corner of Bond and 1st Streets. The multifaceted building will be clad in two tones of brown brick framing a grid of recessed windows, which wrap around some of the corners in a pattern of staggered cutouts. The entrance will be positioned along Bond Street with a small set of stairs leading up to the doors beneath a black canopy. New tree-lined sidewalks will surround the property.

The community facility is planned to offer amenities including office space, outdoor area, and a gaming room.

The nearest subways from the development site are the F and G trains at the Carroll Street station to the west along Smith Street.

A construction timeline for 366 Bond Street has yet to be announced.

    Very non-threatening.

  2. Is this meant to replace or expand the existing senior housing complex on that land?

  3. Having a touch of OCD, I generally really hate the messiness of holdouts. But in this case, as shown in the rendering, I like the effect of these holdouts. If the rendering can be taken at face value, these few little buildings give such a pleasant small town character to the block. It looks like the larger, nearly featureless apartment building has grown up around them like a treetrunk grows around an intrusive wrought iron fence. The neighborhood is richer for it.

    • their not holdouts , they own their buildings and weren’t asked to sell.
      The buildings are being built on property already owned by the senior center

    • If the facades line up I agree. If the new building is set back 3 or 4 feet and the old rowhouses are ackwardly sticking out with visible blank party walls visible I would say that’s not a great end result.

      Elderly people don’t want flashy colors, I can recognize it by sight. If developers were biased, they wouldn’t have designed it this well: Thanks.
