Construction has yet to commence at 200 Douglass Street, the site of a proposed 22-story residential tower in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Midwood Investment & Development, the 225-foot-tall structure will span 300,000 square feet and yield 270 rental units with an average scope of 750 square feet. The development will also include 19,000 square feet of retail space and 42 enclosed parking spaces. The property is bound by Douglass Street to the north, DeGraw Street to the south, and Bond Street to the west.
The site currently sits leveled and covered with brick and debris behind wooden fencing. The ground slopes east toward the Gowanus Canal, offering a clear vantage point of the surrounding neighborhood, including the adjacent residential towers of the Society Brooklyn and Sackett Place complexes to the south. Almost every other building on the city block has been torn down over the last several years with the exception of a lone two-story holdout on the southwestern corner by the intersection of Bond and DeGraw Streets.

The nearest subways from the development are the F and G trains at the Bergen and Carroll Street stations to the west along Smith Street, as well as the R train at the Union Street station to the east along 4th Avenue.
Additional development plans, renderings, and a construction timeline for 200 Douglass Street have yet to be revealed.
