Façade installation is progressing on Nevins Landing, a two-tower residential development at 310–340 Nevins Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed by Charney Companies and Tavros Capital, the 22-story project consists of Nevins Landing North at 310 Nevins Street and Nevins Landing South at 340 Nevins Street. The two buildings will span a combined 600,000 square feet and yield 654 rental units, with 25 percent reserved for affordable housing. The 2.3-acre project site is alternately addressed as 417 Carroll Street and located on a large rectangular parcel along the Gowanus Canal between Union and Carroll Streets.
Both reinforced concrete superstructures topped out since our last update in early February, when the shorter Nevins Landing South was closing in on pinnacle and Nevins Landing North was just beginning to rise above street level. The shorter building is now extensively clad in its floor-to-ceiling windows behind an assembly of scaffolding and netting. Its podium is also almost fully enclosed in its light gray brick façade, with sections of the scaffolding disassembled along the waterfront.
The taller counterpart at 310 Nevins Street is further behind. The western half of its superstructure has yet to be formed, and rebar protrudes from the floor plates that extend beyond the core wall. These floors will eventually connect to the angled wing of the tower, as seen in the rendering above. Façade work is nevertheless moving along on the completed portion of the building, with the first set of windows beginning installation on the lower levels as crews frame out the floors above with metal studs and white insulation boards.

Excavators, pile drilling machines, and other equipment are currently preparing the ground for the remainder of Nevins Landing North, as well as for the waterfront esplanade.

Nevins Landing South is expected to span 290,000 square feet and yield 306 rental units, as well as ground-floor retail space with 225 feet of frontage along Union Street and the Gowanus Canal. Nevins Landing North will span 306,000 square feet and yield 348 rental units, and will also feature ground-floor retail with 225 feet of frontage along Union Street and the Gowanus Canal.
The above and below renderings show the two buildings’ position along the Gowanus Canal and the shared esplanade that is being designed by James Corner Field Operations. Both buildings have nearly identical superstructures with large multistory podiums topped with landscaped terraces. Above, the towers rise in broad volumes with walls that angle outward on the northern and southern ends, and culminate in landscaped roof decks. Both properties will feature the same brick cladding, grid of rectangular and half-arch windows on the podium, and wide arches of finished concrete on the towers.

In 2021, Nevins Landing set the record for the largest residential development deal in New York City when Property Markets Group sold the 101,118-square-foot plot to the current developers for $102 million. Brokerage firm TerraCRG closed the transaction by January 2022. The zoning for the site allowed for 505,590 square feet of buildable square feet.
The site is a short walk from the R train at the Union Street station.
Nevins Landing’s anticipated completion date is slated for the spring of 2026, as noted on site.

Does the Gowanus Canal still smell especially during the summers?
Let’s see if the 25% affordable units are truly affordable, or just more higher up close to market rate units
The Gowanus neighborhood is surging with activity. Quite incredible
So now we have two pairs of twin buildings on opposite sides of the Gowanus Canal: Nevins Landing, and Society Brooklyn + Sackett Place 👍
Amazing how you can build half a building and build the other half at a later time
Crazy isn’t it? A couple of buildings have done it over there. It’s seemed they have lots of ground work (decontamination?) to do in the section that is built later.
