Construction is rising 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 project consists of the 22-story Nevins Landing North at 310 Nevins Street and the 17-story 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.
A significant amount of progress has occurred since our last update in April, when earthwork was just getting started on both sites. The reinforced concrete superstructure of Nevins Landing South is already closing in on its 17-story pinnacle, as seen in the following photos. This building will 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. The latter will abut a new esplanade with landscaping by James Corner Field Operations.
Based on the pace of progress, this shorter component of the masterplan could likely top out before the end of winter.

Work is further behind on the taller Nevins Landing North, where the reinforced concrete superstructure has just begun to rise above street level. This taller component 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.
This structure will likely top out around the middle of the year.

The renderings in the main photo and below show the two buildings’ position along the canal and the adjacent landscaped esplanade. The structures feature near mirror-image designs beginning with large multi-story 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 roof decks. Both structures feature brick cladding surrounding 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 property features 225 feet of frontage along Carroll and Union Streets, 450 feet along Nevins Street, and 450 feet along the Gowanus Canal.
The site is a short walk from the R train at the Union Street station.
Both Nevins Landing North and Nevins Landing South have an anticipated completion date for the spring of 2026, as noted on site.

Hmm No one left a comment on how nice and different looking these 2-towers look. Nice round curves-NOT all windows -nice approach
Note the curves scattered throughout the structure, this may be the reason why tourists come. By boat to visit these buildings: Thanks to Michael Young.
Beautiful design
Interesting to see the number of two-tower buildings that have been built/are being built around the canal. Is that because of zoning purposes, practicality, or just some kind of aesthetic trend for the area?
Beautiful design. The curves are everything.
I like that the base echos old warehouse factory buildings in the area.
good job..
hope it turns out as good as rendering
It’s really nice, and seems to be retaining the details in the rendering. I’m so glad these are going up (and soon a building from Tankhouse) to pull attention away from the four disappointingly mediocre blue glass boxes.
One of the better designs in the area. Seems like everything is going up except for the supposed affordable housing complex at Gowanus Green, though. What’s happening there?
