Construction is finished on Longview, a 17-story residential building at 380 4th Avenue in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Designed by GF55 Architects and developed by Quinlan Development Group, the 175-foot-tall structure spans 211,650 square feet and yields 197 rental units with an average scope of 830 square feet. The project also includes 6,030 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, a cellar level, a 40-foot-long rear yard, and 30 enclosed parking spaces. Sixty of the units are designated as affordable housing. The ground-up development is located between 3rd and 6th Streets.
All exterior work has been completed since our on-site last update in early August 2024, when crews were still installing the façade behind an assembly of scaffolding and black netting on the main eastern elevation. The structure now stands fully enclosed in its envelope, which is largely composed of light gray brick surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows. The upper floors feature a contrasting façade of red corrugated paneling, and the northern and southern lot line walls are finished in EIFS. Dark stone is used around the base of the building, and the main entrance is tucked under a metal canopy with rounded corners along 4th Avenue.

I feel like there’s still not enough expansion joints on the front.
Those arches feel out of place.
Shelving for humans
All in all, I like the design. The red color on top makes a huge difference to avoid boredom.
Go wanus!
