Yesterday Curbed had renderings of the plans for the Public Place that Related and Hudson Cos. have submitted. We’ve slapped a few of them into the slideshow above. As noted a couple days ago, the two proposals for the 5.8-acre property at Smith and Fifth streets are very similar on paper, though Hudson’s plans call for a denser development with more community/cultural space. Whichever development is chosen is going to forever alter the face of both Gowanus and Carroll Gardens, and, according to an article in the Brooklyn Eagle could be even bigger than any of these renderings suggest. If the owner of a warehouse next to the Public Place teams with the city-anointed developer, hundreds upon hundreds of residential units may be added to the plan.
