Curbed unveiled the latest rendering of the Toll Brothers’ Gowanus development — remember that? — yesterday. The latest news is that the development’s 26-section Draft Environmental Impact Statement has been posted on the nyc.gov Web site. “The review is happening because the Toll Brothers are looking for a special rezoning in advance of the bigger Gowanus rezoning that’s being done,” Curbed reports. They want the development to span two blocks, with 447 units (up to 130 affordable units), 2,000 square feet of commercial space, 268 parking spaces — that’s 525,000 square feet altogether, all of it elevated should the Gowanus Canal rise. Estimated finish date: 2011. Writes Curbed: “Let’s just say that the Good Old Gowanus will be a very different place if the project is approved and built.”
