Public Place Demolition Set to Start

461-Smith-Street-0209.jpg
On Friday, the Department of Buildings approved a permit for the demolition of the warehouse at the corner of Smith and Huntington. As Gowanus Lounge points out this morning, the 125,000-square-foot building was added to the Public Place footprint after Hudson Companies beat out Related to win the right to develop the contaminated site; the number of units doubled from 774 to 1,500 with the addition. The building, which used to house the Manufactured Gas Plant, has toxins going more than 100 feet into the ground.

Nice view down into the site from the Manhattan-bound F, and Queens-bound g, trains. Roof is mostly gone.
