Introducing Gowanus, the Condo
Does the rendering above signal that Gowanus has suddenly become marketable? The building in question is the under-construction 255 1st Street (see photo on jump), which was designed by Steven Kratchman Architect, the firm that had a hand in designing Chelsea Piers.

Does the rendering above signal that Gowanus has suddenly become marketable? The building in question is the under-construction 255 1st Street (see photo on jump), which was designed by Steven Kratchman Architect, the firm that had a hand in designing Chelsea Piers. It’s entirely possible that the building’s name has changed since the rendering was produced, but we’re fascinated by the fact that the developers would name a condo between 4th and 5th avenues (in Park Slope!) after the canal/industrial neighborhood. The condo will have three one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms and 13 three-bedrooms, and it’s supposed to hit the market soon. GMAP DOB P*Shark
This is one of the sickest threads on this blog. I don’t live in Park Slope or Gowanus, or even Brooklyn, yet. I can’t believe how immature and aggressive you sick fucks really are. You must all be around 15-16 years old, no? I can’t imagine that mature adults would write about their own AND other neighborhoods in this way.
F*cking Park Slope breeders and their repulsive crotch fruit. Planned Parenthood ought to offer discount abortions to everyone in PS.
Park Slope SUVs and volvo driving libs stay away from the 4th Av GowAnus section of Bklyn. It’s icky. We still love to haul our designer twin strollers, dominate the streets, and hang out with moms at the Tea Lounge. Been here ten years and believe we’re entitled to the good things we built. So pls we don’t need your complaints and trash to 7th Ave.
Yeah I said it, “Park Slop”, that’s what you people are, a bunch of baby pushing pigs shopping at your Food Co-op, driving your pig Prius and breast feeding your piglets at Two Boots.
NABE WAR!
by the way, Park Slop sucks gowANUS
WOW what a hideous building.
Hey 7:01–I’ll take a pass on sucking “it,” since with all that toxic soil you live on has probably infested your “it” with all kids of disease. Viva Gowanus!
6:44, you sound like a dipshit. Everyone knows McD’s food contains NO juice. It’s barely even meat anymore. So what’s dripping down your girl’s chin…?
wtf is with the term “park slope proper”? a while back PS used to be thought of as 5th ave to PP, flatbush to 9th st. is that what that’s supposed to mean?
12/21 @ 3:00 – i hear you. the crack epidemic as well was especially tough on portions of crown heights and prospect heights.
park slope was not immune either. my friend’s mom was held up at gunpoint at 4 in the afternoon while opening her front door on one of those “prime park slope” blocks. and one night someone got shot in the head around the corner from our block. and i remember seeing people smoking crack in the phone booth by key food on 7th ave. and i remember seeing someone shot dead in the street right over by the wsb building. there are more anecdotes. this was the 1980s.
i don’t think that you’ll find people who were around at that time trolling this site, making jokes about gunfire in crown heights, lefferts gardens, etc. maybe it’s that type of insensitive crap that gets the 1970/80s people a bit salty.
