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. 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
Carroll Gardens =Great Nabe Park Slope=great nabe Gowanas= soon to be great nabe.
Are Park Slopers the guys that eat McDs on the train, make the whole car smell like deep fries at 11am and leave garbage on the seats?
Brownstoner is like The Warriors, with Park Slope yuppies. So territorial. Let’s rumble after the playdates.
All this McDonald’s talk has got me craving a cheeseburger. You people suck.
I am proud to live in Gowanus – All of you PS jealous haters can suck it!
Park slope has a Mcdonalds. Yummy. I love buying my fat girlfriend a big mac and fries and then watching her eat it and seeing the juice running down her face. Double Yummy. This wiil be even better when I live in the Gowanus for 800,000 2 bedroom 2 bath. Good thing too cause She usually takes a really long time in the bathroom after eating Mickey D”S.. I like them big bootys.
