Introducing Gowanus, the Condo
Does the rendering above signal that Gowanus has suddenly become marketable?

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
Or, perhaps:
Go On Us.
For years, many people have been saying that they live in “Gowanus.” The projects in Boerum Hill are called “Gowanus.”
and another source:
Boundaries: Stretching from Prospect Park West to 4th Avenue, Park Place to Prospect Expressway.
4th avenue is most certainly in Park Slope proper…whether you like it or not is a whole different story.
I don’t care whether it’s “Park Slope Proper,” “Gowanus Improper,” or “Bumfuck Shutthefuckup.” What I want to know is how that jackass put a 12 story building ON 1st street. May it forever reek of McDonald’s.
For those who don’t seem to know where Park Slope is….3:31
“Park Slope is a neighborhood in the western section of Brooklyn, New York City’s most populous borough. Park Slope is roughly bounded by Prospect Park West to 4th Avenue, Park Place to the Greenwood Cemetery according to the New York City Department of City Planning”
someone should get The What a Santa style asshat.
Don’t worry 3:21 that rug was fugly anywayz.
Only a very sleazy realtor, or someone who has been hoodwinked by one, would think that 1st Street and 4th Avenue is “Park Slope Proper.”
Damn, my cat just puked on the new rug!
