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
Perfect for a billboard.
This looks like a nice building. I like the name. I also like this site and all of you. You are my best friends.

Call me crazy, but you know it would be fun to respond to the question, “where do you live?” with this answer; “I live in the Gowanus.”
When I moved to NYC 13+ years ago, my buddy wanted to move to the building named “The Future,” just so he could say, “I live in The Future.”
I like that building — at least its rendering. As for the hipness or not of the Gowanus area, I think it’s hip for people who live near — but not too near — the eponymous body of “water.” Now that I walk by it every weekday, I think not. But still, it’s a fairly nice looking building on what will be a very, very dull avenue.

Does anyone knwo what the prices will be on these?
“Since when is 1st street and 4th ave park slope proper?”
1st street between 4th and 5th has been park slope proper for some time now.
park slope proper is anthing east of 4th avenue including the east side of that avenue.
Please tell me there WILL be open house picks today, or a HOTD or something. Please…
Black are people who log in with a user ID, Grey are often trolls who’s sole purpose in life is to stir crap, wind people up and generally bring on the hatred.
