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

  1. It seems out to me that people such as “white and proud in plg” who have black ink would convey more authority or trustworthiness.

    they are made up names which are not censored as far as i can tell.

  2. i currently live in park slope and love it. I happen to find that many older residence talk the most crap about the neighborhood when they are themselves transplants who bought in during the late 80’s early 90’s

    kinda silly and i was just pointing that out. Park Slope is no different than anywhere else in NYC. People need to point a finger to make themselves feel better.
