Gowanus

Remarkable adaptations to toxins in the polluted waterway have already inspired the development of a protein gel to encapsulate cadmium so it can be safely reused.

Around 170 artists participated this year, all creating individual works of art depicting the old water tower that inspired Arts Gowanus’ logo.

With rents starting at $874, the under-construction 17-story gray brick building will have air conditioning, in-unit laundry, and parking.

The Red Hook tank is critical to the success of the Gowanus Canal Superfund cleanup and will prevent contamination of the canal during storms.

The under-construction development on 4th Avenue, which has replaced a gas station, will include a gym and yoga room.
