Over at 214 North 11th Street (also dubbed the Roebling Oil Field for self-explanatory reasons by our friends at Gowanus Lounge), the ubiquitous Karl Fischer has designed a 120-unit, 146,000-square-foot residential building. The legal entity that controls the project may provide a clue to the name that will ultimately be used to market the project—McCarren Park Mews. Never mind that it’s neither on the park or a mews. The issue of a name, however, may be moot if they can’t get the oil problem under control: Pile driving earlier this week reportedly stirred up some more oily stink.

  1. Wow , I really want to buy a condo on the soon to be route of heavy truck traffic detoured down my street. It’s a by-product of the fantastic progress for the good of all mankind created by The Kent Avenue Improvement Plan.

    and not just in one direction but on both sides, as the trucks will turn back around at Union avenue and come up N. 10 th street. It sounds super safe and enjoyable.

  2. hope they straighten out the oil issue. live near there and have been watching the progress. seems like it has been going well. it’s being built quickly and looks like decent construction.
