Gowanus Boutique Hotel About Ready to Rock
For a building that’s been in the planning process since 2003, the Andres Escobar-designed boutique hotel rising on the former site of a plumbing supply warehouse on Fourth Avenue certainly has flown up in record time.

For a building that’s been in the planning process since 2003, the Andres Escobar-designed boutique hotel rising on the former site of a plumbing supply warehouse on Fourth Avenue certainly has flown up in record time. Back in November, the chatter was that the owner was shooting for a first quarter opening, an event that seems increasingly unlikely with each passing day of March. Has anyone heard anything recently about opening dates or rates? We’d settle for a name.
Gowanus Boutique Hotel Gets Its Glass On [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
uhhhh….nice try, but the original brenda from flatbush has a typekey identity and you don’t.
shows what a total moron you are. among other things…
do you make it habit of stealing other people’s identity??? hmmmm.
Nah, nothin’ doing, you corporate-pandering sell-out–I will buy MY books on self-esteem at one of the neighborhood’s surviving independent bookstores. Hee hee hee hee hee. (P.S. Give a girl a break–it was a GIFT CARD!! By using it, I was actually eating into their anticipated profits from uncashed gift card purchases!!)
brenda – we won’t be looking at you in starbucks, because we will be supporting the many great smaller coffee shops in the neighborhood.
no worries. and you might want to pick up a book on self esteem at the barnes and noble across the street next time you go grab your next cup o joe.
As a person who is intensely self-conscious sitting around a coffee shop trying to relax, I am very grateful that all the other people are on laptops. That way, I can look up from my cup without having to meet their eyes and have the right sort of expression on my face (never know what that is, you see). The other day, I hit the SBUX on 7th Ave for first time in years ’cause Spouse got a gift card; came between stroller waves and even got the BIG BROWN VELVET ARMCHAIR all to myself. It was very nice, except for the guilt that Brownstoner readers would think me a sellout. So I just won’t look any of you in the eye ’til I finish my latte.
BTW, will the “Hotel Bleugh” really have a rooftop restaurant? Ah, breathe deep on a summer night–can you smell the Gowanus from up there?
Yup, landlords want Starbucks because it’s guaranteed income – not because they can be soaked.
And nothing in Brooklyn exceeds $150 a square foot, and very little exceeds $100 a square foot.
Word is that the broker bs hype for novo was just that, bs. people apparently are dropping their reservations like flies… Not only due to the subpar construction, crooked tiles, no taping at seams of sheetrock, missing studs, no grout at tile lines, a huge mass of grout behind the toilet. Make sure you look closley at this katan has his hand in this project!!
I think the rooftop bar/resto idea got nixed by some zoning board or other. What I don’t understand is why they built those big balconies overlooking 4th ave instead of looking toward Manhattan.
Isn’t this place supposed to have a rooftop bar/ retaurant?
