HOLY COW! Gowanus Lounge has scored a tremendous scoop by unearthing the “scoping document” Toll Brothers filed with the Department of City Planning for its planned development between the Gowanus Canal, Bond Street, Carroll Street and Second Street. The firm is certainly not thinking small: Toll wants to build a 605,380-square-foot development with 577 units of housing (130 of them affordable), 2,000 square feet of “community space,” and 2,000 square feet of retail. The buildings would be 4-12 stories tall. City Planning is going to hold a public scoping meeting on the project early next month. Toll Brothers has been looking to get a jump on the larger rezoning of Gowanus in order to move forward with the development, which it says it could complete by 2011.

I smell Oscar!
This could be Gyllenhaal and Saaaaarsgaaaard’s first flick together. Mags as crusading mother of two and Peter as the ruthless yuppie developer with toxic blood on his hands.
Buscemi, Turturro and John Ventimiglia play three homeless Gulf War vets who live in a squat that’s endangered and post on Brownstoner on the side.
“The What” plays the scumbag attorney
“I am a lawyer who did environmental work for an industrial company with a facility along the canal”
Meaning you routinely sell you soul defending environmental polluters. Congrats.
Lawyer, Liar.
What if the toxins increase penis size? This could be the best neighborhood in all of the USA.
I am a lawyer who did environmental work for an industrial company with a facility along the canal.
I can’t name names or provide details, but I can tell you that you do NOT want to live anywhere near Gowanus.
Even if they do actually dredge the canal, that will stir up more toxins and increase the problem.
You have been warned. That is all.
AY will be worthless once this is built
What are you saying, 12:44? What did my parents tell you?
