Townhouse Condos Coming to Gowanus
The Hudson Companies, the folks who brought you the J Condo in Dumbo, are gearing up to build a series of townhouse condominiums on a 50-by-90-foot lot at the corner of 3rd and Bond Streets in Gowanus that the company purchased at the end of May. (The Brooklyn Eagle cites a price of $7,775,000 but…
The Hudson Companies, the folks who brought you the J Condo in Dumbo, are gearing up to build a series of townhouse condominiums on a 50-by-90-foot lot at the corner of 3rd and Bond Streets in Gowanus that the company purchased at the end of May. (The Brooklyn Eagle cites a price of $7,775,000 but PropertyShark says $4,975,000.) The site actually comprises five lots (Numbers 107-119) for a total footprint of 15,600 square feet. With an FAR of 2.43 3, the developers should be able to build about 38,000 square feet of residential space as of right according to our calculations, though The Eagle story quotes a Massey Knakal broker saying that the number is actually 46,728 square feet of residential space. Hudson’s David Kramer says the project will include about 50 units spread out over nine or 10 townhouses. Rogers Marvel will do the design. It’ll be very interesting to see what the appetite will be in this area for what will presumably pretty high-end product.

I don’t understand the pharse, “50 units spread out over nine or 10 townhouses.” Are we talking a townhouse typology that operates really more like an apartment building? Will there be nine or 10 entrances? Five units per building isn’t sounding much like a townhouse, but maybe I just need more information.
hello! what’s up with the stock photo from… winter, first of all? lots of potentially interesting things in the area, especially as local industry is still thriving and even expanding. if that’s the sort of mixed-use area the architect/developer are glad to be in, alright… if they are hoping to push working people out, or get the city to do it for them– as happened with the NOT OPENING Whole Foods– motherfuck them and John Wayne. curious to learn what parking provisions, if any, there will be here also.
David Kramer shits on Brooklyn again! After permanantly fouling Dumbo he’s at it again. Why does he shit where he eats? Oh yeah, money!
love the ‘hood, love the architect. i’ve been waiting to purchase something…this may be it. have they started to estimate when they are going up/selling? my guess is at least 4 years with this cleanup business.
2 blocks up 3rd st and around corner to Smith/2nd Pl entrance to subway… or walk east to blocks to location of Whole Foods… would 2 and 1/2 blocks make it more extremely accurate for your nitpicky mind?
2 blocks? What are you talking about?
It’s also 2 blocks to the subway and the eventual Whole Foods.
Was this picture taken a low tide?
i think the gowanus area really has the potential to acquire some experimental but really nice, high quality architectural design.
